Abstract summary 

This case report details the evaluation and management of a 40-year-old woman presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding and severe dysmenorrhea. Despite three months of combined oral contraceptives, symptoms persisted. The patient denied other systemic symptoms, with no weight loss, fatigue, or urinary/fecal symptoms. No visual, cardiovascular, pulmonary, abdominal, neurological, or mental health issues were reported. Pelvic imaging revealed a 7 cm × 4.3 cm FIGO 4 fibroid. The chosen treatment was laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Acessa) due to its efficacy, safety, and faster recovery. The case highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating abnormal uterine bleeding.
