What Happens During Fibroid Treatment?
Before the Procedure
Your doctor will review your medical history, symptoms, and future pregnancy plans, followed by a pelvic examination and imaging tests. Blood tests, pre-anaesthetic assessment, medication adjustments, and fasting instructions may be advised before treatment.
During the Procedure
The procedure depends on the recommended treatment. Medicines, Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE), Myomectomy, or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) may be performed to relieve symptoms while preserving the uterus whenever clinically appropriate.
After the Procedure
You will be monitored before discharge, with the length of hospital stay depending on the treatment performed. Mild cramping is common initially, and most women gradually resume normal activities while symptoms continue improving over the following months.
What Is the Recovery Timeline?
| Time After Treatment | What You Can Expect |
|---|---|
| First 24 Hours | Pain control, early walking, hydration, and a gradual return to a normal diet. |
| 1-2 Weeks | Resume light daily activities depending on the treatment received. |
| 2-4 Weeks | Most women undergoing minimally invasive procedures return to office work and routine activities. |
| 4-6 Weeks | Healing continues, and normal physical activities may gradually resume after medical review. |
| Follow-up Visits | Regular reviews assess recovery, symptom relief, and long-term treatment outcomes. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a large uterine growth shrink naturally?
Before menopause, spontaneous shrinkage is uncommon. Most remain stable or slowly enlarge over months or years. Regular review every 6-12 months, or earlier if symptoms worsen, helps monitor changes.
When should heavy periods no longer be ignored?
Medical evaluation is recommended if bleeding lasts more than 7 days, requires changing a pad every 1-2 hours, causes dizziness or fatigue, or interferes with normal daily activities.
Can these growths affect bladder or bowel function?
Yes. Larger growths can compress nearby organs, leading to frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, constipation, or persistent pelvic pressure that gradually becomes more noticeable.
Is pregnancy still possible before receiving treatment?
Yes. Many women conceive naturally. However, the chances depend on the size, number, and location of the growths, particularly if they distort the uterine cavity.
Can menopause stop the problem from progressing?
In many women, reduced hormone levels after menopause cause these growths to stop enlarging or gradually decrease in size. Any new bleeding after menopause requires prompt medical assessment.
Which scans provide the most accurate assessment?
A pelvic ultrasound is usually the first investigation. An MRI may be recommended for larger, multiple, or complex growths when detailed mapping is needed before planning treatment.
What should be carried to the first appointment?
Bringing previous ultrasound or MRI reports, blood investigations, medication lists, menstrual records, and earlier treatment details helps the specialist compare findings and plan further care more efficiently.
How long do diagnostic tests usually take?
A pelvic ultrasound generally takes 15-30 minutes. If an MRI is required, the scan usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination.
Will an overnight hospital stay always be required?
No. The duration depends on the planned procedure, overall health, and recovery after anaesthesia. Some women return home the same day, while others may require observation.
How often are follow-up visits required?
The first review is commonly scheduled within 1-2 weeks after a procedure. Long-term follow-up may continue every 6-12 months, depending on symptoms, imaging findings, and future pregnancy plans.
