Heavy, dragging periods, a feeling of pressure, or a scan that found fibroids? They’re common, almost always non-cancerous, and very treatable — often with keyhole surgery.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths of muscle that develop in or on the wall of the uterus. They’re extremely common — many women have them at some point — and they range from tiny to large. In Hindi they’re widely known as "bacchedani mein gaanth". Having fibroids does not mean cancer, and many cause no trouble at all and simply need watching.
When fibroids do cause symptoms, it’s usually heavy or prolonged periods, a feeling of pressure or bloating in the lower tummy, needing to pass urine often, or discomfort — and, in some cases, difficulty conceiving. The good news is that treatment today is very effective, and often keyhole, so you don’t have to just live with the symptoms.
No. Many fibroids are small, symptom-free, and simply watched. Treatment is guided by your symptoms and plans — whether periods are heavy, whether there’s pressure, and whether you’re hoping to conceive — not just by the presence of a fibroid on a scan.

Common, hormone-sensitive, and not caused by anything you did.
Fibroids grow under the influence of oestrogen, which is why they often shrink after menopause and can change through life.
They tend to run in families and are very common overall — having them is not a sign anything has gone wrong.
A fibroid’s size and position — inside the cavity, in the wall, or on the surface — decides whether it causes heavy bleeding, pressure, or nothing at all.
Quick, clear and matched to what you want to do next.
Fibroids are straightforward to assess, and the plan depends entirely on your symptoms and goals. Dr. Agarwal explains it all in plain words.
How your periods are, any pressure or urinary changes, and whether you’re planning a pregnancy.
A painless scan maps the number, size and position of fibroids — which guides everything that follows.
If periods are heavy, a simple blood test catches anaemia so it can be corrected alongside treatment.
From watching, to medicine, to keyhole removal — matched to your symptoms and your fertility plans.
The least intervention that solves your symptoms — and protects your uterus when you want a baby.
For many women, medicine to control heavy bleeding plus a watchful eye is enough — especially for smaller fibroids or those near menopause.
Keyhole removal of fibroids that keeps your uterus — ideal if you hope to conceive. Small cuts, less pain, faster recovery.
When a family is complete and symptoms are severe, options like NDVH (scarless vaginal hysterectomy) can give a lasting solution — discussed only if right for you.

No. Fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) growths of muscle in the uterus. They’re very common, and having them does not mean cancer. Cancerous change is extremely rare.
No. Many are small and symptom-free and simply watched. Treatment depends on your symptoms and plans — heavy periods, pressure, or hoping to conceive — not just the presence of a fibroid.
Usually yes. Many women with fibroids conceive without difficulty. If a fibroid is affecting fertility, a keyhole myomectomy that keeps your uterus can help. Dr. Agarwal has supported 300+ pregnancies without IVF.
It’s keyhole removal of fibroids that preserves your uterus — done through a few small cuts, with less pain and a quicker recovery than open surgery. It’s often the preferred choice for women who want to conceive.
They often shrink after menopause as oestrogen falls. Before that, they don’t usually disappear, but many stay small and cause no problems, so simply monitoring them is a valid choice.
