Fibroids Treatment Specialist in Houston, TX

We frequently care for women experiencing uterine fibroids—also known as uterine leiomyomas or myomas. Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus, and while common, they can affect each woman differently.

The exact cause of fibroids is not fully understood, but research shows that several factors are involved. Hormonal influences, particularly from estrogen and progesterone, play a significant role; these hormones stimulate the growth of the uterine lining during each menstrual cycle and can also encourage fibroid growth. Genetics is also important—women with a family history of fibroids are at a higher risk of developing them.

Other factors can influence your risk as well. Fibroids most commonly affect women during their reproductive years, and studies show they tend to be more prevalent and severe in women of African descent. Lifestyle elements such as diet, obesity, and even certain environmental exposures may also contribute to fibroid development, though these links are still being researched.

We understand that every woman’s experience with fibroids is unique. If you are experiencing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or reproductive issues, our Houston based team offers comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment options. We are committed to helping you understand your risks and providing the highest quality care for fibroid management.

We frequently help women manage uterine fibroids—noncancerous growths in the uterus that can impact your health in a variety of ways. The effects of fibroids often depend on their size, number, and location within the uterus.

Common Symptoms We See:
● Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding: One of the most frequent complaints from our patients is unusually heavy or long periods. This can sometimes lead to anemia due to excessive blood loss, resulting in fatigue and weakness.

● Pelvic Pain or Pressure: Many women experience persistent pelvic discomfort or a sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen. This is a symptom we regularly address through personalized treatment options.

● Urinary and Bowel Symptoms: If fibroids press against the bladder, you may notice increased frequency of urination or difficulty fully emptying your bladder. Similarly, fibroids can cause constipation if they press on the rectum. 

● Pain During Intercourse: For some patients in our Houston practice, fibroids located near the cervix or within the uterine wall can lead to discomfort or pain during sex.

While many fibroids cause no symptoms and do not interfere with fertility, others may contribute to challenges with becoming pregnant or increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth. Dr. Ronen has extensive experience helping women in Houston navigate these concerns and will work with you to find the best solutions for your reproductive goals.

We understand that dealing with uterine fibroids—a common, non-cancerous growth in the uterus—can be challenging. Our practice offers a compassionate, individualized approach to fibroid management, combining the latest medical advancements with personalized care to help you find relief and protect your reproductive health.

Fibroids may not cause symptoms and can be safely monitored with regular check-ups at our office. Dr. Ronen will assess the size, number, and location of your fibroids using advanced imaging techniques and recommend a “watchful waiting” approach if appropriate.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure, Dr. Ronen will work closely with you to create a tailored treatment plan. Options may include:

Medications: Hormonal treatments such as birth control pills can help control bleeding, while medications like gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists can shrink fibroids. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also be recommended for mild discomfort.

Lifestyle Guidance: Our team provides support and counseling on maintaining a healthy weight, balanced nutrition, and regular exercise—all of which contribute to your overall well-being, even though they may not directly eliminate fibroids.

We believe in empowering our Houston-area patients to make informed decisions about their health. Dr. Ronen will take the time to discuss all available treatment options, answer your questions, and support you every step of the way.

We frequently diagnose and manage uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus during a woman’s reproductive years. The seriousness of fibroids can vary greatly, depending on their size, number, location, and the symptoms they cause.

Many women in the Houston area have fibroids without experiencing any symptoms, and in these cases, treatment may not be necessary. However, for some patients, fibroids can lead to significant health concerns. Common symptoms include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and, in some cases, challenges with fertility or pregnancy. If left untreated, severe symptoms such as excessive bleeding can sometimes lead to anemia, requiring medical attention.

While fibroids are almost always benign and rarely become cancerous, they can still have a major impact on your quality of life. Large or multiple fibroids may distort the shape of the uterus or press on other organs, causing discomfort or other complications.Dr. Ronen offers personalized treatment options for women with fibroids, including careful monitoring, medication, and surgical procedures when necessary.
