Fibroid Uterus Treatment in Chennai

Each woman’s health story is unique — and if you’re dealing with fibroids, I want you to know that you’re not alone, and there are clear, compassionate solutions ahead. I’m Dr. V Preethi, General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Hayagriva Hospital, Chennai. My mission is to provide women with accurate information, timely intervention, and personalized treatment options for fibroids — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or have been silently coping with symptoms for years, I’m here to help. My approach blends surgical expertise with thoughtful care — ensuring that every decision we make is rooted in both medical precision and your personal comfort. From diagnosis to recovery, my goal is to offer not just a treatment, but a path back to well-being — one step at a time, and always with your peace of mind in focus.

What are Uterine Fibroids?

Fibroids are benign tumors that form within or around the uterus, most commonly during a woman’s childbearing years, often influenced by hormonal changes. Though benign, they can significantly affect quality of life, especially when they grow large or appear in multiples. Fibroids vary in size — from as small as a seed to as large as a melon — and their impact can depend on their number, location, and growth rate. Many women with fibroids may not have symptoms at all, while others may face chronic pain or heavy bleeding that disrupts daily life.

The exact cause of fibroids isn’t fully known, but hormones like estrogen and progesterone seem to play a role in their development. They can grow during pregnancy or with hormone therapy and often shrink after menopause. While fibroids aren’t cancerous, that doesn’t mean they should be ignored — especially when they interfere with your health, comfort, or fertility. My role is to help you understand what’s happening inside your body and empower you with the right options based on your specific situation.

Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

The symptoms caused by fibroids can vary widely, from barely noticeable discomfort to significant disruption of daily life. The most commonly reported issue is heavy menstrual bleeding — so heavy, in fact, that it can lead to anemia and fatigue. Women may also experience pelvic pain or pressure, especially if the fibroids press on nearby organs like the bladder or bowel. For some, this means frequent urination, constipation, or even difficulty emptying the bladder completely. Discomfort during intercourse is another possible symptom, as is an enlarged abdomen that mimics pregnancy.

Beyond the physical signs, fibroids can also take a toll on emotional health, impacting mood, stress levels, and overall mental well-being.Constant pain or the stress of dealing with unpredictable periods can lead to anxiety, low energy, and frustration. That’s why I take a comprehensive view of treatment — because your comfort, confidence, and peace of mind matter as much as symptom relief. Experiencing any of these symptoms is a signal to seek a thorough medical evaluation without delay.Early diagnosis makes treatment smoother and outcomes more successful.

When is Treatment or Surgery Needed?

Not all fibroids need immediate intervention — but when they start impacting your quality of life, it's time to consider treatment. You may be a candidate for surgery or other interventions if your symptoms are severe, ongoing, or unresponsive to medication. In cases where fibroids are interfering with fertility, causing anemia, or compressing nearby organs, surgical removal may be the most effective way forward.Choosing the right treatment be it medication, myomectomy, or hysterectomy depends on your specific symptoms, age, and your goals for fertility and overall health.

Surgical options today are far more advanced than they once were. Minimally invasive approaches like laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery offer faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. I believe in empowering you with clear, evidence-based advice and tailoring your care to what feels right for you physically, emotionally, and personally. The decision to treat is never rushed, and we’ll navigate each step together, ensuring you feel supported and informed throughout.

• Lack of response to non-surgical treatments

My Approach to Fibroid Uterus Treatment

My treatment philosophy is rooted in understanding — because behind every diagnosis is a woman with her own story, priorities, and goals. When you come to me with fibroids, I take time to truly listen. I ask about your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle — because I don’t just treat fibroids; I care for the person living with them. Once we’ve evaluated your condition through scans or tests, I’ll explain your treatment options clearly and answer every question you may have.

Whenever possible, I recommend minimally invasive solutions. Laparoscopic myomectomy or hysterectomy allows you to recover faster with fewer complications. If non-surgical options are suitable, such as hormonal therapy or uterine artery embolization, we’ll explore those too. My priority is your well-being — not just physically, but emotionally. With a calm, personalized approach, you’ll feel empowered to make informed choices, and supported from your first visit to full recovery.

• Listening and understanding your full health story
• Clear explanation of all treatment options
• Preference for minimally invasive techniques
• Collaborative, supportive decision-making
• Respect for your reproductive goals and lifestyle
