What are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are growths that develop from the cells that make up the muscle of the uterus. Fibroids can vary in size from only one centimeter to as large as 14 centimeters. Symptoms may range from minimal discomfort during your menstrual cycle to pain with irregular, heavy bleeding. At Women’s Excellence in Robotic Surgery, our specialists establish a diagnosis based on a thorough history, a comprehensive physical, and pelvic examination and an ultrasound. Fibroids that don’t cause symptoms, are small, or occur in women nearing menopause don’t require treatment.
