You Are Not Alone

What Are Uterine Fibroids and Why Timely Care Matters?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that form in or around the uterus, often during a woman’s childbearing years. While not always harmful, fibroids can cause uncomfortable symptoms that disrupt daily life — from heavy menstrual bleeding to chronic pelvic pain. That’s why early evaluation by a skilled uterine fibroid doctor in Katy is essential.

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
  • Pelvic pressure or bloating
  • Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Lower back pain or leg discomfort
  • Difficulty getting pregnant

    Every woman’s experience with fibroids is different. Some may have no symptoms, while others may face severe discomfort. Our team takes a patient-first approach to diagnosing and managing fibroids, offering a range of solutions based on your unique needs and goals.

    How Uterine Fibroids Are Diagnosed

    Fibroids are often first suspected during a pelvic exam. A pelvic ultrasound confirms their size, number and location, and an MRI is occasionally used for treatment planning. Blood tests can check for anemia caused by heavy bleeding. Location matters: fibroids inside the uterine cavity (submucosal) are most likely to cause heavy bleeding, while large fibroids on the outside of the uterus are more likely to cause pressure, frequent urination or constipation.

    Fibroid Treatment Options

    Not every fibroid needs treatment. The right approach depends on your symptoms, the size and location of the fibroids, your age, and whether you want to preserve fertility. Options may include:

    • Monitoring for small fibroids that cause no symptoms
    • Medications, including non-hormonal options that reduce bleeding, hormonal birth control, a hormonal IUD, or medications that temporarily shrink fibroids
    • Minimally invasive procedures, such as hysteroscopic removal of fibroids inside the uterine cavity, or uterine artery embolization performed by an interventional radiologist
    • Myomectomy, which removes fibroids while keeping the uterus
    • Hysterectomy, the only permanent cure, for women who have finished childbearing

    Uterine Fibroid FAQs

    Are fibroids cancer?
    No. Fibroids are benign growths. Cancerous changes are very rare, but a uterine mass that grows after menopause should always be evaluated.

    Do fibroids go away after menopause?
    Fibroids usually shrink after menopause as estrogen levels fall, which is why women close to menopause may choose to manage symptoms rather than have surgery.

    Can fibroids cause frequent urination?
    Yes. Fibroids that press on the bladder can cause urgency, frequency and difficulty emptying the bladder, which is one reason a urogynecologist is well suited to evaluate them.

    Can fibroids affect fertility?
    Fibroids that distort the uterine cavity can make it harder to conceive or carry a pregnancy, so treatment is tailored for women who want to become pregnant.
