Uterine Fibroid Treatments
Comprehensive Fibroid Treatment at Shalom Clinic
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop from the muscle tissue of the uterus. They are common and often asymptomatic, but in some cases, they can cause significant symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and reproductive issues. At Shalom Clinic, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options tailored to each patient's needs to effectively manage fibroids and improve their quality of life.
Understanding Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, can vary in size, number, and location within the uterus. They can be classified into several types:
Intramural Fibroids: Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
Submucosal Fibroids: Protrude into the uterine cavity. Subserosal Fibroids: Project to the outside of the uterus.
Pedunculated Fibroids: Attached to the uterine wall by a stalk.
While many women with fibroids experience no symptoms, others may have:
Heavy and prolonged menstrual periods
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation
Backache or leg pains
Reproductive issues, including infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss
Diagnosis at Shalom Clinic
At Shalom Clinic, our dedicated team of specialists utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately detect and evaluate uterine fibroids. Our diagnostic approach includes:
1. Pelvic Examination: A routine pelvic exam can sometimes detect fibroids if the uterus is enlarged.
2. Ultrasound: Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds provide images of the uterus to identify fibroids.
3. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Offers detailed images to determine the size and location of fibroids.
4. Hysterosonography: Also known as saline infusion sonography, this technique involves injecting saline into the uterine cavity to provide clear ultrasound images.
5. Hysterosalpingography: X-ray procedure that involves injecting a dye to highlight the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes.
6. Hysteroscopy: A small telescope (hysteroscope) is inserted through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus.
Treatment Options at Shalom Clinic
At Shalom Clinic, we offer a range of treatment options for uterine fibroids, tailored to each patient's specific condition and preferences. Our treatment strategies include:
Medication
Medications can help manage symptoms and may shrink fibroids, though they do not eliminate them entirely.
1. Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Agonists: These drugs can shrink fibroids by inducing a temporary menopause-like state.
2. Progestin-Releasing Intrauterine Device (IUD): Helps relieve heavy bleeding caused by fibroids.
3. Tranexamic Acid: A non-hormonal medication that reduces heavy menstrual bleeding.
4. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Help alleviate pain associated with fibroids.
5. Hormonal Contraceptives: Can help regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Shalom Clinic is renowned for its minimally invasive techniques, ensuring quicker recovery times and fewer complications.
1. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
2. Myolysis: Involves using electric current, laser, or cryotherapy to shrink fibroids.
3. Laparoscopic or Robotic Myomectomy: Removal of fibroids through small abdominal incisions using a camera and instruments.
4. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Removal of fibroids using a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina and cervix.
Surgical Procedures
For more severe cases, surgery might be the most effective option.
1. Abdominal Myomectomy: A more invasive procedure involving a larger incision to remove fibroids.
2. Hysterectomy: Complete removal of the uterus, providing a definitive solution to fibroids.

1. Regular Follow-Up Visits: Monitoring progress and managing any potential complications.
2. Pain Management: Providing effective pain relief strategies to enhance recovery.
3. Nutritional Counseling: Offering dietary advice to support overall health and recovery.
4. Physical Therapy: Recommending exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve mobility.
