Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can affect women’s menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall well-being. Many women experience symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure on surrounding organs. Dr. Dipika Palit offers modern, minimally invasive treatments tailored to the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids. Early management helps preserve fertility and prevent complications.

What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are benign tumors in the uterine muscle that can vary in size and number, sometimes causing pain, heavy periods, or reproductive challenges.

Procedure

Diagnosis is made using ultrasound or MRI scans. Treatment options include medication for symptom control or minimally invasive surgery like myomectomy or laparoscopy, depending on severity and reproductive goals.

Why It Happens / Best Age / Treatment

Fibroids are more common in women aged 30–50 and may be influenced by hormones and genetics. Treatment depends on symptoms, size, and desire for pregnancy. Early detection allows for effective management and fertility preservation.
