Diagnosis and Treatment for Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts – Birmingham & Midlands
Fibroids and ovarian cysts are common gynaecological conditions that can affect women at different stages of life. While many are harmless, some can cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy periods, abdominal bloating, or fertility concerns.
At Midlands Women’s Health, our private gynaecology clinic in Birmingham provides expert diagnosis and treatment for uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, helping women receive clear answers and personalised care without long waiting times.
Our experienced consultant gynaecologists and specialist sonographers offer advanced pelvic ultrasound scanning, clinical assessment, and tailored treatment plans to manage symptoms and support long-term women’s health.
What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus (womb). They are very common and many women may have fibroids without knowing.
However, some fibroids can cause symptoms that affect daily life.
Common symptoms of fibroids include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or pelvic pain
- Abdominal bloating or swelling
- Pain during sex
- Frequent urination
- Lower back pain
- Fertility difficulties
Fibroids vary in size and location, and treatment depends on symptoms, size, and individual health goals.
What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries. Many ovarian cysts are part of the normal menstrual cycle and resolve naturally.
However, some cysts can cause symptoms or require monitoring or treatment.
Symptoms of ovarian cysts may include:
- Pelvic pain or lower abdominal pain
- Bloating or abdominal swelling
- Pain during periods
- Pain during intercourse
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Sudden sharp pelvic pain (in rare cases)
Our specialists use advanced pelvic ultrasound imaging to diagnose and assess ovarian cysts accurately.
Causes of Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts
Several factors can influence the development of fibroids and cysts.
Fibroids may be linked to:
- Hormonal changes
- Genetic factors
- Reproductive age
- Family history of fibroids
Ovarian cysts may be associated with:
- Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Previous ovarian cysts
Understanding the underlying cause helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
How Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts Are Diagnosed
At your private gynaecology consultation in Birmingham, our specialists will carry out a thorough evaluation.
Your appointment may include:
- Detailed discussion of symptoms and menstrual cycle history
- Pelvic ultrasound scanning
- Hormone blood tests if required
- Additional investigations if necessary
Pelvic ultrasound is a safe and highly effective way to assess fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other pelvic conditions.
Treatment Options for Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts
Treatment depends on the size, type, and symptoms associated with fibroids or cysts.
Monitoring
Some fibroids and ovarian cysts may simply require regular monitoring with ultrasound.
Medical Treatment
Medications may help manage symptoms such as heavy periods or pelvic pain.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
If symptoms are severe, treatment options may include minimally invasive procedures or surgical management, depending on individual circumstances.
At Midlands Women’s Health, we provide personalised treatment plans designed around your symptoms, reproductive goals, and lifestyle.

- Difficulty conceiving

Early diagnosis can help ensure appropriate management and prevent complications.
