Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are one of the most common gynecological conditions affecting women of reproductive age. Although fibroids are usually benign, they can sometimes cause significant discomfort, heavy bleeding, fertility problems, or pelvic pain.

At our gynecology and radiology clinic in Islamabad, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids using advanced imaging and minimally invasive procedures.

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. They vary in size from tiny nodules to large growths that can enlarge the uterus.

Fibroids may occur:

Inside the uterine wall (intramural fibroids)
Inside the uterine cavity (submucosal fibroids)
On the outer wall of the uterus (subserosal fibroids)

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not fully understood, but several factors play a role:

Hormonal imbalance – Estrogen and progesterone stimulate fibroid growth.
Genetics – Family history increases the risk.
Obesity – Higher body weight is linked with fibroid development.
Early menstruation – Starting periods at a younger age increases chances.
Pregnancy – May trigger fibroid growth due to hormonal changes.

Common Symptoms of Fibroids

Some women may not experience symptoms, while others may have:

Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation
Backache or leg pain
Difficulty conceiving (infertility)

Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are diagnosed through:

Ultrasound – First-line imaging test to detect fibroids.
MRI scan – Provides detailed imaging for treatment planning.
Pelvic exam – Helps identify enlarged uterus or masses.
Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy – Invasive tests when further evaluation is required.
