Uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts are among the most common gynecological conditions affecting women of reproductive and peri-menopausal age. While many women may have fibroids or cysts without noticeable symptoms, others can experience significant discomfort that interferes with daily life and overall well-being. These conditions may present with pelvic pain, heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, abdominal bloating, pressure on the bladder or bowel, painful intercourse, or difficulties with fertility and pregnancy. Early evaluation and appropriate management are essential to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Dr. Aarathi Santhosh R. offers expert, individualized care for women diagnosed with or suspected to have uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts. A comprehensive assessment begins with a detailed clinical history, focusing on symptoms, menstrual patterns, reproductive goals, and any prior treatments. This is followed by a thorough physical and gynecological examination. Diagnostic tools such as pelvic ultrasound, Doppler studies, and other imaging modalities are used when necessary to accurately determine the size, number, type, and location of fibroids or cysts, as well as to rule out other underlying conditions.

Management strategies are tailored to each patient, taking into consideration factors such as symptom severity, age, overall health, size and location of the fibroids or cysts, and future fertility plans. For women with mild or no symptoms, a conservative approach with regular monitoring may be recommended. Medical management may include medications to control pain, regulate menstrual bleeding, or manage hormonal influences that contribute to the growth of fibroids or cysts.

When symptoms are severe, persistent, or impacting fertility, surgical options may be considered. Dr. Aarathi Santhosh R. emphasizes minimally invasive and fertility-preserving techniques whenever possible, ensuring optimal outcomes with faster recovery and reduced discomfort. The choice of procedure is carefully discussed with the patient, ensuring they are fully informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.

The primary goal of care is to effectively relieve symptoms, prevent recurrence or complications, and preserve reproductive health whenever feasible. Through compassionate counseling, evidence-based treatment, and ongoing follow-up, Dr. Aarathi Santhosh R. supports women in making informed decisions about their gynecological health and achieving long-term comfort and confidence.
