Uterine Fibroids Treatment | Dr. Shilpa Dhameja - Gynecologist in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi

Understanding Uterine Fibroids and Dr. Shilpa Dhameja's Expertise

Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They are very common, affecting a significant number of women, particularly during their reproductive years. While often asymptomatic, fibroids can cause a range of troublesome symptoms depending on their size, number, and location, impacting a woman's quality of life and fertility.

Dr. Shilpa Dhameja, a highly-regarded Obstetrician-Gynecologist and one of the best gynecologists in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, offers comprehensive and compassionate care for women suffering from uterine fibroids. Her approach focuses on accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans, ranging from conservative management to advanced surgical interventions.

Common Symptoms and Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

The symptoms of uterine fibroids can vary widely. Dr. Shilpa Dhameja expertly diagnoses fibroids and their associated symptoms, which may include:

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Prolonged or excessively heavy periods (menorrhagia) leading to anemia.
• Pelvic Pressure and Pain: A feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen, pelvic pain, or backache.
• Frequent Urination or Difficulty Emptying Bladder: Due to fibroids pressing on the bladder.
• Constipation: If fibroids press on the rectum.
• Leg Pain or Backache: If fibroids press on nerves.
• Pain during Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Depending on the fibroid's location.
• Infertility or Pregnancy Complications: In some cases, fibroids can interfere with conception or lead to issues during pregnancy.

Diagnosis typically involves a pelvic exam, ultrasound, and sometimes further imaging like MRI or hysteroscopy for precise assessment of the fibroids.

Our Advanced Uterine Fibroids Treatment Options with Dr. Shilpa Dhameja

Dr. Shilpa Dhameja offers a comprehensive array of treatment options for uterine fibroids, tailored to each patient's symptoms, fibroid characteristics, age, and desire for future fertility:

• Watchful Waiting and Symptom Management

  For asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic fibroids, a "wait and watch" approach with regular monitoring may be recommended. Symptomatic relief can often be achieved with pain relievers and iron supplements for anemia.

• Medication Management

  Various medications can help manage fibroid symptoms, particularly heavy bleeding and pain. These may include hormonal therapies, GnRH agonists, or new oral medications, prescribed after thorough evaluation.

• Hysteroscopic Myomectomy

  A minimally invasive procedure to remove fibroids protruding into the uterine cavity, often performed without incisions. Ideal for submucosal fibroids, preserving the uterus.

• Laparoscopic Myomectomy

  A minimally invasive surgical option to remove fibroids located on the outside or within the uterine wall, through small incisions. This preserves the uterus, making it suitable for women desiring future fertility.

• Open Abdominal Myomectomy

  Recommended for larger or numerous fibroids, or in complex cases where a laparoscopic approach is not feasible. This traditional surgery allows for complete removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus.

• Hysterectomy

  For women who have completed childbearing or when other treatments are ineffective and symptoms are severe, hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be considered as a definitive solution.

• Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) - Non-Surgical Option

  While not performed by Dr. Dhameja herself, she can counsel and refer patients to interventional radiologists for UAE, a non-surgical procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink.

Dr. Shilpa Dhameja is dedicated to providing personalized care, discussing all available options, and helping you make an informed decision that best suits your health goals and lifestyle. Her expertise ensures effective management and improved quality of life.
