Myomectomy Surgery

Uterine fibroids, also known as myomas or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility issues. Myomectomy surgery is a procedure to remove these fibroids while preserving the uterus. For expert care and advanced treatment options, consult the top gynaecologists at CK Birla Hospital.
What is Myomectomy Surgery?
Myomectomy is a widely used and highly effective surgical procedure which is performed to remove uterine fibroids. It is the preferred treatment for women who wish to retain their uterus and maintain fertility. Unlike hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the entire uterus, myomectomy focuses on excising only the fibroids, allowing for future pregnancies.

CK Birla Hospital
  • Intramural Fibroids: Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.
  • Subserosal Fibroids: This type of fibroid grows on the outer surface of the uterus. As it grows it potentially puts pressure on adjacent organs and results in sometimes excruciating pain.
  • Submucosal Fibroids: Develop just beneath the lining of the uterine cavity, leading to heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding.
  • Pedunculated Fibroids: Attached to the uterus by a stalk, these can cause pain if the stalk twists.
  • Degenerating Fibroids: A fibroid turns degenerate when it outgrows its blood supply, causing severe pain and sometimes fever.
  • Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: This is a minimally invasive procedure where fibroids are removed using a hysteroscope from the vaginal area and the cervix .
  • Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Minimally invasive surgery involving small incisions in the abdomen through which fibroids are removed with the help of a laparoscope.
  • Abdominal Myomectomy: An open surgical procedure where an incision is made in the abdomen to remove large or multiple fibroids.
  • Robotic Myomectomy: A highly precise myomectomy performed using state-of-the-art robotic assisted equipment.
  • Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Can lead to anaemia and fatigue.
  • Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain and discomfort affecting daily activities.
  • Fertility Problems: Fibroids often tend to interfere with normal uterine functions such as conception and pregnancy.
  • Bladder and Bowel Issues: Pressure on adjacent organs causing urinary and gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Pregnancy Complications: Increased risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and complications during labour.

 

  • Regular Medical Check-Ups: Early detection and management of fibroids.
  • Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Weight Management: Keeping a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of fibroids.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity to maintain overall health.
  • Monitor Symptoms: Keep track of menstrual irregularities and pelvic pain.

Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

For accurate detection of uterine fibroids, a thorough medical examination by a gynaecologist is essential. The doctor will review your medical history and may recommend the following tests:

  • Pelvic Ultrasound: To visualise the fibroids and assess their size and location.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): For detailed imaging of the pelvic organs.
  • Hysteroscopy: Allows direct visualisation of the uterine cavity and fibroids.

Pre-Treatment/Surgery Instructions

  • Follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
  • Avoid consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
  • Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before surgery.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home post-surgery.

Post-Surgery Instructions

  • The patient will be observed for a few hours post-surgery.
  • Hospital discharge typically occurs on the same day or the next day, depending on the surgery type and recovery progress.
  • Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor recovery.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and follow a balanced diet to aid recovery.

Recovery After Myomectomy Surgery

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Generally, patients can expect:

  • Initial recovery within 1-2 weeks for minimally invasive surgery.
  • Full recovery and return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks.
  • Improvement in symptoms and overall quality of life after the initial recovery phase.
