Fibroids

Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are a common type of tumour which can be cancerous or non-cancerous, mostly non-cancerous ones that can grow in and on the uterus as single or in a cluster. Not all fibroids are symptomatic and mostly small fibroids often don’t require treatment, but larger fibroids can be only treated with medications or surgical procedures.

Our mission is to provide affordable infertility care of the finest standard, and we provide comprehensive care by employing highly qualified doctors.
