Myomectomy (Fibroid Removal)
A surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus.
A myomectomy is performed to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus, often preferred by women who wish to retain fertility. Depending on the size, number, and location of fibroids, the procedure may be performed laparoscopically or via open surgery. It is an effective treatment for fibroid-related symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure.
Related Conditions
Myomas (fibroids) are incredibly common with some studies estimating that 70-80% of women will have a fibroid at some stage of their lives. A fibroid is a benign (non-cancerous) growth of muscle that is found in or around the uterus. It may be any size and shape. We do not know why women get fibroids, though it is likely that a combination of factors contribute, such as genetics, hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone and the number of children you have had.
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), or menorrhagia, is when your periods are heavier or last longer than normal. It can affect your quality of life and may lead to symptoms like fatigue or iron deficiency.
