Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus, and can cause multiple symptoms including heavy bleeding with periods, pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, and pain with intercourse, bowel movements and urination. They vary in size and usually grow over time until menopause. They also vary in location around the uterus, including within or outside the walls of the uterus or even at the cervix level.
Traditionally, and in previous generations, fibroid care included surgical removal by large abdominal incisions. Nowadays, many newer and less invasive options are available. Our doctors at Michigan Women’s Care can offer you all of the newest options in a partnership with you and based on your specific life situation. Those options include:
