Uterine fibroids and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common health problems that can cause pain and other harmful symptoms.
If you experience heavy bleeding during periods, pain in the pelvic region, or increased urination, it could be uterine fibroids. Left untreated, these non-cancerous growths can lead to other issues. Diagnosis is performed by ultrasound, and your doctor will help determine the right treatment plan.
PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, occurs in roughly 10% of people who have ovaries. It can lead to irregular periods, weight gain, hair growth, and other serious issues like uterine cancer or type 2 diabetes. Exams and lab testing can help detect PCOS. While no cure exists, medications are available to manage symptoms.
For these and other women’s health concerns, AltaMed has you covered.
