Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Saket, New Delhi | Dr. Arpana Haritwal

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus, impacting many women during their reproductive years. These growths are often influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and cellular factors. If you're experiencing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure, it’s essential to consult a gynecologist like Dr. Arpana Haritwal at Max Smart Super Specialty Hospital in Saket, New Delhi, for an accurate diagnosis and management plan tailored to your situation.

Treatment options for uterine fibroids include hormonal therapies, non-hormonal medications, and minimally invasive procedures, such as uterine artery embolization or focused ultrasound. In more severe cases, surgical options like myomectomy or hysterectomy may be necessary. The choice of treatment varies based on factors like the size and location of the fibroids, the symptoms, and the patient’s reproductive goals. Dr. Arpana Haritwal is committed to providing personalized care to women dealing with fibroid-related issues, ensuring effective and compassionate treatment throughout New Delhi.

Here are some key aspects:

1. Genetic predisposition: Genetic factors play a role in the development of fibroids. Studies have identified certain genetic alterations and variations that are associated with an increased risk of developing fibroids. 

2. Hormonal influence: Hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, have a significant impact on fibroid development and growth. Estrogen promotes the growth of fibroids, as they contain receptors for estrogen. Scientific evidence supports the role of estrogen in stimulating fibroid growth and progesterone in maintaining their size. Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy can influence fibroid growth patterns.

3. Cellular abnormalities: Fibroids arise from abnormal growth and proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the uterine wall. There are specific cellular changes in fibroids, including alterations in cell signaling pathways, increased production of growth factors, and changes in extracellular matrix composition. These cellular abnormalities contribute to the development and growth of fibroids.

4. Blood vessel abnormalities: Fibroids are known to have increased blood vessel density compared to the surrounding normal tissue. Abnormal development and remodeling of blood vessels within fibroids contribute to their growth and survival. 

5. Other factors: Other factors such as obesity, metabolic disorders, and racial/ethnic disparities have also been associated with an increased risk of developing fibroids, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
