Title: Understanding Uterine Fibroids – When Should You See a Doctor?
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that often go unnoticed until symptoms disrupt daily life.
Dr. Sonal Kale, an expert gynecologist in Nashik, explains that fibroids can vary in size and location, which influences the severity of symptoms.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
You should consult a gynecologist if you experience:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or discomfort
- Frequent urination
- Pain during intercourse
Ignoring these symptoms may lead to anemia, severe pain, or fertility issues.
Treatment Options Available with Dr. Sonal Kale
Fibroid treatment depends on size, location, and symptoms. Options include:
- Medications to manage bleeding and pain
- Minimally invasive surgeries such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy
- Laparoscopic myomectomy to remove fibroids while preserving fertility
- Hysterectomy for large or recurrent fibroids
Dr. Kale encourages women to seek early evaluation to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
