Understanding Fibroids

Fibroid removal, medically known as myomectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes fibroids while preserving the uterus. This treatment helps restore normal menstrual cycles and improves fertility in women planning pregnancy. Depending on the size and number of fibroids, the procedure can be done using laparoscopic (keyhole) or open surgical techniques.

When Is Fibroid Removal Needed?

Doctors recommend fibroid removal when fibroids cause severe symptoms such as heavy bleeding, frequent urination, or pain during intercourse. It is also advised for women who experience infertility or recurrent miscarriages due to fibroid growths. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and protect reproductive health.

Types of Fibroid Removal Procedures

There are different approaches to removing fibroids, such as:

• Laparoscopic myomectomy – for small or medium-sized fibroids.

• Hysteroscopic myomectomy – for fibroids inside the uterus.

• Abdominal myomectomy – for large or multiple fibroids.

Your doctor will choose the best method based on your condition and fertility goals.

Benefits of Fibroid Removal

Opting for fibroid removal provides several benefits, including:

• Relief from heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.

• Improved chances of conception.

• Preservation of the uterus.

• Enhanced comfort and quality of life.
  Minimally invasive options also ensure quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
