Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers before your visit.
Do all fibroids need treatment?
No. Fibroids that are small and not causing problems may only need observation. Treatment is considered when symptoms affect health, comfort, fertility, or quality of life.
Can fibroids affect pregnancy?
Depending on their size and location, fibroids may affect fertility or pregnancy. Many people with fibroids have healthy pregnancies, so individual assessment matters.
What are the treatment options?
Options may include monitoring, medicines, hormonal therapy, minimally invasive procedures, myomectomy, or hysterectomy. The right choice depends on symptoms and future pregnancy plans.
