How are ovarian fibroids treated?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The treatment plan for fibroids will depend on how the symptoms are affecting your daily life, and your body's ability to function normally, or whether you plan to have children. Your gynaecologist may adopt a watch-and-wait approach to see if medication can relieve your symptoms.If you are planning to conceive, medication may be prescribed to help shrink the fibroids or a procedure known as myomectomy may be recommended to remove them.

Understanding Ovarian Fibroids: Ovarian fibroids, often confused with uterine fibroids, are non-cancerous growths on the ovaries. They differ from uterine fibroids, which develop in the uterus.
-
Observation and Monitoring: Watchful waiting is suitable if symptoms are mild or absent. Regular monitoring helps assess any changes in size or symptoms.
-
Medications: Pain relievers like NSAIDs can manage discomfort. Hormonal therapies, such as oral contraceptives, may help regulate symptoms. Common options in India include Medroxyprogesterone and GnRH analogs.
-
Surgical Options: Surgery, such as cystectomy or oophorectomy, is recommended for severe symptoms or large fibroids. These procedures involve removing the fibroid or affected ovary.
-
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Laparoscopic surgery is a less invasive option, offering quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
-
Specialist Consultation: Consulting a gynecologist is crucial for personalized diagnosis and treatment planning.
-
Follow-up Care: Regular follow-up is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

View allI'm really worried about what's happening with me and my husband. We've been having great sex for a year, but lately, it's like he can't fully enter me. It feels like there's something blocking or that I'm just too tight, and he also says it feels different and is uncomfortable, sometimes even painful for him. Could this be related to the fungal infection I had last month? What can we do about this?
