Fibroid, Endometriosis and Cysts

Fibroid, Endometriosis and Cysts

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths arising from the muscle layer of the uterus. They are commonly seen in women, especially between 30 and 45 years of age, and many women don’t even know they have them.

Some of the most common complaints from women suffering from fibroids are heavy periods - soaking pads every 1–2 hours or bleeding lasting more than a week. Some women feel pelvic heaviness, bloating, frequent urination, backache, or pain during intercourse. A few also seek medical help as they are trying to conceive and are facing difficulty.

Usually, a pelvic examination is used to diagnose a fibroid. It includes a transvaginal ultrasound, which confirms the size, number, and location. This is the first step towards fibroid cyst treatment in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals.

Treatment depends on symptoms, size, age, and whether pregnancy is planned.

  • If small and symptom-free, we simply monitor.
  • For heavy bleeding, hormonal medicines or medications to reduce blood loss help.
  • If symptoms are significant, procedures such as myomectomy (removal of only fibroids) or hysterectomy may be advised.

Highly experienced and trained gynaecologists in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals provide personalized care for thyroid.

Endometriosis is a chronic, often painful, gynecological condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, typically on pelvic organs like the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Severe pain before and during periods is a key sign. Some experience pain during intercourse, painful bowel movements during periods, or infertility.

Ultrasound may detect ovarian endometriotic cysts, but laparoscopy remains the gold standard for confirmation.

Gynaecologists usually begin with pain relief and hormonal therapy to suppress disease activity. In women with severe pain or infertility, laparoscopic surgery helps remove deposits and improve fertility chances. Long-term follow-up is important because recurrence can happen. UMC Hospitals is renowned for providing the best endometriosis treatment in Navi Mumbai.

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in or on the ovary. Many are functional, meaning they form during the menstrual cycle and disappear on their own.

  • What symptoms do cysts cause?
    Small cysts usually cause no symptoms. Larger ones may cause lower abdominal pain, bloating, or sudden sharp pain if they rupture or twist.
  • How is it diagnosed?
    A pelvic ultrasound typically shows a fluid-filled sac. The appearance helps us differentiate simple from complex cysts.
  • How are cysts treated?
    Most simple cysts are observed for 1–3 cycles. Hormonal pills may be given in selected cases. Surgery, usually a laparoscopic cystectomy, is needed if the cyst is large, persistent, painful, or suspicious.

At UMC Hospitals, we provide prompt diagnosis and care for uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cyst treatment in Navi Mumbai. Early evaluation, regular follow-up, and understanding your symptoms make all the difference. If you are experiencing heavy bleeding, severe period pain, persistent pelvic discomfort, or difficulty conceiving, do not ignore it.
