Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Pune

Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They are extremely common — affecting up to 70% of women by age 50. While many fibroids cause no symptoms, others can lead to significant problems.

Dr. Ankita Ingale is a fibroid treatment specialist in **Hadapsar and Keshav Nagar, Pune**, offering both medical and advanced surgical management options.

• **Types of fibroids by location:**
• Intramural: Within the uterine wall (most common)
• Subserosal: On the outer surface of the uterus
• Submucosal: Protruding into the uterine cavity
• Pedunculated: Attached to the uterus by a stalk

**Symptoms may include:** - Heavy menstrual bleeding with clots - Pelvic pain and pressure - Frequent urination or constipation - Lower back pain - Infertility or recurrent miscarriages - Enlarged abdomen

Many women in **Magarpatta, Kharadi, and Mundhwa** seek Dr. Ankita's expertise for fibroid-related symptoms.

Fibroids are diagnosed through:

• Pelvic ultrasound — first-line imaging to identify fibroids
• Sonohysterography — saline infusion for detailed uterine cavity views
• MRI — for precise mapping before surgery
• Hysteroscopy — direct visualization of submucosal fibroids

Dr. Ankita uses advanced imaging to determine the exact size, number, and location of fibroids to plan optimal treatment.

**Medical Management:** - Hormonal therapy to shrink fibroids or reduce symptoms - Tranexamic acid for heavy bleeding - Iron supplements for anemia management

• **Surgical Options:**
• Hysteroscopic myomectomy: Removal of submucosal fibroids through the cervix — no incisions needed
• Laparoscopic myomectomy: Minimally invasive surgery for larger fibroids with small incisions
• Open myomectomy: For very large or numerous fibroids
• Hysterectomy: Complete uterus removal when family is complete

Dr. Ankita prioritizes **uterus-preserving surgery** for women who wish to retain fertility.
