Myomectomy (Uterine Fibroid Removal)

Effective Treatment for Uterine Fibroids with a Focus on Uterus Preservation
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Depending on their size, number and location, they may cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain or fertility-related concerns. Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus. Dr. Alankrita Pandey provides personalised evaluation and guidance to help women understand suitable treatment options based on their symptoms, reproductive goals and overall health.

What Is Myomectomy?

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes uterine fibroids without removing the uterus. It may be considered for women experiencing significant symptoms or for selected patients whose fibroids affect their reproductive plans.

The recommended approach depends on factors such as the size, number and location of fibroids, previous treatments and individual health needs.

Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids may cause different symptoms, including:

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding

  • Pelvic pain, pressure or discomfort

  • Abdominal fullness or swelling

  • Frequent urination due to pressure on the bladder

  • Pain during sexual intercourse

  • Difficulty conceiving or certain pregnancy-related complications in some cases

Some women with fibroids may not experience any symptoms and may only require monitoring.
