Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They vary in size, number, and location. Some women may have a single fibroid, while others may develop multiple fibroids at the same time. Although fibroids are not life-threatening, they can significantly impact a woman\u2019s quality of life if left untreated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Accurate diagnosis is essential to decide the most appropriate treatment approach. Dr Shelly Singh follows a thorough diagnostic process, which may include:
1. Pelvic Examination<\/strong>
A routine gynecological exam may reveal irregularities in the shape or size of the uterus.
2. Ultrasound<\/strong>
A pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound is the most common and reliable method to confirm the presence, size, and location of fibroids.
3. Advanced Imaging (If Required)<\/strong>
In certain cases, MRI or other imaging tests may be recommended for detailed evaluation. Early diagnosis allows for better symptom control and prevents unnecessary complications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Treatment for uterine fibroids depends on factors such as symptom severity, fibroid size, age, and future pregnancy plans. Dr Shelly Singh offers personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient\u2019s needs.
1. Medication Management<\/strong>
For mild symptoms, medications may help control heavy bleeding and pain. These treatments focus on symptom relief rather than removing fibroids.
2. Hormonal Therapy<\/strong>
Hormonal treatments may be advised to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce fibroid-related symptoms.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures<\/strong>
In selected cases, minimally invasive procedures can effectively manage fibroids while
preserving the uterus.
4. Surgical Treatment<\/strong>
Surgery may be recommended for large or multiple fibroids causing severe symptoms.
Surgical options are discussed carefully, keeping fertility and long-term health in mind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While many women with fibroids conceive naturally, certain fibroids can interfere with
fertility or pregnancy. Depending on their location and size, fibroids may affect implantation or increase pregnancy-related risks. Women planning pregnancy should consult a gynecologist early to understand how fibroids may impact reproductive health and explore suitable treatment options.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
