Fibroid Surgery (Myomectomy)
Modern Surgical Solutions for Pain-Free Fibroid Relief
Fibroid surgery removes non-cancerous uterine growths that may cause pain, heavy bleeding, or infertility. Procedures include myomectomy to preserve the uterus or hysterectomy for complete removal. Minimally invasive techniques ensure faster recovery, less pain, and better outcomes, helping women regain comfort, reproductive health, and improved quality of life.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure, infertility, and frequent urination. While many fibroids are harmless, symptomatic cases may require surgical treatment.
What is Fibroid Surgery?
Fibroid surgery, also known as myomectomy, is a procedure to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus. It is the preferred treatment for women who wish to retain fertility and avoid hysterectomy.
Types of Fibroid Surgery
1. Laparoscopic Myomectomy
A minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments.
- Less pain and minimal scarring
- Faster recovery
- Short hospital stay
Laparoscopic surgery typically results in fewer complications and quicker healing compared to open surgery.
2. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Performed through the vagina without external cuts, ideal for fibroids inside the uterine cavity.
3. Open (Abdominal) Myomectomy
Recommended for large or multiple fibroids where direct access is needed.
Symptoms That May Require Surgery
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Severe pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty conceiving
- Anemia due to blood loss
Fibroid removal can significantly reduce these symptoms and improve quality of life.
Benefits of Fibroid Surgery
- Relief from heavy bleeding and pain
- Improved fertility outcomes
- Preservation of the uterus
- Better quality of life
- Reduced pressure on nearby organs
Many women experience lighter periods and symptom relief after surgery.
