Learn about how fibroids can cause fertility problems, their symptoms, and treatment options, including minimally invasive procedures such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (USg HIFU).
Joining us is Dr. Jordi Rodríguez, a gynecologist with over 18 years of experience, practicing in Barcelona, Spain.
Fibroids, or myomas, are benign tumors that develop in the uterus and, although common, can cause complications in conception and pregnancy. Symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and a sensation of pressure in the abdominal area.
There are various treatment options for fibroids, ranging from traditional surgery to less invasive techniques. Surgery or hysterectomy may be recommended for women who have completed their families or do not wish to become mothers.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (USg HIFU) is a non-invasive technique that uses ultrasound waves to destroy fibroids without the need for incisions. This treatment offers faster recovery and is a viable option for women whose fertility has been compromised due to fibroids.
Each patient is different, and personalized medical care should be provided. It is important to consult with a certified doctor who is constantly updating their knowledge in minimally invasive techniques such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
