The treatment options for uterine fibroids depend on various factors, including the size, number, and position of the fibroids and your fertility goals. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, we offer a range of treatment options, including medication to manage symptoms and shrink the fibroids, minimally invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolisation or MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery, and surgical removal of the fibroids. Our dedicated team will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to diagnose uterine fibroids accurately. These may include a pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy, or MRI. A pelvic ultrasound can provide detailed images of the uterus and help identify the presence, size, and location of uterine fibroids. Hysteroscopy involves inserting a thin catheter with a camera and a light source into the uterus to visualise any abnormalities. MRI scans can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the fibroids and their impact on fertility.

Uterine fibroids can present with various symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pain or pressure, lower back pain, frequent urination, and difficulty emptying the bladder. Some females may also experience pain during sexual intercourse or have an enlarged abdomen. However, not all women with fibroids experience symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult with our experts at Ferty9 Fertility Centre for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

The exact reason for uterine fibroids is still unidentified, but several factors contribute to their development. Hormonal fluctuations, specifically an excess of estrogen, can promote the growth of fibroids. Genetic factors, family history, and certain lifestyle factors, such as obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, may also increase the risk. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, we aim to identify the underlying causes of uterine fibroids to provide effective treatment modalities tailored to your specific needs.

Uterine fibroids can negatively affect fertility in several ways. Large fibroids can deform the shape of the uterus, making it challenging for a fertilised egg to implant. Fibroids can also obstruct the fallopian tubes or disrupt the normal movement of sperm, hindering fertilisation. Additionally, fibroids can cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, which can lead to anaemia and decrease the chances of conception. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, our team of experts will assess the impact of uterine fibroids on your fertility and develop a personalised treatment plan.

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous outgrowths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can vary in number and size and are common among women of reproductive age. Fibroids are composed of smooth muscle tissue and fibrous connective tissue. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and reproductive issues. While most fibroids do not cause fertility problems, certain factors, such as their location and size, can interfere with conception. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, our experienced reproductive specialists can evaluate the impact of uterine fibroids on fertility and recommend appropriate treatment options.
