Fibroids & bleeding.
Bleeding that is too heavy, too long or too unpredictable drains energy from everyday life — and the causes are often very treatable: fibroids, polyps, hormonal imbalances. Using ultrasound and a careful history we clarify what's going on, and go through every path: from watchful waiting with a plan to medication, IUD and organ-preserving procedures.
Most fibroids never cause symptoms — we only treat what bothers you.
Source: Baird et al., Am J Obstet Gynecol 2003Fibroids are almost always benign. What matters is location, size and symptoms — not the finding alone.
Heavy bleeding often leads to iron deficiency and exhaustion. We measure it — fatigue is a symptom, not fate.

What you should know.
Does a fibroid have to be removed?
No. We treat symptoms, not findings. Many fibroids only need monitoring — and if something should be done, we check organ-preserving paths first.
What options are there besides surgery?
Medication, hormonal IUD, structured monitoring with fixed check-ups. Surgery is one option among several — not an automatism.
When is bleeding “too heavy”?
When you have to plan your life around it: changing protection more often than every two hours, changing at night, large clots, exhaustion. Then please get it checked.
