What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas and "roids", are benign tumors that form in the muscular wall of the uterus. Their size can range from microscopic to several centimeters, and some women may have a single fibroid while others develop multiple.

Fibroids are classified by their location within the uterus:

  • Intramural fibroids - Grow within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type.
  • Submucosal fibroids - Develop just beneath the uterine lining and can distort the shape of the cavity, often contributing to heavy menstrual bleeding.
  • Subserosal fibroids - Project outward from the uterus and can press on nearby pelvic organs, leading to bloating or urinary urgency.

While the exact cause is not always clear, factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, and estrogen sensitivity can contribute to fibroid growth. Uterine Fibroid treatment can begin with Dr. Bahlani.

Compassionate and Specialized Fibroid Care

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop within or around the uterus and can cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, bloating, or urinary frequency. While fibroids are common, treatment should never be one-size-fits-all, especially when pelvic floor health and function are involved.

At Pelvic Pain Doc, Dr. Bahlani provides a holistic, minimally invasive approach to uterine fibroid management in New York, that prioritizes comfort, recovery, and long-term pelvic stability. Her treatment philosophy centers on preserving the integrity of surrounding musculature and preventing the compensatory strain that can lead to ongoing pain or dysfunction.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Dr. Bahlani focuses on minimally invasive treatments designed to relieve pelvic floor tension, reduce pressure, and improve quality of life without the need for major surgery.

One such advanced approach includes Botox injections to the pelvic floor, which help relax overactive muscles, decrease pelvic pain, and alleviate symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction.

These techniques offer effective symptom relief with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily routines more comfortably and confidently.

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroid symptoms can vary based on their size and location, but common signs include:

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
  • Pelvic pain or pressure
  • Abdominal bloating or fullness
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Urinary frequency or difficulty emptying the bladder
  • Constipation or bowel pressure
  • Lower back pain

Not every patient with fibroids experiences symptoms, but for those who do, the impact on comfort, mobility, and reproductive health can be significant.

Patient Testimonial

Dr. Bahlani is incredible!

After dealing with chronic pain for months and going to countless specialists to no avail, Dr. Bahlani was the first doctor to take my pain seriously and actually address the root cause. She's brilliant, compassionate, and kind. She completely changed my life! I would give her and her team 10 stars if I could! (I would also recommend her book too!)

Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids

At Pelvic Pain Doc, treatment is customized to the individual taking into account your symptoms, fertility goals, medical history, and lifestyle. Options may include:

Medication Management

For patients with mild to moderate symptoms, hormone-regulating medications or non-hormonal options may help reduce bleeding, shrink fibroids, and manage discomfort.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Following treatment, pelvic floor therapy may be recommended to restore optimal muscle coordination, relieve tension, and prevent compensatory pain patterns.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Dr. Bahlani prioritizes minimally invasive interventions such as:

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Removes submucosal fibroids using a small camera inserted through the cervix with no external incisions required.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Targets intramural or subserosal fibroids through tiny incisions in the abdomen, allowing for faster recovery and less disruption to surrounding tissue.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE): Blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink while preserving the uterus.

Holistic Management

Nutritional guidance, stress reduction, and integrative wellness strategies can complement medical treatment, helping patients maintain hormonal balance and pelvic comfort long term.
