Uterine Fibroid Diagnosis & Evaluation
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that can vary widely in size, number, and location and for many women, they cause no symptoms at all. When symptoms do appear, they can include heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, or discomfort during intimacy. At My ObGyn, our board-certified physicians use
diagnostic ultrasound and a thorough review of your symptoms and history to confirm whether fibroids are the cause. Getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward finding real relief.
Fibroid Management Options
Not every fibroid requires surgery. Depending on the size, location, and severity of your symptoms, your OB/GYN may recommend a range of management strategies from watchful waiting and lifestyle adjustments to hormonal therapies that help regulate bleeding and shrink fibroid growth. Our providers work closely with you to weigh the benefits and tradeoffs of each option, adjusting your plan as your symptoms and goals evolve, including future fertility considerations.
Minimally Invasive Fibroid Surgery
When fibroids significantly affect your quality of life or fertility, surgical treatment may be the best path forward. My ObGyn offers
minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), including laparoscopic and DaVinci robotic-assisted procedures, to remove fibroids with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. In more complex cases, our physicians will discuss all appropriate surgical options with you, always prioritizing your long-term health and personal goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids?
Many women with fibroids have no symptoms at all. When symptoms occur, the most common include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, lower back pain, and pain during intercourse. If you're experiencing any of these, it's worth scheduling an evaluation.
Are uterine fibroids dangerous?
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous and generally not dangerous, but they can significantly affect quality of life and, in some cases, fertility. Your OB/GYN can help determine whether your fibroids need active treatment or ongoing monitoring.
Can I still get pregnant if I have fibroids?
Many women with fibroids conceive and carry healthy pregnancies. However, size and location matter, so it's important to discuss your fertility goals with your provider when building a treatment plan.
Do all fibroids require surgery?
No. Many fibroids can be managed with monitoring or medication. Surgery is typically reserved for cases involving significant symptoms, rapid growth, or fertility concerns.
What is minimally invasive fibroid surgery?
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), including laparoscopic and DaVinci robotic-assisted techniques, allows fibroids to be removed through small incisions, generally resulting in less pain, less scarring, and a quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.
How do I know if I need to see a specialist for fibroids?
If you're experiencing heavy periods, pelvic pain, pressure, or other symptoms that interfere with daily life, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation with an OB/GYN who can determine whether fibroids, or another condition, may be the cause.
