"It is very common that a woman comes to us with a songraphy report which shows presence of a fibroid. We all must understand that fibroids primarily speaking means that there is a small bag inside the uterus. These fibroids are usually not malignant and just because there is a fibroid, it doesn’t mean that it requires a treatment. So when do you treat a fibroid or when a woman should actually undergo a treatment for fibroid? The answer is that one will like to treat the fibroid only if they are causing some problem. So what problem can occur because of fibroids. Usually when we have fibroids, we have menstrual irregularities, means you tend to have excessive amount of bleeding during periods or periods may come too frequently or they can become too painful if there is as problem with you period and then you have a fibroids, then probably you need a treatment for fibroids. Similarly a large fibroid can interfere with your bowel function, can interfere with your urinary function. They can cause a lot of weight, a sense of heaviness in your lower abdomen. So if you are having these type of problems, then probably fibroid needs to be treated. If the fibroid is interfering with you becoming pregnant, then again you require to treat the fibroid. Most often people are under the impression that fibroids automatically means surgery but that is not necessary. There are many non surgical treatments for fibroid and one can do this treatment for fibroid so that the problem can be taken care. In today’s days treatment of fibroid has become, much easier. The surgeries has also become very very easy. Today we are able to do the surgeries laparoscopically, that is the keyhole surgery. The recovery is very fast and we are able to send the people home only after a day or two after the surgery. Although even if the surgery has become fantastic and it is very good to undergo one, one should undergo surgery only if it is needed and not otherwise just because fibroid is seen in the report of sonography"
