MYOMECTOMY
A myomectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing fibroids, which are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus. This operation is typically performed to alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility issues linked to the presence of fibroids. Myomectomies can be executed through various techniques including abdominal myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, and hysteroscopic myomectomy. The choice of method depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids as well as the patient's overall health and reproductive goals. Unlike a hysterectomy, which involves the complete removal of the uterus, a myomectomy preserves the uterus, offering women the possibility of future pregnancies.
Recovery from a myomectomy varies based on the type of procedure performed. Abdominal myomectomy, being more invasive, typically requires a longer recovery period, with patients often needing four to six weeks to fully recuperate. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomies, being less invasive, generally involve shorter recovery times, often around two to four weeks. Post-surgical care involves managing pain, avoiding heavy lifting, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Despite the potential for fibroids to recur, a successful myomectomy can significantly improve a woman's quality of life by reducing symptoms and enhancing fertility prospects.
