Uterine fibroids are common, benign tumors that affect up to 70–80% of women during their reproductive years. While many women may never experience symptoms, nearly 30% will develop concerns that disrupt daily life. Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and debilitating cramps can quietly take a toll on your energy, relationships, career, and overall well-being. Too often, women normalize these symptoms for years—planning activities around discomfort or accepting fatigue as routine. You do not have to live this way. Effective treatment options are available, and expert care is closer than you think.

At Glen Cove Hospital’s Katz Women’s Surgical Center, we are proud to offer a comprehensive Fibroid Management Program dedicated to helping women reclaim their quality of life. Our multidisciplinary team provides a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments, including medical therapies, minimally invasive procedures, and advanced surgical options. Whenever appropriate, we emphasize uterine-sparing and fertility-preserving approaches, ensuring that your care aligns with your personal goals and future plans.

Our specialists in women’s health understand that every patient’s experience is unique. We take the time to listen carefully, answer questions thoroughly, and partner with you to create an individualized care plan. Through education, open communication, and shared decision-making, we empower you to make informed choices with confidence.

You do not have to navigate fibroid symptoms alone. If they are interfering with your work, family life, or sense of well-being, we encourage you to reach out and learn more about the options available. Relief is possible. Compassionate, expert care is right here in your community—so you can move forward feeling stronger, healthier, and like yourself again.
