Call Now: 044-4012-4012Fibroid uterus refers to the presence of benign smooth muscle tumors called uterine fibroids or leiomyomas in or around the wall of the uterus. These growths may occur within the uterine wall (intramural), on the outer surface (subserosal), projecting into the uterine cavity (submucosal), or attached by a stalk (pedunculated). Although they are non-cancerous and do not turn into malignancy, they can lead to significant symptoms depending on size, number, and location.
Most women will develop one or more uterine fibroids during their reproductive years, with peak incidence occurring between ages 35-49. Despite being benign, fibroids can significantly impact quality of life, causing symptoms ranging from heavy menstrual bleeding to fertility challenges. In such cases, both surgical and medical treatment of uterine fibroid are considered based on individual needs and clinical presentation.
Understanding fibroid uterus symptoms is crucial for early detection and effective treatment. Our medical team evaluates each patient's unique symptom profile to develop personalized treatment strategies:
| Category | Symptoms |

Yes, depending on the size and location, fibroids can interfere with fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes, distorting the uterine cavity, or affecting implantation. Timely diagnosis and treatment improve chances of conception.
Fibroids are non-cancerous and not life-threatening, but they can cause serious symptoms such as heavy bleeding, anemia, pelvic pain, or infertility. Rare complications can require emergency care, so early treatment is advisable.
Not necessarily. Asymptomatic fibroids or small fibroids that don't interfere with daily life or fertility may be monitored without active treatment. Your gynecologist will determine the best course based on your symptoms and goals.
Yes, fibroids can recur, especially after myomectomy. Regular follow-ups and lifestyle management can help reduce recurrence. Hysterectomy is the only treatment that eliminates the chance of recurrence entirely.
