Fibroids
At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, located in the prestigious districts of Belgravia and Dulwich, London, we specialise in the diagnosis and management of fibroids. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalised and effective treatment options for women suffering from fibroids, aiming to improve their quality of life and address their specific health concerns.
Understanding Fibroids
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Although often asymptomatic, they can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal pain, and pressure on other organs, which may affect fertility and daily activities. The exact cause of fibroids is unknown, but they are thought to be influenced by hormonal and genetic factors.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Diagnosing fibroids accurately is crucial for effective treatment. At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, we use a comprehensive approach to ensure precise diagnosis:
- Initial Consultation: Discussing symptoms, medical history, and any prior treatments.
- Ultrasound Scanning: High-resolution imaging to identify the presence and size of fibroids.
- Additional Imaging: In some cases, MRI or hysteroscopy might be used for further evaluation.

Treatment Options
Our treatment for fibroids is tailored to the individual needs of each patient, depending on the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids, as well as the patient’s desire for future pregnancies:
- Medication: Hormonal treatments to help control symptoms and reduce fibroid size.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques such as Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) or MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery.
- Surgical Options: Myomectomy for women who wish to preserve fertility, or hysterectomy for complete removal of fibroids in more severe cases.
