Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus, and they are a common concern for many women. While some women experience no symptoms, others may face heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure, or fertility challenges. At Premiere OBGYN, with locations in Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Davie, Florida, our team provides evidence-based treatments to help women manage fibroids and live the way they want.

Understanding Fibroids and Their Consequences

Fibroids vary in size, number, and location. They can grow within the uterine wall, on the outer surface of the uterus, or within the uterine cavity. Depending on their characteristics, fibroids may cause:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
  
  
• Pelvic pain or pressure
  
  
• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
  
  
• Lower back pain
  
  
• Complications with fertility or pregnancy
  
  

Even when symptoms are mild, regular monitoring is important to track changes and prevent complications.

Medical and Minimally Invasive Treatment Options

Treatments at Premiere OBGYN provide symptom relief while preserving reproductive health whenever possible. Options at our Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Davie, Florida, offices include:

• Medication management: Hormonal therapies can help regulate periods, reduce bleeding, and relieve pain. Non-hormonal medications may also manage symptoms like heavy bleeding.
  
  
• Minimally invasive procedures: Techniques such as uterine artery embolization or MRI-guided ultrasound target fibroids directly, reducing size and symptoms without major surgery.
  
  
• Surgical options: For larger or symptomatic fibroids, procedures such as myomectomy remove fibroids while preserving the uterus. In select cases, hysterectomy may be considered.
  
  

Our providers guide patients through these options, weighing effectiveness, recovery time, and fertility goals.

Monitoring and Ongoing Care

Even after treatment, follow-up care is essential. Regular ultrasounds or pelvic exams allow our team to track fibroid changes and ensure symptoms remain controlled. Women are encouraged to report any new or worsening symptoms promptly so they can receive timely interventions.
