Myomectomy

Fibroids can cause pressure, discomfort, and imbalance. A myomectomy removes them while keeping the uterus intact, offering relief without affecting future pregnancy options. The goal is straightforward: take out the problem and protect the rest.

Why This Surgery Helps

Fibroids are non-cancerous, but they can still take over your comfort. They can push on your bladder, stretch your belly, or make periods unpredictable and draining. Some women feel constant pressure. Others notice pain during sex or difficulty conceiving.

A myomectomy targets only the fibroids, not the womb. This makes it a strong choice when you want symptoms gone but want the uterus to stay.

How We Understand Your Fibroids

Every woman’s fibroids behave differently. Before planning the surgery, our specialist takes a close look using scans and a simple discussion. You talk about your symptoms. You explain what you hope to fix.

We make sure we know the size, number, and location of the fibroids, because these details shape the safest approach.

No fast decisions. No pressure to choose surgery if you are unsure.

Ways of Surgery

A myomectomy does not follow one single method. Your doctor chooses the one that fits your situation, not the other way around.

Common options include:

  • Laparoscopic: Small cuts, slim instruments, quicker recovery.
  • Hysteroscopic: Through the vagina and cervix, no external cut, ideal for fibroids inside the cavity.
  • Open abdominal: A larger incision when fibroids are many, deep, or very large.

Whichever method is used, the goal stays the same: remove the fibroids cleanly and restore the shape of the uterus.

Recovery and Healing

Recovery timelines vary. Some women return home the same day. Others rest in the hospital for a short period.

Common options include:

  • Slow walking
  • A few days of soreness or bloating
  • Limited lifting
  • A follow-up visit to check the healing

Over the next few weeks, the pressure eases. Periods often become lighter and more regular. Daily comfort returns step by step.

What Women Often Gain

Many women report brighter energy, fewer disruptions, and a sense of relief they had not felt in years. Removing fibroids can improve fertility, ease pelvic pain, and reduce bleeding that once controlled their schedules. Life feels less tense. Movements feel easier. The body feels more like it used to.
