Fibroids are noncancerous growths that can affect your comfort, energy levels, and overall quality of life. At Midwest Institute for Non-Surgical Therapy, you receive supportive guidance and modern treatment options that help you better understand your condition and choose the right path forward. As you explore your fibroid treatment journey, you can learn more about related options within our fibroid services.
Fibroids can appear inside, on, or around your uterus and may range from very small to significantly large. While some women experience no symptoms, others may struggle with heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, back pain, urinary frequency, or fertility challenges. Understanding how fibroids behave and what symptoms to watch for can empower you to take control of your reproductive health.
What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, develop from the muscular tissue of the uterus. They are influenced by hormonal changes and often grow during reproductive years. You may have a single fibroid or multiple growths, each affecting your body differently.
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic fullness or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Pain during intimacy
- Lower back or leg discomfort
- Difficulty with fertility or pregnancy
Even if your symptoms are mild, monitoring fibroid growth is important to prevent future complications.
Fibroid Treatment Options
Non-Surgical Options
Many women prefer minimally invasive solutions that allow for symptom relief without major surgery. Uterus-sparing treatments, such as Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), can effectively shrink fibroids and improve your daily comfort.
Fibroid Surgery
In cases where surgery may be the best option, you receive clear explanations, thoughtful guidance, and support to make the choice that aligns with your health goals.
Symptom Management
Your provider may recommend tailored strategies to help reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life as part of your overall care plan.
