Uterine Fibroids Care - Mayo Clinic in Arizona

You’ll have an expert multidisciplinary team, a personalized care plan, and a recovery protocol designed to minimize pain and complications. Your team may include minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons, reproductive specialists, diagnostic radiologists, and interventional radiologists.

You’ll also have team members who can assist you with all logistics, including scheduling appointments, coordinating travel, and answering questions about cost. Because people come to Mayo Clinic from all over the world, many accommodation options are nearby. A hotel on the hospital campus includes a free shuttle.

Where you have your surgery matters. Studies show that people who have fibroid surgery at specialty centers with highly trained fibroid specialists have fewer complications, faster recovery, and better outcomes.

All gynecologic surgeons at Mayo Clinic in Arizona are fellowship trained and subspecialists in gynecologic surgery. Several have achieved Focus Practice Designation in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

We offer the full range of options. These include:

Myomectomy. Fibroids are removed surgically by accessing the uterus either through the vagina or the abdomen via small laparoscopic incisions or a larger, C-section-type incision, depending on fibroid size, location, and number. Outcomes are better when performed by a fibroid specialist.
Uterine fibroid embolization. Also called uterine artery embolization, this minor procedure blocks blood supply to a fibroid to shrink it and decrease period bleeding.
Radiofrequency fibroid ablation. This surgery destroys fibroids with heat, using a device inserted through the vagina.
Endometrial ablation. A device inserted through the vagina burns and destroys the lining of the uterus to decrease heavy period bleeding.
Hysterectomy. The uterus is surgically removed, permanently eliminating fibroids.
Medications. These can treat heavy periods and temporarily shrink fibroids.

Your expert team at Mayo Clinic will work with you on a personalized plan that best fits your goals. Help is available, and you do not have to suffer with fibroids.
