Fibroids
Fibroid Management in Fresno
Find Relief. Reclaim Your Rhythm.
Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that can significantly impact your quality of life—causing heavy periods, pelvic pressure, and even fertility challenges. At The GYN Lounge, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help you manage fibroid symptoms with confidence and clarity. From diagnostics to fertility-conscious procedures like Acessa®, our treatment plans are tailored to your body and your goals.
Understanding Fibroids
Fibroids often begin to develop between the ages of 30 and 50, but they can occur at any stage of life. While not dangerous, they can lead to a wide range of disruptive symptoms, including:
- Heavy, painful periods (lasting 7+ days)
- Pelvic, back, or abdominal pain
- Bloating or a visibly enlarged belly
- Frequent urination or constipation
- Painful intercourse
- Anemia and fatigue
- Infertility or pregnancy complications
What Is Acessa®
Acessa® is a minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to shrink uterine fibroids—without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. It’s an ideal option for women seeking relief from fibroid symptoms while preserving the uterus.
What It Treats
- Symptomatic uterine fibroids
- Painful, prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain and bloating
- GI issues caused by fibroid pressure
The Process:
What to Expect
Consultation
We begin with a full history, pelvic exam, and ultrasound. Additional testing (such as a Pap smear, biopsy, or bloodwork) may be performed. We’ll walk through all treatment options—from watchful waiting to ablation or surgery—so you feel informed and empowered.
Scheduling
Our team will guide you through scheduling and pre-op logistics.
Procedure Day
You’ll arrive at the hospital a few hours before the procedure to meet with anesthesia, finalize paperwork, and prepare for surgery. The treatment typically lasts 1.5–2 hours, and most patients return home the same day.
Post-Op Follow-Up
You’ll return to The GYN Lounge 1–2 weeks later for a post-operative check-in to ensure a smooth recovery and continued improvement in your symptoms.
A Lasting Plan for Relief
For best results, we recommend a series of three sessions spaced six weeks apart, followed by an annual touch-up treatment to maintain long-term vaginal health and comfort.
Procedure Time:
90-120 minutes
Recovery Time:
Most patients return home the same day, with 4–5 days of downtime
Ideal For:
Women not planning future pregnancies
