Uterine fibroids, or leiomyoma, are growths on the uterine lining or muscle that can cause abnormal bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pain, or infertility. When dealing with fibroids, a trip to the doctor is a necessity. Don’t let fibroids upend your daily activity. We can help you treat or surgically remove them if needed.
