Alate Health acknowledges the significant impact of fibroids, or uterine fibroids, on women's lives. These noncancerous growths, discovered during pelvic exams, can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and bladder or bowel pressure. Treatment depends on severity, fibroid size and location, age, and future pregnancy plans. Some fibroids shrink naturally after menopause due to reduced estrogen levels.   If left untreated, fibroids can result in various complications, including fertility challenges and anemia caused by excessive menstrual bleeding. Large fibroids may alter the shape of the uterus, exert pressure on nearby organs, and disrupt fetal development and positioning, potentially leading to issues like premature birth or low birth weight. At Alate Health, we believe in the importance of regular check-ups and open discussions with your healthcare provider to monitor any changes in the fibroids and to manage your symptoms effectively. Depending on your condition, our team of experienced physicians may recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical options to treat fibroids. If fibroids are causing significant symptoms that interfere with daily life or reproductive function, treatment may be necessary.
