Myomectomy

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove fibroids (non-cancerous growths) from the uterus while preserving the organ. This surgery is often recommended for women who are experiencing symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or infertility caused by fibroids. Myomectomy can be performed through various approaches, including abdominal, laparoscopic, or hysteroscopic methods, depending on the size, location, and number of fibroids.

The primary benefit of myomectomy is that it allows women to retain their uterus, which is especially important for those wishing to maintain fertility. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery performed, with minimally invasive methods offering quicker recovery and less scarring. Post-operative care focuses on monitoring for complications and ensuring optimal healing. This procedure can significantly improve a woman’s quality of life and reproductive health.
