Uterine fibroids, noncancerous growths in the uterus, are a common concern for many women, particularly those aged 30 to 50. These growths can vary significantly in size, sometimes causing symptoms that interfere with daily life and reproductive health. Dr. Aditi Godbole, a leading gynecologist in Thane, offers specialized uterine fibroid treatment in Thane to address these issues effectively.

Understanding Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids develop due to factors like hormonal imbalances, genetics, and lifestyle choices. They can be classified into three main types:

1. Intramural Fibroids: The most common type, these develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
2. Subserosal Fibroids: These grow on the outer surface of the uterus and can extend into the pelvic cavity.
3. Submucosal Fibroids: Located just beneath the uterine lining, these fibroids can cause significant menstrual issues.

Symptoms and Complications

While some women with fibroids experience no symptoms, others may face:

• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty emptying the bladder
• Constipation
• Backache or leg pains

In severe cases, fibroids can lead to infertility or complications during pregnancy.
