Frequently Asked Questions
About Uterine Fibroids
Many fibroids are discovered incidentally during a pelvic exam or ultrasound. Symptoms that may indicate fibroids include heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic fullness or pressure, frequent urination, lower back pain, and pain during intercourse.
Fibroids themselves are benign and do not increase cancer risk. The rare cancerous uterine tumor (uterine sarcoma) is a separate condition that your provider can help evaluate if there are concerning features on imaging.
Fibroids can affect fertility and pregnancy in some cases, depending on their size, number, and location. Your Pristine Ob-Gyn provider will assess your specific situation and discuss implications for conception and pregnancy.
Myomectomy removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus, making it the preferred option for women who wish to maintain fertility. Hysterectomy removes the uterus entirely and is the only permanent fibroid cure — it is considered for women with severe symptoms who have completed their families.
