Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Johor Bahru

Fibroid Rahim

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the uterine muscle that affect many Malaysian women, particularly in their 30s and 40s. They vary greatly in size — from a pea to a melon — and location. Many fibroids cause no symptoms and are found incidentally on ultrasound. However, symptomatic fibroids cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and in some cases, fertility problems. Effective medical and surgical treatments are available.

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
Pelvic pressure, heaviness, or fullness
Frequent urination (fibroid pressing on bladder)
Constipation (fibroid pressing on rectum)
Lower back pain
Pain during periods or sexual intercourse

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you have heavy periods soaking through a pad hourly, if menstrual bleeding lasts more than 7 days, if you have significant pelvic pain or pressure, or if you are having difficulty conceiving. Fibroids are very common and most are manageable — do not panic, but do seek assessment.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah doctors assess uterine fibroids through gynaecological history, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound to determine size, number, and location of fibroids. Blood tests check for anaemia from heavy bleeding. Medical management includes tranexamic acid and NSAIDs for heavy periods, and hormonal therapy to reduce fibroid size. We refer to a gynaecologist for consideration of procedures including myomectomy (fibroid removal), endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolisation, or hysterectomy in severe cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a fibroid assessment clinic near me in Johor Bahru?
Yes, Klinik Muhibbah in Masai provides pelvic ultrasound and gynaecological assessment for fibroids, with referral to gynaecologists. Walk-ins welcome — call +60 7-251 1162 or book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
Do all fibroids need surgery?
No — many fibroids are asymptomatic and can be monitored with regular ultrasound. Surgery is recommended for fibroids causing significant symptoms (heavy bleeding, anaemia, severe pain) or affecting fertility. Our doctors help you understand your fibroid's size and location and whether treatment is needed.
Can fibroids become cancerous?
Fibroids are benign and do not become cancerous. Uterine sarcoma (a rare malignant tumour) is a different condition and is not caused by fibroids. However, rapidly growing fibroids in post-menopausal women warrant specialist evaluation to exclude malignancy. Our doctors will assess and refer appropriately.
