Fibroids
Ultrasound-led evaluation with observation, medication or fertility-conscious surgery according to symptoms, size and location.
Gynaecological concerns deserve attentive, private and evidence-based care. Evaluation is tailored to symptoms, age, health history and future plans.
Make your fibroid scan useful at the appointment
Bring the written scan report and images if available, a record of bleeding and any blood-test results. Explain whether preserving the uterus or planning a future pregnancy matters to you. Ask what observation, medical treatment or a procedure would aim to achieve, what alternatives exist, and how each choice affects follow-up.

Understanding Fibroids
What does Fibroids care involve?
Ultrasound-led evaluation with observation, medication or fertility-conscious surgery according to symptoms, size and location. Recommendations are made after reviewing symptoms, medical history, investigations and personal priorities.
When should I arrange a consultation?
Arrange a consultation when symptoms are persistent, worsening, affecting daily life or causing concern. Urgent or severe symptoms require prompt assessment through an appropriate emergency service.
Does every uterine fibroid need surgery?
No. Symptoms and the size, number and position of fibroids help guide management. Myomectomy removes fibroids; hysterectomy removes the womb. These are different operations with different implications.
