Fibroid and Menstrual Disorder Center

Are your fibroids still causing you problems?

Together we'll find the best treatment for you.

Whether you've had multiple prior surgeries, are overweight, or have very large fibroids, there is an answer. A hysterectomy may not be your only option. You may qualify for a less invasive procedure to treat your fibroids.

The George Washington University Hospital Fibroid and Menstrual Disorder Center will review your case with you and discuss your options.

Comprising a team of gynecologic surgeons, high-risk obstetricians, oncologists, and interventional radiologists, doctors at The GW Hospital Fibroid and Menstrual Disorder Center are committed to helping you make an informed decision on a treatment plan that is right for you.
