Myomectomy

A myomectomy is a type of surgery that entails the removal of uterine fibroids, otherwise referred to as leiomyomas. These growths that do not cause cancer are common, and they usually occur when a woman is still able to bear children but can also appear at any other age. Instead of a hysterectomy where the whole uterus is taken out, this procedure focuses on the excision of just the fibroids while preserving the uterus. This makes myomectomy ideal for women who wish to become pregnant again.

As its main goal, myomectomy seeks to relieve symptoms brought about by these tumors including too much bleeding during menstruation periods, pelvic pain and pressure in the abdomen. In carrying out this operation, the physician holds double by removing all fibroids with utmost care before reconstructing it so as to keep it working normally thereafter. The surgery may be done through various approaches including abdominal laparoscopy or hysteroscopy depending on how big or many they are and their location inside the person’s womb.

Women who have had myomectomy often notice a great reduction in their distressing symptoms and their life becomes better in general. If you are considering having a myomectomy done, you should consult your doctor concerning its advantages, possible risks that may arise from it as well as what would be more appropriate for your specific case if you want to have kids someday
