What are fibroids?
Fibroids are tumors of all different sizes that can develop anywhere in the uterus. The size and location of the uterine fibroid can often cause different problems for each patient. Those that develop on the inside uterine lining are more likely than others to result in telltale symptoms, though those on the wall or the outside of the uterus can be problematic as well.
How are uterine fibroids treated?
Small fibroids that are asymptomatic can often be left alone with no concerns. However, when women are experiencing problems due to these fibroids, they may want to speak to a doctor about having them removed. Removal of the fibroids can be achieved with several different methods. These include:
- Uterine artery embolization
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Myomectomies
- Endometrial ablation
Which treatment is right for me?
There are many factors that contribute to the treatment option recommended to a patient by the team at Columbus Women’s Care. With a thorough evaluation and a proper diagnosis, women can speak to our doctors about their concerns and learn more about the treatments that may be performed. Patients who have uterine fibroids but are not experiencing any issues can often leave them alone unless problems progress later on.
