Myomectomy: Surgery to Remove Fibroids While Keeping the Uterus

-

If you've been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you might be worried about your treatment options. The good news is that myomectomy offers a solution that removes fibroids while preserving your uterus – especially important if you're planning to have children in the future.

What is Myomectomy?

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes fibroids (non-cancerous growths) from your uterus while keeping the uterus intact. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes the entire uterus, myomectomy allows you to maintain your fertility and keep your womb.

Who Needs a Myomectomy?

Your doctor may recommend myomectomy if you have fibroids that cause:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Severe pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying your bladder
• Difficulty getting pregnant or recurrent miscarriages
• An enlarged abdomen

This procedure is particularly suitable for women who wish to preserve their fertility or prefer to keep their uterus for personal reasons.

Types of Myomectomy

Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera. This means faster recovery and smaller scars.

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Performed through the vagina and cervix, with no external incisions. Ideal for fibroids inside the uterine cavity.

Abdominal Myomectomy: Done through a larger abdominal incision, typically for multiple or large fibroids.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time depends on the type of procedure. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic methods usually allow you to return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks, while abdominal myomectomy may require 4-6 weeks of recovery.

Most women experience significant relief from fibroid symptoms after myomectomy. Many also successfully conceive and carry pregnancies to term, though doctors typically recommend waiting 3-6 months before trying to conceive.

PCOS and Acne: How Hormones Affect Your Skin

-
If you've been struggling with persistent acne, especially along your jawline and chin, and it seems to worsen around your periods, hormones might be the hidden culprit. For many women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), acne isn't just a teenage problem—it's an ongoing challenge that affects confidence and quality of life. Understanding the PCOS-Acne Connection PCOS affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in India. One of its most visible symptoms is hormonal acne. But why does this happen? In PCOS, your body produces higher levels of androgens (male hormones that women also have in smaller amounts). These excess androgens trigger your oil glands to produce more sebum. This extra oil, combined with dead skin cells, clogs your pores and creates the perfect environment for acne-causing bacteria to thrive. How PCOS Acne is Different Hormonal acne from PCOS has some distinct characteristics: - Appears mainly on the lower face, jawline, chin, and neck - Often...
