Uterine Fibroids

Understanding Uterine Fibroids

Uterine Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They are one of the most common reproductive conditions in women and may interfere with fertility, pregnancy, or menstrual health. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, our fertility experts provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to help you regain reproductive balance and improve your chances of conception.

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, also called leiomyomas or myomas, are solid muscle tissue growths that form inside the uterine wall or around it. Their size can range from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Most fibroids are benign and may not cause symptoms, but large or multiple fibroids can lead to infertility or pregnancy complications.

Types of Uterine Fibroids

  • Intramural Fibroids: Grow within the wall of the uterus (most common type).
  • Submucosal Fibroids: Grow into the uterine cavity and may cause heavy bleeding and infertility.
  • Subserosal Fibroids: Grow on the outer wall of the uterus and may press against other organs.
  • Pedunculated Fibroids: Grow on stalk-like structures extending from the uterus.

Common Symptoms of Fibroids

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
  • Pelvic pressure or lower abdominal pain
  • Frequent urination or constipation (if large fibroids press on organs)
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Difficulty conceiving or recurrent miscarriages
  • Abdominal bloating or visible swelling

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Hormonal imbalance (high estrogen and progesterone levels)
  • Genetic predisposition or family history of fibroids
  • Obesity or poor lifestyle habits
  • Vitamin D deficiency
  • Early onset of menstruation or delayed menopause

How Fibroids Affect Fertility

Fibroids can interfere with pregnancy in several ways — by blocking the fallopian tubes, changing the shape of the uterus, or preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. Submucosal fibroids are most strongly associated with infertility and miscarriage risks.

Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

  • Pelvic Ultrasound: Detects fibroids and evaluates their size and location.
  • Hysteroscopy: A thin camera checks inside the uterus for submucosal fibroids.
  • Sonohysterography: Uses saline ultrasound to show uterine cavity details.
  • MRI Scan: Recommended for complex or multiple fibroid cases.

Treatment Options at Phular IVF Hospital

  • Medication Therapy: Hormone-regulating drugs to shrink fibroids and manage symptoms.
  • Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Minimally invasive removal of fibroids from inside the uterus.
  • Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Keyhole surgery to remove fibroids while preserving fertility.
  • Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Blocks blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
  • IVF Treatment: For women who cannot conceive naturally even after fibroid management.
