Understanding Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are classified into:
Submucosal Fibroids – develop inside the uterine cavity
Intramural Fibroids – grow within the uterine muscle
Subserosal Fibroids – grow on the outer surface of the uterus
Pedunculated Fibroids – attached to the uterus by a stalk
Understanding the type and location helps us plan the most effective removal method.
Causes of Fibroids
The exact cause is unknown, but common factors include:
Hormonal imbalance – especially estrogen
Genetic predisposition
Obesity
Early onset of menstruation
Pregnancy
Lifestyle factors
At Sparsh Hospital, we perform a detailed evaluation to understand individual risk factors and offer specially tailored treatment plans.
Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Although many fibroids do not cause symptoms, some may lead to:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pressure or pain
Frequent urination
Difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation
Lower back pain
Pain during intercourse
Fatigue due to anemia
Difficulty conceiving
If you are experiencing these symptoms, early evaluation helps in preventing complications.
Fibroid Diagnosis at Sparsh Hospital
We use a combination of history, physical examination, and advanced imaging to accurately diagnose fibroids.
1. Pelvic Ultrasound
A simple, painless first step to identify fibroids and measure their size.
2. Transvaginal Scan (TVS)
Provides a clearer view of the uterus and helps detect even small fibroids.
3. MRI Scan
Used for complex or multiple fibroids to plan minimally invasive surgery.
4. Hysteroscopy
A thin telescope is inserted through the vagina to view fibroids inside the uterine cavity.
5. Blood Tests
To assess anemia, hormonal levels, and overall health before treatment.
Fibroid Removal Treatment Options at Sparsh Hospital
