Uterine Fibroid Treatments: Expert Care in Jacksonville

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can develop in or around the uterus. While not all fibroids require treatment, some women experience symptoms that significantly impact their quality of life. At Well&You in Jacksonville, we offer advanced, personalized care to help manage and treat uterine fibroids.

Uterine Fibroid Symptoms Requiring Treatment

While many uterine fibroids are asymptomatic, some women may experience:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Constipation
• Back or leg pain
• Fertility challenges

These uterine fibroid symptoms can range in severity, and treatment decisions often depend on their impact on daily life.

Non-Surgical Uterine Fibroid Treatment Options

Medications

Certain medications can help control fibroid symptoms:

• Hormonal treatments: These can regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding.
• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists: Used to shrink fibroids temporarily before surgery.
• Tranexamic acid: Helps reduce heavy bleeding during menstruation.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

This procedure blocks blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.

MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS)

Uses high-frequency sound waves to destroy fibroids while preserving the uterus.

Endometrial Ablation

Removes or destroys the lining of the uterus to reduce heavy bleeding.

Surgical Options

Myomectomy

This procedure removes fibroids while preserving the uterus, ideal for women who wish to maintain fertility.

Hysterectomy

In cases where symptoms are severe and other treatments are not effective, a hysterectomy may be recommended. This involves removing the uterus and is considered a permanent solution.
