Fibroid Treatment
If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids — or think you might have them — you don’t have to manage the pain, heavy bleeding, or fertility worries alone. At Clearview Hospital & Fertility in Lekki Phase 1, our gynaecology team offers accurate diagnosis and a full range of treatment options, from medication to minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, tailored to your symptoms, your health, and your future fertility goals.
What are uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb. They’re extremely common — many women have them at some point, often without knowing, since fibroids don’t always cause symptoms. When they do, fibroids can affect daily life, menstrual health, and in some cases, the ability to conceive.
Fibroids vary widely in size, number, and location, which is why treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Some women need nothing more than monitoring; others benefit from medication or a surgical procedure.
Signs and Symptoms of Fibroids
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Pain during intercourse
- Lower back pain
- A visibly swollen or enlarged abdomen
- Difficulty getting pregnant, or recurrent miscarriage
Not every woman with fibroids experiences symptoms, and symptoms alone can’t confirm a diagnosis — that’s why proper clinical evaluation matters.
Book a consultation with our gynaecology team at Clearview Hospital & Fertility, Lekki Phase 1, and get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan built around you.
Our gynaecology team begins with a detailed consultation and pelvic examination, followed by imaging — typically an ultrasound scan — to confirm the presence, size, and location of any fibroids. Depending on your symptoms and history, further tests may be recommended to guide the right treatment path, especially if fertility is a concern.
We believe treatment should match the fibroid, not the other way around. Depending on your diagnosis, our team may recommend:
Watchful Waiting For small fibroids causing no significant symptoms, regular monitoring may be all that’s needed — no immediate intervention required.
Medical (Non-Surgical) Management Hormonal and non-hormonal medications can help manage symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain, and in some cases shrink fibroids or delay the need for surgery.
Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Myomectomy For fibroids that need to be removed, our team offers laparoscopic myomectomy — a keyhole surgical approach that removes fibroids while preserving the uterus. Compared to open surgery, this typically means smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery.
Open (Traditional) Myomectomy For larger or more complex fibroids, an open surgical approach may be the safest and most effective option. Our surgical team will walk you through what to expect if this is recommended for you.
Fertility-Focused Care Because Clearview is a fertility-focused hospital, our approach to fibroid treatment always considers your reproductive goals — whether that means a uterus-preserving procedure or additional fertility support alongside treatment.
