Fibroids

Uterine fibroids, also called myomas, are abnormal growths of muscle and tissue on the wall of the uterus. Fibroids are actually small tumors, but not the cancerous type.

They can cause discomfort in the pelvic area, heavy menstrual bleeding and pressure on the bowels and bladder.

Fixing Fibroids Without Surgery

Using microscopic surgery, the doctors at SVI guide treatment through the veins to block the blood flow to the fibroids, killing the tumors in a matter of weeks. Most patients just need a local anesthetic for the procedure.

Image Guided Treatment

Our treatment of fibroids is image-guided. That means we use x-rays and other medical imaging tools to watch the procedure inside the body as it is happening. Image-guided procedures allow Southern Vascular Institute to treat fibroids with the highest precision and effectiveness.
