Fibroid Treatment in Long Island

Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Long Island

Uterine fibroids impact millions of women in the United States. One study found that by age 50, nearly 70% of white women and over 80% of black women develop fibroids. 

Fibroids are benign tumors that form on uterine tissue. They can cause a range of symptoms, including excessive bleeding, pain during sex, abdominal swelling, and severe cramps. 

At our fibroid care centers in Long Island, our doctors treat fibroids using a non-surgical procedure called uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) or uterine artery embolization (UAE). With UFE, you can get relief from your symptoms without having to stay in a hospital or plan for a long recovery period. Because the procedure is less invasive than surgery, you can get back to your life faster, and your fertility isn’t impacted. 

If you’re looking for a Long Island fibroid specialist to help you get rid of your symptoms, schedule a consultation at a center near you today.

Understanding Fibroid Symptoms

Not all women with fibroids have symptoms. In fact, many women have these tumors without any signs or symptoms. 

However, fibroids can continue growing. As they increase in size or multiply in number, they’re more likely to cause problems.

Fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus (subserosal fibroids) can push on surrounding organs, such as the bladder or bowels. Other types of fibroids can grow in the muscular wall of the uterus or in the tissue that lines the uterus, leading to issues related to your menstrual cycle, such as heavy or prolonged bleeding or bleeding between periods. 

While symptoms vary, these are the most common symptoms related to uterine fibroids:

• Heavy periods
• Severe menstrual cramps
• The need to urinate frequently
• A feeling of pressure or fullness in the abdomen
• An enlarged uterus
• Painful intercourse
• Constipation
• Fatigue caused by anemia
• Pain in the pelvic area or lower back

Outpatient Fibroid Care in Long Island

Our fibroid doctors in Long Island specialize in treating fibroids with UFE. They are experienced physicians who can provide every part of your care in our outpatient fibroid centers, including a diagnosis using advanced imaging technology and treatment. 

Many women prefer the uterine fibroid treatment we offer for treating their fibroids. UFE is non-surgical and doesn’t involve removing the uterus, so you can still have a healthy pregnancy afterward.

The procedure is also short and nearly painless. During the UFE, your doctor makes a tiny incision, usually near the groin. That’s all. There’s no need for stitches or general anesthesia. UFE works by stopping the blood supply to the fibroids using tiny microparticles. This causes the tumors to shrink and die, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb any dead fibroid tissue. 

UFE has an extremely high success rate – over 90% of patients are happy with the outcome of the procedure. At USA Fibroid Centers, our doctors are able to achieve a 99% success rate. 

Our uterine fibroid treatment is:

• FDA-approved since 1994
• Approved by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) as safe and effective
• Minimally invasive 
• Quick and convenient — the procedure only takes between 30 and 45 minutes
• A good option for women who want to preserve their fertility
