Fibroids are incredibly common, and for many people, they cause no symptoms at all. But when they do, they can lead to heavy bleeding, painful periods, pressure, constipation and even fertility challenges.

Dr. Eboni Ogunbekun explains that fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus and can range in size from tiny marbles to the size of a baby. Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on your symptoms, options may include hormone management, non-hormonal medication, robotic surgery or incision-free procedures like Sonata, which shrinks fibroids using ultrasound guidance.

If fibroids are affecting your daily life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our team is here to help you find the right treatment for your goals.

When was the last time you had your blood sugar checked? 🩸

Primary care physician Dr. Alexis Almeida says symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision or slow-healing sores may signal high blood sugar.

Routine screening is recommended for adults ages 40–70 who are overweight, but those with risk factors — such as high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes or a sedentary lifestyle — may need testing sooner.

Early detection is key. It can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of complications like heart disease, kidney failure and vision loss. Regular checkups with your primary care provider help catch problems early and keep you healthier longer.
