Studies show that about 70% of women will develop fibroids in their lifetime. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that develop in the uterus. These tumors can be as small as a pea or as large as a watermelon. However, irrespective of the size, fibroids are treatable.
The common symptoms of fibroids include bleeding between periods, prolonged periods, and pelvic pain. If you experience these signs, urgently visit our fibroid treatment facility in Midtown East, Manhattan.
At Viva Eve’s Midtown East fibroid treatment location, we offer the following treatment options:

Fibroid Hormone Treatment

Our medication for uterine fibroids mainly targets hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. Hormone therapy doesn’t eliminate fibroids but helps shrink them and reduce the severity of the symptoms.
Hormone therapy mainly uses Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. These drugs block the production of progesterone and estrogen, making fibroids shrink. Also, menstruation stops, and anemia improves.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

This procedure is less-invasive compared to hysterectomy. We use fluoroscopy to deliver embolic agents to the fibroids and uterus. These agents completely block the arteries that supply blood to the uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink.

Hysterectomy

Our doctors may recommend a hysterectomy if your fibroids don’t respond to hormone therapy and other minimally-invasive treatment options. This procedure involves total or partial removal of the uterus.
In a partial hysterectomy, the doctor will remove a portion of your uterus but leave the cervix intact. On the other hand, a total hysterectomy involves the removal of the entire uterus, including the cervix.
At Viva Eve’s Midtown East, Manhattan fibroid treatment location, we also perform hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. During this procedure, we remove the uterus along with fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Myomectomy

At Viva Eve, we also remove fibroids while preserving your uterus. This treatment is ideal for you if you want to have children in the future. This treatment is effective, but there is a high likelihood of fibroids regrowing.
Myomectomy takes three different forms:
· Abdominal myomectomy
· Hysteroscopic myomectomy
· Laparoscopic myomectomy

If you visit us today, we will assess the size and location of your fibroids and recommend which myomectomy is right for you.
