You have options for uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain and more
When these symptoms get in the way of your life, you have many options beyond a hysterectomy.
Whether you’re concerned about fertility or want to preserve sexual function, our team of multiple women's health specialists in Plano is dedicated to comprehensively treating your fibroids. We provide less-invasive procedures that help you get back to better sooner.
Treatment options include:
- Non-surgical treatment—including hormonal and non-hormonal options
- Transcervical fibroid ablation—treats fibroids from inside the uterus using radiofrequency heat instead of incisions
- Endometrial ablation—destroys the lining of the uterus to help stop heavy bleeding
- Uterine fibroid embolization—an interventional radiology procedure that treats all your fibroids at once by blocking blood flow, which causes them to shrink
- Myomectomy—surgically removes some fibroids and is commonly used in women who want to preserve fertility
- Hysterectomy—removes the uterus through traditional and minimally invasive surgical options
