Myomectomy: Surgery to Remove Fibroids While Keeping the Uterus

-

If you've been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you may have heard about myomectomy – a surgical procedure that removes fibroids while preserving your uterus. This is especially important for women who wish to have children in the future or want to keep their uterus intact.

What is Myomectomy?

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove fibroids (non-cancerous growths) from the uterus while leaving the uterus itself in place. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes the entire uterus, myomectomy focuses only on removing the problematic fibroids, allowing you to maintain your fertility and uterine health.

Who Needs a Myomectomy?

Your doctor may recommend myomectomy if you experience heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or difficulty conceiving due to fibroids. Women with conditions like PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) may also develop fibroids and benefit from this procedure. The surgery is ideal for women who want to preserve their ability to become pregnant or simply wish to keep their uterus.

Types of Myomectomy

There are three main approaches: Abdominal myomectomy involves a larger incision in the lower abdomen and is used for large or multiple fibroids. Laparoscopic myomectomy uses small incisions and specialized instruments for a minimally invasive approach with faster recovery. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is performed through the vagina and cervix, suitable for fibroids inside the uterine cavity.

Recovery and Benefits

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures typically offer quicker recovery with less pain and smaller scars. Most women can return to normal activities within 2-6 weeks. The major benefit of myomectomy is that it treats fibroid symptoms while preserving your uterus and fertility potential.

Dr. Rukmini Sowmya is here to guide you with practical tips to make this experience comfortable and successful.
