Fibroid Treatment

Understanding Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are benign tumours made up of muscle and fibrous tissue that grow in the uterus. They can vary greatly in size, from very small growths that are barely visible to large masses that may enlarge the uterus.

Many women may not realise they have fibroids until they undergo a routine pelvic exam or imaging test. However, when symptoms appear, they can interfere with menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall quality of life.

Fibroids are extremely common, particularly among women aged 30–50. While the exact cause remains unclear, hormonal factors and genetic predisposition are believed to play a role in their development.

Types of Uterine Fibroids

Here are the common types:

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help manage symptoms effectively and protect reproductive health.

Advanced Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

At Cocoon Hospital, diagnosing fibroids involves a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Advanced diagnostic tests may include:

• Pelvic examination
• Ultrasound imaging
• Transvaginal ultrasound
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Hysteroscopy
• Sonohysterography
• Laparoscopy (in certain cases)
• Blood tests to evaluate anemia or hormonal imbalance

These diagnostic tools help determine the size, number, and location of fibroids, which is essential for planning the most suitable treatment approach.

Treatment Options for Fibroids at Cocoon Hospital

Not all fibroids require treatment. Many women with small or asymptomatic fibroids may only need regular monitoring. Treatment becomes necessary if fibroids cause persistent symptoms, affect fertility, or significantly impact daily life.

There is no single treatment suitable for every patient. Our gynaecologists curate personalised plan based on several factors, including fibroid size, symptoms, age, fertility plans, and overall health.

Our experts offer a range of treatment options tailored to each individual patient.

Lifestyle and Medical Management

• Hormonal Therapies: Medications may help regulate hormones and control heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory medications may reduce pelvic pain and discomfort.
• Iron Supplements: Recommended if heavy bleeding leads to anaemia.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight, balanced diet, and stress management can help improve overall reproductive health.

Advanced Treatments

• Myomectomy: Surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, often recommended for women planning pregnancy.
• Hysteroscopic Fibroid Removal: A minimally invasive procedure used to remove fibroids inside the uterine cavity.
• Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A keyhole surgical technique to remove fibroids with faster recovery.
• Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): A minimally invasive procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
• Hysterectomy: In severe cases where fibroids cause significant symptoms and fertility preservation is not required, removal of the uterus may be recommended.
