Diagnosis and Evaluation of Uterine Fibroids:
Here’s what you should know:
At Nurturing Petals, Andheri East, our diagnostic process focuses on accuracy, comfort, and clear guidance.
- Pelvic Examination: A detailed clinical assessment by our gynaecologist helps identify the size and position of the uterus and detect possible fibroid growth.
- Ultrasound and MRI Scans: Advanced imaging techniques provide precise information about the size, number, and location of fibroids, helping plan the most effective treatment.
- Blood Tests: These are used to check for anaemia caused by heavy bleeding and to evaluate overall hormonal balance.
Early and accurate diagnosis allows our specialists to create a personalised treatment plan that preserves fertility and improves quality of life.
Treatment and Management Options for Fibroids:
Our approach at Nurturing Petals Hospital in Andheri East is to treat fibroids effectively while maintaining reproductive health and minimising discomfort.
- Medication: Hormonal therapy and non-hormonal medications help control bleeding, relieve pain, and reduce fibroid size.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Procedures such as laparoscopic or hysteroscopic myomectomy remove fibroids through tiny incisions, ensuring faster recovery and minimal scarring.

FAQs:
Do all fibroids require surgery?
Not every woman with fibroids needs surgery. Many fibroids are small, harmless, and can be safely managed through medication, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring. At Nurturing Petals, Andheri East, our gynaecologists take time to understand your symptoms and recommend surgery only when essential, always prioritising comfort, safety, and fertility preservation.
Can fibroids affect pregnancy?
Fibroids can sometimes make it harder to conceive or may lead to pregnancy-related complications such as pain, preterm labour, or miscarriage. However, with timely diagnosis and personalised treatment, most women go on to have healthy pregnancies. We focus on fertility-friendly management to help you achieve your motherhood goals with confidence.
Are fibroids cancerous?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) growths, and the risk of them becoming cancerous is extremely rare. Still, they can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure symptoms if left untreated. Our team ensures accurate evaluation, compassionate counselling, and safe treatment to bring you lasting relief and peace of mind.
Is it possible to prevent uterine fibroids?
While it is not possible to prevent uterine fibroids with absolute certainty, the risk of developing them can be significantly reduced through a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and regular physical activity can help lower your risk of developing fibroids.
What is the main cause of uterine fibroids?
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not fully understood, but they are strongly linked to hormonal imbalance, especially high levels of oestrogen and progesterone. Genetics, obesity, and lifestyle factors can also increase the risk. Our gynaecologists identify the root cause through detailed evaluation to create a treatment plan tailored to each woman’s needs.
What is the best treatment for fibroids?
The best treatment depends on the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids, as well as fertility goals. Treatment options range from medications that control bleeding and shrink fibroids to minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery.
