Fibroids & Ovarian Cysts Treatment in Andheri
Fibroids and ovarian cysts are common gynecological conditions that can occur during a woman’s reproductive years. While many are harmless and may not cause symptoms, some can lead to pelvic pain, heavy periods, bloating or changes in the menstrual cycle.
Dr. Priti Sonawane provides personalized care for women with fibroids and ovarian cysts in Andheri, helping patients understand their condition and choose appropriate treatment based on their symptoms and health needs.
What Are Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts?
Fibroids are growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are usually non-cancerous and can vary in size and location. Some women have no symptoms, while others may experience heavy periods, pelvic pressure or pain.
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or inside an ovary. Many ovarian cysts are temporary and disappear on their own, but some may require monitoring or treatment.
Because the two conditions are different, proper diagnosis is important before deciding on treatment.
When Should You Consult a Gynecologist?
You may benefit from a gynecological evaluation if you experience:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Painful or irregular periods
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- A feeling of pressure or fullness in the abdomen
- Persistent bloating
- Pain during intercourse
- Frequent urination or difficulty passing stools
- Unexplained changes in your menstrual cycle
- Fertility or conception concerns
Sudden, severe pelvic pain, especially with vomiting, dizziness or fainting, requires prompt medical attention.
How Are Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?
Your doctor will first discuss your symptoms, menstrual history and medical background. A physical examination may be recommended depending on your concerns.
An ultrasound is commonly used to look at the uterus and ovaries and can help identify fibroids or ovarian cysts. Additional tests may be suggested depending on the findings and your symptoms.
The size, location, appearance and symptoms associated with a fibroid or cyst all help determine the next step.
Treatment for Fibroids & Ovarian Cysts
Not every fibroid or ovarian cyst requires immediate treatment. The appropriate approach depends on factors such as your symptoms, age, reproductive plans and the size or characteristics of the growth.
Treatment may include:
- Regular monitoring and follow-up
- Medicines to manage pain or heavy bleeding
- Hormonal treatment in selected cases
- Treatment of an underlying hormonal or gynecological condition
- Minimally invasive or surgical treatment when necessary
For some ovarian cysts, observation with follow-up imaging may be sufficient. Fibroids may also be monitored when they are small and do not cause significant symptoms.
Your gynecologist can explain the options and help you understand when treatment is actually needed.
Benefits of Proper Fibroid & Cyst Care
Timely evaluation can help you:
- Understand the cause of pelvic or menstrual symptoms
- Monitor known fibroids or ovarian cysts
- Manage heavy bleeding and discomfort
- Identify changes that may require further investigation
- Address fertility concerns when relevant
- Avoid unnecessary treatment when monitoring is appropriate
Regular follow-up can be particularly important when a fibroid or cyst has already been identified.
Why Consult a Gynecologist for Fibroids or Cysts?
Finding a fibroid or ovarian cyst on an ultrasound can understandably cause concern. However, the presence of a fibroid or cyst does not automatically mean that surgery is required.
A gynecologist in Andheri can assess your symptoms alongside your examination and test results, explain what the findings mean, and discuss suitable management options.
Professional evaluation also helps distinguish between conditions that can simply be monitored and those that may need treatment.
