From routine screenings to specialized cancer care, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Frisco uses advanced technology to diagnose and treat the unique conditions that affect women, including:

Uterine fibroids

As many as 30 to 40% of women over the age of 30 may experience uterine fibroids, which can lead to heavy, painful periods. While some women may not experience any symptoms, for those who do, Baylor Frisco offers several treatment options:

• Uterine fibroid embolization, a nonsurgical procedure that blocks the blood supply of individual fibroids, causing them to shrink.
