What this care involves
Fibroids are usually non-cancerous growths of uterine muscle. Ovarian cysts are sacs on or in an ovary and are a different finding. Many cause no symptoms, but the follow-up for each can differ.
When to seek a consultation
Ask for a review after a new scan finding or if you have heavy periods, pelvic pressure, bloating or pain. Sudden severe pelvic pain, particularly with nausea or vomiting, needs urgent assessment.
What an assessment may include
A clinician considers symptoms, age and menopause status. Ultrasound can help describe size, location and appearance. Additional assessment depends on the findings.
Options and next steps
Options may include observation, repeat imaging, medicine for symptoms or discussion of surgery. Your plans for pregnancy may matter in choosing a management approach.
Common question
Does every fibroid or cyst need surgery?
No. Some need only monitoring or no treatment. Decisions depend on symptoms, imaging findings and individual risk factors.
