Frequently Asked Questions

A myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids (benign tumours) from the uterus while preserving the uterus itself.

Myomectomy is done to alleviate symptoms caused by fibroids, like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure, and fertility issues.

A hysterectomy completely removes the uterus, whereas myomectomy only removes the fibroids, leaving the uterus intact.

There are three main types of myomectomy: abdominal myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, and hysteroscopic myomectomy. The choice depends on factors like size, location, and number of fibroids.

Potential risks of myomectomy include bleeding, infection, damage to nearby organs, adhesions, and complications related to anaesthesia.

Yes, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomies are minimally invasive procedures, resulting in smaller incisions, less scarring, and faster recovery compared to open abdominal myomectomy. Additionally, with recent advancements in technology, robotic-assisted surgery is also an option.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of myomectomy and individual factors. Patients can expect to recover anywhere between a few days to some weeks before resuming normal activities.

Although fibroids can recur after myomectomy, the likelihood of regrowth is generally low. Discuss long-term management and follow-up care with your doctor.

Yes, myomectomy can improve fertility in some cases by removing fibroids that obstruct the fallopian tubes or interfere with implantation. However, it does not guarantee pregnancy, and individual factors play a role.

Myomectomy during pregnancy is generally avoided due to the risk of complications, such as bleeding or preterm labour. It is usually recommended to wait until after delivery.

Pain and discomfort are common after myomectomy, but it can be managed with pain medications. Follow your doctor's instructions for pain management.

It can range from a day or two for minimally invasive procedures to several days for open abdominal myomectomy. The duration of hospital stay depends on individual factors and the type of myomectomy.

In many cases, myomectomy can improve heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding caused by fibroids. However, individual experiences may vary.

Yes, myomectomy can be performed even if you have multiple fibroids. The surgeon will assess the best approach based on the characteristics and locations of the fibroids.

Alternative treatments for fibroids include medication to manage symptoms, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and focused ultrasound surgery (FUS).

The duration of myomectomy depends on factors like size, number, and location of the fibroids. It can range from a couple of hours for a simple procedure to several hours for complex cases.

Yes, myomectomy can be performed even for large fibroids. The surgical approach varies based on the size and location of the fibroids.

In most cases, myomectomy does not significantly impact future pregnancies. However, discuss your specific situation with your doctor to understand any potential risks or considerations.

Nonsurgical alternatives for fibroid treatment include medication to manage symptoms and nonsurgical procedures like uterine artery embolization (UAE) and focused ultrasound surgery (FUS).

To find a qualified surgeon, ask for recommendations from your primary care doctor or gynecologist. It is important to choose an experienced surgeon with expertise in performing myomectomies.
