Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Symptoms and treatment needs vary between patients.
Assessment may include symptom review, pelvic examination, ultrasound and selected blood tests. The clinician selects tests according to symptoms and findings.
Monitoring, medicines, uterine artery embolization, myomectomy or hysterectomy. The choice depends on diagnosis, risks, preferences and overall health.
Recovery varies across medicine and procedures. Your care team will provide personalised instructions and review timing.
Very heavy bleeding, faintness or severe sudden pain needs prompt medical assessment.
