Uterine Fibroid Treatment in HSR Layout, Bangalore

Being told after a scan that you have fibroids is unsettling, and for most women the next thought is that a hysterectomy is coming. For the majority, it is not. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the muscular wall of the uterus, they are extremely common, and a great many are picked up incidentally on a scan done for something else and never cause a single symptom. Where there are no symptoms and the fibroid is not in a troublesome position, the correct answer is usually monitoring with a repeat scan, not an operation. Dr. Sanjana L sees women with newly diagnosed fibroids at Health Nest in HSR Layout Sector 2, and the visit generally starts with translating your scan report into plain language.

Position matters more than size. A small submucosal fibroid pushing into the cavity of the uterus can cause heavy bleeding and interfere with conception, while a considerably larger subserosal one sitting on the outer surface may cause nothing at all; intramural fibroids grow within the wall and behave somewhere between the two. Treatment follows a ladder — watchful monitoring, then medical management for heavy bleeding and the anaemia that follows it, then uterus-preserving surgery such as hysteroscopic or laparoscopic myomectomy when symptoms justify it. Dr. Sanjana is FMAS-trained in minimally invasive surgery, so keyhole options are weighed properly. Hysterectomy sits at the end of that ladder, not the start.
