Fibroids don't have to run your calendar.
Dr. Peyman Banooni helps women across Los Angeles get an accurate diagnosis and a clear path forward for uterine fibroids — from watchful waiting to minimally invasive myomectomy — without the runaround.
Every fibroid case is a different shape, size, and story.
Location, size, and number of fibroids change what "treatment" even means. Dr. Banooni's approach starts with precise imaging and an honest conversation about what your fibroids are actually doing to your body — then matches you to the least invasive option that solves it.
Heavy or prolonged bleeding
Submucosal and intramural fibroids are a leading cause of heavy menstrual bleeding and iron-deficiency anemia in reproductive-age women.
Pelvic pressure & pain
Larger or multiple fibroids can press on the bladder or bowel, causing pelvic heaviness, urinary frequency, or pain during intercourse.
Fertility & pregnancy concerns
Certain fibroid locations can affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes — and the right surgical approach can preserve the uterus when that matters to you.
From monitoring to minimally invasive surgery.
Not every fibroid needs an operation. When surgery is the right call, Dr. Banooni prioritizes minimally invasive and uterus-sparing techniques whenever they're medically appropriate.
Myomectomy
Surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus — performed laparoscopically, robotically, hysteroscopically, or via mini-laparotomy, Dr. Banooni's signature technique, depending on fibroid location.

A definitive option for women who have completed childbearing or have significant, recurrent fibroid burden — typically performed minimally invasively.

Hormonal therapy, iron repletion, and monitored surveillance for fibroids that are stable and not significantly affecting quality of life.

Most fibroid consultations end with a clear recommendation — imaging review, treatment options, and realistic timelines — in a single visit.
