Blogs

Uterine fibroids, benign tumors in the uterus, are a common health concern for many women. At May-Grant OB/GYN in Lancaster, PA, the focus is on providing advanced, individualized care for those dealing with this condition. This blog explores the nature of uterine fibroids, their impact, and the comprehensive treatment options available at May-Grant OB/GYN, emphasizing their commitment to personalized and compassionate care.

Understanding Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. They vary in size and can range from undetectable to bulky masses. While fibroids are generally harmless, they can lead to discomfort and complications such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and fertility issues.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Many women with fibroids experience no symptoms. However, when symptoms are present, they may include prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, and difficulty emptying the bladder. At May-Grant OB/GYN, the diagnostic process includes a thorough medical history, pelvic examination, and imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI.

Personalized Treatment Approaches

Treatment for uterine fibroids at May-Grant OB/GYN is tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences. Depending on the size and location of the fibroids, symptoms, and desire for future pregnancy, treatment options may include medication, non-invasive therapies, or surgical interventions such as myomectomy or hysterectomy.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Options

For those requiring surgery, May-Grant OB/GYN specializes in minimally invasive procedures. These techniques offer several benefits, including less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery times. Advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgeries are among the options provided, ensuring the best outcomes with the least impact on the patient’s daily life.

Medication and Non-Surgical Treatments

For women seeking non-surgical options, May-Grant OB/GYN offers various medications to manage symptoms. These can include hormonal treatments to regulate menstrual bleeding and pain, and medications aimed at shrinking fibroids. Additionally, newer, non-invasive procedures like uterine artery embolization are available.

Fertility Considerations

Uterine fibroids can impact fertility and pregnancy. The team at May-Grant OB/GYN, including their infertility specialists, work closely with patients who wish to conceive, offering treatments that preserve fertility and support healthy pregnancies.

Holistic and Comprehensive Care

Recognizing that uterine fibroids can affect more than physical health, May-Grant OB/GYN offers holistic care that includes mental and emotional support. They understand the stress and anxiety that can accompany a fibroids diagnosis and provide resources and counseling to address these aspects of patient care.
