Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Some fibroids cause no symptoms, while others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination, and reproductive problems.
Our healthcare assistance can help patients explore specialist consultation and treatment for:
The appropriate treatment depends on the size, number and location of fibroids, symptoms, age, overall health, and pregnancy/fertility goals.
Uterine fibroids are growths made up of muscle and connective tissue that develop in or around the uterus. They are generally benign (non-cancerous).
Fibroids can vary considerably in:
Some women have small fibroids without any symptoms, while others may experience significant bleeding, pain, pressure, or reproductive concerns.
Because different pelvic conditions can cause similar symptoms, a proper gynaecological evaluation is important before deciding on treatment.
These develop within the muscular wall of the uterus and are among the commonly encountered types of fibroids.
These develop closer to the inner cavity of the uterus and can be associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and, in some cases, reproductive problems.
These develop toward the outer surface of the uterus and may cause pressure symptoms depending on their size and location.
These fibroids are attached to the uterus by a stalk and can occur on either the outer or inner surface.
The location of a fibroid can be as important as its size when determining symptoms and treatment options.
Many women with fibroids may have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
Not every symptom is caused by fibroids, so medical assessment is important.
Consider specialist consultation if you experience:
Early evaluation can help identify the cause of symptoms and determine whether monitoring or active treatment is appropriate.
A doctor may review your symptoms, menstrual history, reproductive history, previous medical conditions, and perform an appropriate physical examination.
Ultrasound is commonly used to identify and assess uterine fibroids, including their approximate size and location.
For some patients, a transvaginal ultrasound can provide more detailed imaging of the uterus and pelvic structures.
Pelvic MRI may be recommended in selected cases, particularly when detailed information about the number, size, location, or characteristics of fibroids is needed for treatment planning.
If heavy menstrual bleeding is present, the doctor may recommend blood tests to evaluate for anaemia and other relevant conditions.
The exact diagnostic approach depends on the patient’s symptoms and clinical assessment.
There is no single treatment that is best for every woman. Treatment is selected according to symptoms, fibroid characteristics, age, overall health and reproductive goals.
If fibroids are small or do not cause significant symptoms, treatment may not be immediately necessary. Your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring to assess symptoms and fibroid growth.
Certain medicines can help control symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and painful periods. Some hormone-based treatments may also temporarily reduce fibroid size or symptoms in selected patients.
Medication generally focuses on controlling symptoms rather than permanently removing fibroids.
A myomectomy removes fibroids while preserving the uterus. It may be considered for women who want to retain their uterus, including some women who wish to become pregnant in the future.
Depending on the location and size of the fibroid, myomectomy may be performed through:
The appropriate technique depends on the individual patient’s condition.
Uterine artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure in which blood flow to the fibroids is reduced using small embolic particles delivered through a catheter. Reduced blood supply can cause fibroids to shrink and symptoms to improve.
Its suitability depends on the individual patient, and the effect on future pregnancy should be discussed carefully with a specialist.
Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to destroy fibroid tissue and can help reduce fibroid size and symptoms. Different approaches may be available depending on the fibroid’s characteristics and the treatment system used.
A hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus and is a definitive treatment for uterine fibroids. It may be considered when fibroids are very large, symptoms are severe, or other treatments are unsuitable or unsuccessful.
Because the uterus is removed, pregnancy is no longer possible after hysterectomy.
At CurePath Health Solution, we believe fibroid treatment should begin with understanding the patient’s condition and personal goals—not simply treating an ultrasound report.

In some women, fibroids may contribute to fertility problems, although many women with fibroids are able to become pregnant. The effect depends partly on the fibroid’s size and location, and other causes of infertility should also be evaluated.
If pregnancy is part of your future plans, tell your gynecologist before selecting a treatment. Some procedures are more suitable than others depending on your reproductive goals.
Having fibroids does not automatically mean that you cannot become pregnant. However, certain fibroids may be associated with fertility or pregnancy-related concerns.
If you are planning pregnancy and have been diagnosed with fibroids, a specialist evaluation can help determine whether the fibroids require treatment or monitoring.
Ignoring persistent heavy bleeding or pelvic symptoms may affect your daily activities and, in some cases, contribute to anemia. Appropriate evaluation can help identify the cause of symptoms and determine whether monitoring or treatment is needed.
Don’t let heavy periods or pelvic discomfort become your normal. Consult a qualified specialist for proper evaluation.
No. Uterine fibroids are benign growths and are not cancer.
No. Fibroids that cause no or minimal symptoms may only require observation and periodic monitoring.
Yes. Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding is one of the most common symptoms associated with symptomatic fibroids.
Fibroids can cause pelvic or abdominal pain, pressure, heaviness and lower-back discomfort, particularly when they are larger or located in positions that affect surrounding structures.
Some fibroids can affect fertility or pregnancy, but many women with fibroids are able to become pregnant. Individual assessment is important.
Fibroids may shrink when estrogen levels decline, particularly around and after menopause, although this does not happen in every case.
No. Depending on the patient’s condition, treatment may include monitoring, medication, myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, radiofrequency ablation and other procedures.
In appropriate cases, a myomectomy can remove fibroids while leaving the uterus in place. Other uterus-preserving approaches may also be considered depending on the patient’s condition and goals.
Seek prompt medical care for severe vaginal bleeding or sudden, severe pelvic pain.
