Many women live with fibroids for years before receiving the right diagnosis or treatment. Heavy periods become normal. Pelvic pressure is dismissed as part of ageing. Fertility struggles are blamed on other causes. The truth is that fibroids can have a significant impact on a woman’s health, comfort, and quality of life.
At Medgyne, women have access to a highly-experienced fibroid specialist in Kogarah who understands that every fibroid case is different. Whether you are experiencing severe symptoms, planning a pregnancy, or have been told surgery may be necessary, our goal is to provide clear answers and personalised treatment options that suit your needs.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop within or around the uterus. While many fibroids remain small and symptom-free, others can grow significantly and interfere with daily life, fertility, and reproductive health.
Common symptoms of fibroids include:
Not all fibroids require treatment. However, when symptoms begin affecting your health or lifestyle, specialist assessment becomes important.
Fibroids vary greatly in size, number, and location. A small fibroid inside the uterine cavity may cause more problems than a larger fibroid located elsewhere.
Dr. Tanushree Rao is an AGES-certified advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgeon with extensive experience managing simple and complex fibroid cases. Her training across Australia, the United Kingdom, and India has provided advanced expertise in treating women with multiple fibroids, large fibroids, fertility-related concerns, and high-BMI surgical patients.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, every treatment plan is developed through shared decision-making, ensuring women understand their options and remain in control of their care.
A thorough assessment may include ultrasound imaging, MRI scans, blood tests, and a detailed review of symptoms and reproductive goals.
| Fibroid Concern | Possible Treatment Approach |
|---|---|
| Small fibroids with minimal symptoms | Monitoring and regular reviews |
| Heavy menstrual bleeding | Medical management or minimally-invasive procedures |
| Fertility-related fibroids | Myomectomy (fibroid removal) |

| Severe symptoms with a complete family | Hysterectomy when appropriate |
As a trusted fibroid specialist in Kogarah, Dr. Rao focuses on evidence-based treatment options that balance symptom relief, fertility preservation, and long-term wellbeing.
