About the Condition
What is Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths of muscular tissue that develop within or around the wall of the uterus, and are among the most common gynaecological findings in women of reproductive age. While many fibroids cause no significant problems, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, urinary frequency, or difficulty conceiving, depending on their size, number, and location within the uterine wall. Left unmanaged, symptomatic fibroids may contribute to iron-deficiency anaemia, chronic pelvic pain, or complications in pregnancy. A thorough assessment—including a detailed medical history, pelvic examination, and appropriate imaging—is needed to understand the full picture before any treatment decisions are made.

Treatment options for Uterine Fibroids
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (benign muscular tumours of the uterus) while preserving the uterus itself, making it the preferred option for women who wish to retain fertility or avoid hysterectomy.
Why it may be consideredIt is recommended when fibroids cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, or infertility. The technique used depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids.

Common questions
FAQs about Uterine Fibroids in Bengaluru, India
What is Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids (also called leiomyomas or myomas) are benign tumours composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue that grow in or around the uterus. They vary widely in size—from a few millimetres to several centimetres—and in their precise location relative to the uterine layers.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Uterine Fibroids?
Common symptoms include abnormally heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pain or a sensation of pressure, frequent urination, lower back discomfort, and in some cases reduced fertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. The severity of symptoms is strongly influenced by where the fibroid sits—submucosal fibroids (inside the uterine cavity) are more likely to affect bleeding and fertility, while subserosal fibroids (on the outer surface) more often cause pressure symptoms. It is important to note that similar symptoms can arise from other gynaecological conditions, so symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Uterine Fibroids diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a pelvic examination followed by transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound, which can confirm the presence, number, size, and approximate location of fibroids. Where more detailed anatomical information is needed—particularly before surgical planning—an MRI of the pelvis provides precise mapping of fibroid type (submucosal, intramural, or subserosal) and any proximity to surrounding structures. Blood tests, including a full blood count, are commonly ordered to assess for anaemia resulting from chronic blood loss; in some cases saline-infusion sonography or hysteroscopy may be used to evaluate the uterine cavity directly.
How is Uterine Fibroids treated?
The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the size and location of fibroids, a woman's age, and her reproductive intentions, and must be determined through individual assessment by a qualified clinician. Options range from watchful waiting and medical management for mild or asymptomatic cases, through to minimally invasive procedures and conventional surgery for more significant disease. Myomectomy—surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus—is a commonly performed procedure for women who wish to retain fertility or prefer uterus-sparing treatment.
Can Uterine Fibroids be treated without surgery?
Non-surgical management is a meaningful pathway for many women with fibroids, particularly those with mild symptoms or who are approaching menopause, when fibroids tend to shrink naturally. Medical options may include hormonal therapies (such as combined oral contraceptives, progestogens, or GnRH analogues) to reduce bleeding and, in some cases, temporarily reduce fibroid size, as well as non-hormonal medications to manage heavy menstrual bleeding. An intrauterine device (IUD) releasing levonorgestrel may also be considered in selected cases; however, the suitability of any medical treatment depends on individual circumstances and must be evaluated by a clinician.
When is Myomectomy considered for Uterine Fibroids?
Myomectomy may be considered when conservative or medical options have not achieved enough improvement, or when the severity of the condition warrants it. The decision depends on clinical assessment, expected benefits and individual risks.
Which doctor treats Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are primarily evaluated and managed by a gynaecologist, and where surgery is being considered, a gynaecological surgeon with specific experience in uterine-preserving procedures such as myomectomy. In cases involving fertility concerns, referral to a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist may also form part of a coordinated care plan.
How do I choose a doctor for Uterine Fibroids?
When selecting a specialist, it is worth looking for a gynaecologist or gynaecological surgeon with documented experience in managing fibroids across a range of sizes and locations, access to high-quality pelvic imaging, and—if surgery is being considered—a clear record of performing myomectomy by the approach most appropriate for your case (hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, or open). Confirming that the treating team offers structured follow-up and can coordinate care with fertility specialists or haematologists if needed is equally important.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a medical summary, investigation and imaging or biopsy reports where relevant, a current medication list, previous diagnoses and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translation where needed.
