Fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids, are benign growths in the muscular wall of the uterus. They are very common and occur in many women of childbearing age. Some women experience no symptoms, while others may have symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pressure in the lower abdomen, or pain.

At Lægerne Danmark, our gynecologists offer thorough evaluations and advice to help you understand your symptoms and determine whether you need treatment.

Fibroids are benign muscle growths that develop in the uterine muscle tissue. They are also called myomas and can vary greatly in size, ranging from very small growths to larger masses that can alter the shape of the uterus.

Fibroids are not cancer, and they very rarely develop into something serious. Many women discover them by chance during a gynecological exam or ultrasound.

The fibroids can be located in different parts of the uterus, for example:

• In the muscular wall of the uterus
• On the outside of the uterus
• Inside the uterine cavity

The location may determine whether the fibroids cause symptoms.

Many women with fibroids have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they are often due to the size or location of the fibroids.

Typical symptoms may include:

• Heavy or prolonged menstruation
• Bleeding between periods
• Pressure or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen
• Pain in the pelvis or lower back
• Frequent urination
• Problems getting pregnant

If you experience persistent or bothersome symptoms, it may be a good idea to see a gynecologist.

If fibroids are suspected, the gynecologist will typically begin by discussing your symptoms, your menstrual cycle, and your medical history. The goal is to get an overview of your symptoms and assess whether there are any signs of muscle knots in the uterus.

Following this, a gynecological examination and an ultrasound scan of the uterus can be performed. Ultrasound is the most common method for identifying fibroids and assessing their size and location. The examination is quick and painless and provides a good overview of the uterus. In some cases, additional tests may also be needed to obtain a more precise assessment.

Treatment for fibroids depends on your symptoms, the size of the fibroids, and your plans for future fertility. Not all fibroids require treatment.

Possible treatments may include:

A gynecologist will always determine the most appropriate course of action based on your symptoms and needs.

Fibroids do not necessarily affect fertility, but in some cases they can make it harder to get pregnant or increase the risk of complications during pregnancy.

It depends mainly on:

• The size of the knots
• Location in the uterus
• The number of fibroids

If you are trying to get pregnant and have fibroids, a gynecologist can help determine whether they affect your fertility and whether treatment might be appropriate.

Menopausal bleeding problems include irregular or persistent bleeding in women going through menopause. At Lægerne Danmark, our gynecologists will guide you in finding the cause and the right treatment so that you can enjoy peace of mind and security in your everyday life.

When menstruation ceases during menopause, some women may experience continued or irregular bleeding. There are many possible causes, including hormonal changes, polyps, uterine cancer, or other gynecological conditions.

Bleeding after menopause should always be investigated, as it may be a sign of underlying disease, but it is often caused by hormonal changes in the body, which can be regulated with treatment.

A consultation with a gynecologist is essential to determine the cause of your bleeding. During the consultation, we will review:

• Your medical history and medication
• Your menstrual and bleeding history
• Any symptoms such as pain or discomfort

The gynecologist may then suggest relevant tests, which may include ultrasound, blood tests, or biopsy, to ensure a correct diagnosis.

We also assess treatment, which may include hormone therapy, local treatment, or surgical procedures, depending on individual needs and preferences.

It is important to contact a gynecologist if you experience bleeding after menopause, heavy or persistent bleeding, or pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.

Bleeding during intercourse, also known as contact bleeding, is a condition in which bleeding occurs from the vagina during or after intercourse. It can range from light spotting to more obvious bleeding.

For some women, it is a one-time occurrence, while for others it may be recurrent. Regardless of the extent, bleeding during intercourse should always be evaluated by a gynecologist to determine the cause.

At Lægerne Danmark, our gynecologists offer thorough examinations and individual counseling so that you can get clarity and the right treatment.

Bleeding during intercourse refers to vaginal bleeding that occurs during or after sexual activity. The bleeding usually originates from the cervix or the mucous membrane of the vagina.

The condition can occur at any age, but is more common in women with hormonal changes, infections, or cell changes in the cervix.

Although the cause is often harmless, bleeding during intercourse can in some cases be a sign of underlying disease, and therefore a gynecological examination is recommended, especially if the bleeding recurs.

There are several possible causes of bleeding during intercourse. The most common are:

In rare cases, bleeding during intercourse can be a sign of a more serious illness, including cervical cancer. It is therefore important to have the symptom assessed.

You should contact a gynecologist if:

• The bleeding occurs repeatedly
• You experience pain during intercourse
• You have foul-smelling discharge or other signs of infection
• You are going through menopause and experiencing new bleeding
• You feel insecure or worried

An early examination can provide peace of mind and ensure that any necessary treatment is initiated quickly.

During the consultation, the gynecologist will talk to you about your symptoms, menstrual pattern, and any other discomfort you may be experiencing.

This is followed by a gynecological examination, during which the cervix and vagina are inspected. This may be supplemented by:

• Cervical cell sample
• Test for infection
• Ultrasound scan
• Possible referral for further examination

The examination is usually brief and takes place in a safe environment. The purpose is to identify the cause and rule out serious illness.

Treatment depends on the cause of the bleeding.

• If your mucous membranes are dry, local hormone treatment or moisturizing products can help relieve the discomfort.
• In case of infection, treat with appropriate medication.
• Polyps can be removed by minor surgery.
• Cell changes are monitored or treated according to current guidelines.

In many cases, symptoms can be treated effectively once the cause has been identified.

When you choose a private gynecologist, you get quick access to specialized gynecological assessment without long waiting times. This means that you can quickly determine the cause of your symptoms and move forward with the right treatment.

At Lægerne Danmark, we prioritize high professional standards, thorough examinations, and ample time for each individual patient. You will receive a comfortable consultation where there is room to discuss symptoms, concerns, and questions.

Our gynecologists work according to current professional guidelines and have extensive experience in both the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological issues.

A gynecological assessment provides clarity, peace of mind, and the possibility of prompt treatment if necessary.

At Lægerne Danmark, our experienced gynecologists offer professional assessment and treatment of menstrual disorders. We help women with irregular, heavy, or painful periods so that you can get your cycle and symptoms under control.

Menstrual disorders can manifest as irregular, heavy, or painful periods. This can affect your daily life, energy levels, and well-being. It is important to have the symptoms assessed, as many causes can be treated effectively to reduce the discomfort.

Irregular menstruation means that your cycle deviates from the normal pattern in terms of length, frequency, or duration. This can be:

Some variations are superficial and due to natural hormonal changes, while others may point to deeper causes, such as hormonal imbalances, PCOS, or metabolic disorders.

Our gynecologists always take your situation as their starting point and offer individual guidance with a focus on security and discretion. Among other things, we help with:

If cycles vary greatly in length or frequency, we investigate the cause and advise on options for hormonal regulation or other measures.

We assess the extent of the bleeding and offer medical treatment, hormone therapy, or other measures to reduce discomfort and the risk of anemia.

We offer advice, medical relief, and treatment options so that menstrual pain has as little impact on your everyday life as possible.

Menstrual disorders can be caused by hormonal imbalances, PCOS, fibroids, cysts, or other gynecological conditions. Our gynecologists assess the symptoms, perform relevant examinations, and, if necessary, conduct additional tests to determine the cause.

Irregular periods can affect ovulation, making it harder to get pregnant. When cycles vary greatly in length or frequency, it may be a sign of hormonal imbalances or underlying conditions that affect fertility.

Conditions such as PCOS, hormonal imbalances, or early menopause can lead to irregular or absent ovulation. Therefore, it is important to have the symptoms assessed early, especially if you want to become pregnant.

We provide guidance on diet, exercise, lifestyle, and managing symptoms so that you can stabilize your cycle and improve your well-being. We always tailor our advice to your needs and ensure that you understand your options.

Treatment for menstrual disorders depends on the cause and your symptoms. At Lægerne Danmark, our gynecologists always assess which treatment is best for you.

Possible treatment options may include:

• Medical treatment, e.g., painkillers or hemostatic drugs
• Hormone therapy, such as birth control pills or hormone IUDs, to regulate the cycle and reduce bleeding
• Less invasive procedures, e.g. for fibroids or polyps, if these affect menstruation.

Our gynecologists take the time to listen, explain, and guide you through the entire process. Consultations can take place at the clinic or via video consultation, whichever suits you best. We ensure that you feel comfortable, understood, and well informed about your options.
