Uterine fibroids are growths of smooth muscle and connective tissue that occur along the uterine wall.

Their size may vary from that of a needle's point to that of a volleyball. Although uterine fibroids are not life-threatening, they can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and a heavy sensation. They can sometimes interfere with pregnancy or cause infertility. The cause of uterine fibroids is not known.

We offer surgical treatment for uterine fibroids.

Until recently, the only option was a hysterectomy. Today, we offer alternative procedures, including laproscopic surgery. For a full description of treatment options, please contact our office!
