Fibroids

What are Fibroids and why they matter

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, affecting up to 70% of women by age 50. While some fibroids are small and cause no symptoms, others can lead to significant discomfort, heavy bleeding, fertility issues, and more.

‍

At Raveco Medical, we take fibroids seriously — not just because of the physical impact, but because of how they can affect your everyday life, energy levels, and even plans for a family. Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, we offer expert care that prioritizes your comfort, goals, and long-term health.

‍

What You Can Expect

MRI imaging in complex cases
Blood tests to assess anemia or hormone levels
Discussion about symptom severity and impact on daily life

‍

Treatment depends on your unique case. Options may include:

Watchful waiting – For small, asymptomatic fibroids

Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor.

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

Patient

Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.

Patient

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

Dr. Ravins helped me and my partner during the whole process of delivering my baby and he offered me the epidural. It was amazing I felt no pain and I recommend you get the epidural to make the delivery much easier.

Patient

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

What You Should Know About Fibroids

What are fibroids?

Also known as myomas, uterine fibroids are tumors that develop in the muscle tissue of your uterus. These tumors can develop within the uterine wall, inside the uterus, on the outer surface of the uterus, or attached to it by something that resembles a stem.

Fibroids are nearly always benign or noncancerous but can cause complications like pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, and infertility. However, infertility is more likely to be because of another condition, such as endometriosis.

What are the symptoms of fibroids?

Most of the time, fibroids don’t cause symptoms. When fibroids do cause symptoms, they may include:

‍

Changes in menstruation, including heavier, longer, or more frequent periods
Vaginal bleeding in between periods
Pelvic pain
Pain during sex
Abdominal swelling
Abdominal cramps
Frequent urination or difficulty urinating
Infertility or miscarriages

‍

Even if you don’t have symptoms, your provider at Raveco Medical may find fibroids during a routine pelvic exam or ultrasound test for other problems.

How are fibroids diagnosed?

Your provider at Raveco Medical may detect signs of fibroids during a pelvic exam. To confirm a diagnosis, they may perform one or more tests, such as:

‍

Ultrasound

An ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create a picture of your internal organs. The sound waves come from a handpiece (transducer) that your provider places on your abdomen or inside your vagina.

‍

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy involves inserting a long, thin device through your vagina and cervix. This allows your provider to see inside your uterus without making an incision.

‍

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that allows your provider to see the inside of your abdomen through a slender scope. They insert the laparoscope through a buttonhole-sized incision near your belly button.

What treatments are available for fibroids?

Your provider at Raveco Medical creates an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

If your fibroids are small and don’t cause symptoms, they may recommend watchful waiting. Fibroids that are large, growing rapidly, or causing symptoms like pelvic pain or infertility need treatment.

If you aren’t trying to get pregnant, hormonal medications like birth control pills can reduce pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Surgery, including myomectomy and hysterectomy, may be the best way to treat fibroids with moderate-to-severe symptoms. Other treatment options include endometrial ablation, myolysis, or uterine fibroid embolization. These treatments involve destroying the fibroids with laser energy, electric current, or other means.
