How are fibroids diagnosed?
Fibroids are typically identified during a pelvic examination, where a healthcare provider may feel irregularities in the uterus’s shape. To confirm the presence of fibroids and assess their size and location, imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI are commonly used. These tools provide detailed images, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

What are the common types of fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are classified based on their location within the uterus:

Intramural Fibroids: Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.​

Submucosal Fibroids: Protrude into the uterine cavity.

Subserosal Fibroids: Extend to the outside of the uterus.​

Each type can affect uterine function differently and may influence symptom severity and treatment options.

Can fibroids lead to cancer?

Fibroids are almost always benign and not associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer. The occurrence of cancerous fibroids, known as leiomyosarcomas, is exceedingly rare, estimated at about 0.25% (1 in 400) of women undergoing surgery for fibroids.

Does UFE treatment affect fertility?

Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is generally considered safe for fertility. Many women have been able to conceive after the procedure. However, every patient is unique, and the effects of UFE on fertility can vary depending on individual circumstances.

What are the risks of fibroid removal surgery?
Surgical removal of fibroids, such as through myomectomy, carries potential risks including infection, bleeding, and the formation of scar tissue (adhesions). Additionally, certain surgical techniques, like morcellation, may inadvertently spread undiagnosed cancerous cells, though this is rare. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
