LOCATIONS FOR FIBROIDS IN THE UTERUS
Doctor Steven R. Goldstein is a top Gynecologist for Fibroids in NYC. Uterine Fibroids are found in various locations in the uterus. These uterine fibroids are not cancerous and will not become so. They are not malignant. However, they can be quite painful or bleed depending on where they are located in the uterus. For example, very small fibroids can be painful and bleed a lot if they impinge on the uterine lining.
Dr Goldstein, a Gynecologist for Fibroids in NYC , uses painless Transvaginal Ultrasounds to find the reason for any pain or abnormal bleeding. Using Transvaginal Ultrasounds (water sonograms), Dr Goldstein is able to see the uterus, uterine lining, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix and pelvic area. He personally performs all transvaginal ultrasounds in his office in a few minutes and can show the patient on the screen or the clear, high resolution images, especially if the Doppler color flow is used.
So what can you do about Fibroids? Fibroids are so common and variable in size and location that clinical management and recommendations depend on many variables such as age, whether there are plans to get
pregnant in the future, the bleeding pattern, whether the patient is premenopausal or post menopausal.
Therapies are for uterine fibroids include goadotropin-releasing hormone agonists to help shrink the fibroids etc. One procedure that can be done is Hysteroscopic myomectomy. This is when a hysteroscope and small surgical instruments are used to remove the fibroids.
A hysteroscope is a rigid tube with a light that has an operative element that can remove fibroid tissue. A hysteroscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where a hysteroscope is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix by a surgeon, so no incisions are necessary. There is general anesthesia or some sedation, and hospitalization is generally not necessary.
