Pelvic Pain & Fibroid Treatment in Los Angeles
Personalized care for pelvic pain and uterine fibroids designed to relieve symptoms and restore quality of life.
Pelvic pain can have many causes, and for many women, uterine fibroids are a significant source of discomfort. Heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, bloating, and persistent pelvic pain can interfere with daily life and leave many women feeling frustrated or exhausted.
Dr. Laurence Orbuch evaluates pelvic pain carefully to determine whether fibroids or other gynecologic conditions may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment recommendations are based on the size, number, and location of fibroids, as well as your individual goals.
What Causes Pelvic Pain?
Pelvic pain is not a single condition but a symptom with many possible causes. Fibroids are one of the most common, but other conditions may also be involved.
Potential causes of pelvic pain may include:
Uterine fibroids
Endometriosis
Ovarian cysts
Adenomyosis
Pelvic adhesions or scar tissue
A careful evaluation is essential to determine the true source of pelvic pain and guide the most appropriate treatment.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop in or on the uterus. Some remain small and cause no symptoms, while others can grow larger or develop in locations that affect bleeding, comfort, or fertility.
Because fibroids vary widely, treatment should always be individualized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Common Symptoms of Fibroids
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination
Lower back or leg pain
Pain during intercourse
Difficulty becoming pregnant
Abdominal fullness or visible enlargement
Fibroid Treatment Options for Pelvic Pain
Not all fibroids require surgery. Some can be monitored over time. However, when fibroids begin to cause persistent pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or impact fertility, treatment may be recommended.
Dr. Orbuch offers a personalized approach, including minimally invasive surgical options designed to address both symptoms and underlying causes.
Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy
For some women, hysterectomy may be the most appropriate treatment, particularly when fibroids are large, numerous, or causing severe symptoms.
Minimally invasive techniques allow this procedure to be performed with smaller incisions and a smoother recovery.
