Dr Shikha Sardana provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for uterine fibroids with a focus on relieving symptoms, preserving fertility whenever possible, and improving women's reproductive health. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and pressure-related symptoms depending on their size and location.
Our evaluation includes a detailed medical history, pelvic examination, ultrasound imaging, and additional diagnostic tests when required to accurately assess the number, size, and location of fibroids. Based on the findings, Dr Shikha Sardana develops an individualized treatment plan that may include medical management, hormonal therapy, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopic procedures, or other appropriate treatment options.
Using evidence-based medical guidelines and advanced surgical techniques, we strive to provide effective symptom relief while minimizing recovery time and preserving the uterus and fertility whenever medically appropriate. Every patient receives compassionate care, clear treatment guidance, and ongoing follow-up for optimal long-term outcomes.
