Understanding Uterine Fibroids
At Pinnacle – Embu Diagnostic & Medical Centre, we are committed to empowering women with knowledge and accurate diagnosis.

Uterine fibroids are common non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Many women may have fibroids without knowing, while others may experience symptoms that affect their quality of life.

Types of Fibroids

Fibroids are classified depending on where they grow in the uterus:

1. Intramural Fibroids – Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type.

2. Subserosal Fibroids – Grow on the outer surface of the uterus and may press on nearby organs.

3. Submucosal Fibroids – Develop just beneath the uterine lining and may cause heavy menstrual bleeding or fertility problems.

4. Pedunculated Fibroids – Fibroids attached to the uterus by a thin stalk.

Common Symptoms
Many women with fibroids experience no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Painful menstrual periods
- Pelvic pressure or pelvic pain
- Lower back pain
- Frequent urination (due to pressure on the bladder)
- Constipation (due to pressure on the bowel)
- Abdominal enlargement or bloating

Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of fibroids is not fully understood, but several factors contribute to their development:
- Hormonal influence: Growth is stimulated by estrogen and progesterone
- Age: Most common in women in their 30s and 40s
- Family history: Genetic predisposition increases risk
- Obesity: Higher body fat levels may increase estrogen levels
- Ethnicity: Higher prevalence in some populations

Impact on Fertility and Pregnancy
Most women with fibroids can conceive and have normal pregnancies. However, certain fibroids—particularly submucosal or large intramural fibroids—may lead to:
* Difficulty conceiving
* Recurrent miscarriage
* Placental abnormalities
* Premature labor
* Malpresentation of the fetus

Early Detection Matters
Many fibroids are discovered during a pelvic ultrasound scan, which is a safe and effective way to evaluate the uterus and reproductive organs.

Management and Treatment Options
Treatment depends on symptoms, fibroid size, location, and reproductive plans.
1. Watchful Waiting
Recommended for small, asymptomatic fibroids. Regular monitoring with pelvic examination or ultrasound

2. Medications
Hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills or progesterone-only methods) to control bleeding
GnRH agonists to shrink fibroids temporarily

Other medications to control symptoms such as heavy bleeding
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Blocks blood supply to fibroids. MRI-guided focused ultrasound: Uses high-energy sound waves to destroy fibroid tissue

4. Surgical Treatment
Myomectomy: Surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus (preferred for women wishing to conceive)

Hysterectomy: Complete removal of the uterus; considered a definitive treatment

✅ Summary:
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors that may cause menstrual abnormalities, pelvic pressure, or fertility issues. While many women require only observation, others benefit from medical therapy, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on symptom severity and reproductive goals.

1ST TRIMESTER ULTRASOUND

The First Step toward a Healthy Pregnancy

At Pinnacle Embu, we understand that early pregnancy can bring both excitement and uncertainty. Our 1st trimester ultrasound scan provides accurate information and reassurance during this important stage of your journey.
Performed between 6 and 13 weeks of pregnancy, this scan confirms that your pregnancy is developing safely inside the uterus. It allows you to see your baby for the first time and, in most cases, hear the heartbeat — a special and unforgettable moment.

Why is the 1st Trimester Scan Important?
✔ Confirms pregnancy and its location
✔ Detects your baby’s heartbeat
✔ Accurately determines gestational age
✔ Provides an expected due date
✔ Identifies twins early
✔ Detects possible early complications

If you are experiencing mild abdominal pain, spotting, or simply want reassurance, this scan helps provide clarity and peace of mind.

Options
We offer two safe and effective scanning methods depending on your stage of pregnancy and clinical needs:

1. Transabdominal Ultrasound
• Performed over the abdomen
• Requires a moderately full bladder
• Comfortable and non-invasive
• Suitable for most pregnancies after 6–7 weeks

2. Transvaginal Ultrasound
• Provides clearer images in very early pregnancy
• Used when more detailed assessment is required
• Safe and performed with privacy and care
Both methods use sound waves — not radiation — making them completely safe for both mother and baby.

Safe • Accurate • Reassuring
At Pinnacle Embu we combine modern imaging equipment with compassionate, professional care. Your comfort, privacy, and accurate results are our priority.

Your first trimester scan is more than just a test — it is reassurance, clarity, and the beginning of a guided and safer pregnancy journey.
