Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Delhi

Expert Uterine Fibroid Treatment by Dr. Anita Gupta – Leading Gynecologist in Delhi

Dr. Anita Gupta, one of the best gynecologists in Delhi, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths that develop in or around a woman’s uterus. These benign tumors are most common in women between 30 to 45 years of age and can range in size from a few millimeters to as large as a melon. While many women experience no symptoms, others may suffer from heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or fertility issues.

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids (also called leiomyomas) are muscular tumors that can grow:

  • Inside the uterus wall (intramural)
  • On the outer surface (subserosal)
  • Under the inner lining (submucosal)
  • On a stalk (pedunculated fibroids)

Some fibroids are small and don’t require treatment. However, larger fibroids—especially those causing discomfort—may need medical or surgical management.

How Common Are Fibroids?

  • Affect at least 20% of women during their reproductive years
  • Overweight or obese women are at higher risk
  • Often detected during routine gynecological exams or ultrasounds

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consult Dr. Anita Gupta for an expert evaluation:

  • Heavy or prolonged periods
  • Anemia due to excessive bleeding
  • Pelvic pain or cramping
  • Frequent urination or urinary retention
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Swelling or bloating in the lower abdomen
  • Fertility issues or repeated miscarriages
  • Pregnancy complications

Sometimes, fibroids can degenerate and cause sudden pain and fever, requiring immediate attention.

Hormones & Fibroid Growth

Fibroids are hormone-dependent and grow when estrogen and progesterone levels are high, such as during pregnancy. They tend to shrink after menopause when hormone levels drop.

Treatment Options at Dr. Anita Gupta’s Clinic

Dr. Anita Gupta provides personalized treatment plans depending on your age, symptoms, size and location of fibroids, and whether you wish to have children in the future.

  1. Watchful Waiting
    If fibroids are small and symptom-free, regular monitoring is often sufficient.
  2. Myomectomy
    This is a uterus-sparing surgery to remove fibroids and is ideal for women planning future pregnancies.
  3. Hysterectomy: For women over 40 or those who’ve completed their family, hysterectomy may be recommended. This surgery removes the uterus and can be done through:
    1. Laparoscopic technique (minimally invasive)
    2. Traditional open surgery
  4. Non-Surgical Approaches
    1. Hormonal therapy to shrink fibroids
    2. Pain management with NSAIDs
    3. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) to block fibroid blood supply
