  • How Can Fibroids Affect Fertility, and When Should You Worry?

    How Can Fibroids Affect Fertility, and When Should You Worry?

    Dr. Roya Rozati

    Many women discover they have fibroids during a routine scan or while trying to conceive. Naturally, the first question they ask is:

    “Are fibroids dangerous?”

    In most cases, fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are very common, especially in women between the ages of 30 and 45. Many women may have fibroids without even knowing it.

    Some fibroids are small and cause no symptoms at all. Others may lead to heavy bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pressure, back pain, frequent urination, or difficulty becoming pregnant.

    Whether fibroids affect fertility depends largely on their size and location.

    Fibroids growing inside the cavity of the uterus can sometimes interfere with implantation of the embryo or increase the risk of miscarriage. Larger fibroids may also distort the shape of the uterus or affect blood flow needed for a healthy pregnancy.

    However, it is important not to panic. Not every fibroid requires surgery or aggressive treatment. Many women with fibroids conceive naturally and have healthy pregnancies.

    Treatment depends on several factors including the woman’s age, symptoms, fertility goals, size of the fibroids, and their location.

    In some cases, simple observation and monitoring may be enough. In other situations, medications or minimally invasive procedures may be advised.

    Today, medical science offers several effective ways to manage fibroids while preserving fertility whenever possible. The key is proper evaluation and individualized care.

    One mistake many women make is ignoring symptoms like heavy bleeding or severe pelvic pain for years. Early diagnosis allows doctors to guide treatment more safely and effectively before complications develop.

    If you have fibroids and are planning pregnancy, do not rely only on internet advice or fear-based information.

    A proper fertility evaluation can help determine whether the fibroids are actually affecting your reproductive health.

    With timely medical expertise, many women with fibroids can successfully protect their fertility and move toward healthy motherhood.

  • Understanding Uterine Fibroids: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options

    A.R.T. Specialist

    Dr. Roya Rozati

    Uterine fibroids are one of the most common health concerns among women, especially between the ages of 30 and 50. Although they are non-cancerous growths, fibroids can sometimes cause significant discomfort and affect a woman’s quality of life if left untreated.

    What Are Fibroids?

    Fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are growths that develop in or on the uterus. They can vary greatly in size—from as small as a seed to as large as a melon. Some women may have only one fibroid, while others may have multiple.

    Common Symptoms of Fibroids

    Not all fibroids cause symptoms, but when they do, they may include:

    • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
    • Pelvic pain or pressure
    • Frequent urination
    • Constipation
    • Pain during intercourse
    • Abdominal swelling

    If you notice persistent symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice early.

    Causes and Risk Factors

    While the exact cause of fibroids is unknown, research suggests that they may be linked to:

    • Hormonal changes (especially estrogen and progesterone)
    • Family history of fibroids
    • Early onset of menstruation
    • Lifestyle factors such as diet and stress

    When to Visit a Doctor

    You should see a gynecologist if:

    • Your periods are unusually heavy or long
    • You experience pelvic pain or bloating
    • You have difficulty conceiving
    • Your symptoms interfere with daily life

    Treatment Options for Fibroids

    Treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of symptoms. Options may include:

    • Medication to manage symptoms and shrink fibroids
    • Minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy
    • Uterine artery embolization to block blood flow to the fibroid
    • Surgical removal (myomectomy or hysterectomy) in severe cases

    With timely diagnosis and proper care, most women can find relief and improve their overall health.
