Uterine fibroid removal surgery is required in cases where the presence of fibroids causes symptoms or complications. Some reasons why myomectomy may be required include:

  • Symptoms: Uterine fibroids can cause various symptoms, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, and constipation. In cases of severe symptoms, uterine fibroid removal may be recommended to alleviate these issues.

  • Fertility Concerns: Uterine fibroids may interfere with fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes, altering the shape of the uterus, or affecting embryo implantation. It is recommended for women who want to conceive but have uterine fibroids affecting fertility.

  • Pelvic Pain: Uterine fibroids can cause pelvic pain or discomfort. Removal may be recommended for females experiencing pain that does not respond to other treatments.

  • Pregnancy Complications: Large uterine fibroids may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. In some cases, removal of fibroids may be recommended before attempting to conceive to reduce the risk of complications.

  • Pressure on Surrounding Organs: Large uterine fibroids can exert pressure on nearby organs, such as the bladder or rectum, leading to urinary or bowel symptoms. Uterine fibroid removal may be recommended to relieve pressure and improve symptoms.

The type of surgery performed depends on the patient's age, overall health, and the number, size, and location of the fibroids.The most common types of uterine fibroid removal procedures include:

  1. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope. The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix to remove fibroids located inside the uterus. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is typically recommended for small and submucosal fibroids.

  2. Laparoscopic Myomectomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves small incisions in the abdomen and a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to remove fibroids located inside or outside the uterus. It is generally recommended for larger or deeper fibroids.

  3. Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Myomectomy: Similar to laparoscopic myomectomy, this procedure involves the use of a robotic system to control the instruments, offering greater precision and flexibility.

  4. Laparotomy: This is an open surgery that requires a larger incision in the abdomen to remove fibroids. It is usually recommended for very large or multiple fibroids or if other procedures are not feasible.

Here are some steps you may take in consultation with your gynecologist to prepare for uterine fibroid removal surgery:

  1. Fasting: Your gynecologist may instruct you to fast for a few hours before the surgery.

  2. Medical History: Notify your gynecologist about your medical history, ongoing issues, or any allergic reactions.

  3. Medications and Supplements: Inform your gynecologist about any medications, vitamins, or dietary supplements you are taking.

  4. Anesthesia: Depending on your procedure, you may receive anesthesia.

  5. Intravenous Line (IV): Your healthcare provider will insert an intravenous line into a vein in your arm or hand to administer fluids and medication during surgery.

  6. Monitoring: A monitor will be attached to measure your heart rate and other vital signs throughout the surgery.

You may be a candidate for uterine fibroid removal if you are experiencing the following symptoms:

  • Pelvic pain and pressure

  • Heavy and painful periods

  • Irregular bleeding

  • Frequent urination

Additionally, uterine fibroid removal may be considered if:

  • You desire to become pregnant in the future

  • You wish to preserve your fertility

Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Symptom Reduction: Uterine fibroid removal helps reduce symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, pelvic pain, and discomfort, ultimately improving daily activities and overall well-being.

  • Improved Urinary and Bowel Function: The procedure can enhance urinary and bowel function.

  • Increased Fertility Chances: For women struggling to conceive, the removal of uterine fibroids can improve fertility chances.

  • Reduced Pregnancy Risks: Fibroid removal minimizes risks such as miscarriage, premature birth, or malpresentation, leading to improved pregnancy outcomes.

  • Sense of Relief: Uterine fibroid removal provides a sense of relief from both symptoms and potential complications.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life: By relieving symptoms and addressing potential complications, fibroid removal contributes to an overall enhancement of quality of life.

Here are some things you can expect after uterine fibroid removal:

  • Pain or discomfort around the incision sites, especially with an open abdominal myomectomy.

  • Vaginal bleeding and discharge

  • Nausea

  • Dizziness

The cost of uterine fibroid removal can be influenced by various factors, including:

  • The chosen treatment method

  • The complexity of the procedure

  • The surgeon's experience and expertise

  • Geographical location of the hospital where the surgery is performed

  • Pre-operative diagnostic tests

  • Post-operative care

  • Anesthesia fees

  • Type of insurance coverage

Before undergoing uterine fibroid removal surgery, it is essential to discuss cost-related concerns with your healthcare provider.

 

Uterine fibroid removal (myomectomy) is generally considered a safe procedure, but like any surgery, it comes with potential risks and complications. These may include:

  • Bleeding: Excessive bleeding after surgery is a possible risk, especially in the case of multiple fibroids.

  • Infection: There is a risk of infection at the site of incision or in the pelvic area.

  • Scar Tissue Formation: The formation of scar tissue in the pelvic region may occur and potentially cause pain.

  • Injury to Adjacent Organs: There is a small risk of unintentional damage to nearby organs, such as the bladder or bowel, during surgery.

  • Reoccurrence of Fibroids: In some cases, new fibroids may develop after surgery, necessitating further treatment.

  • Adverse Reaction to Anesthesia: There is a possibility of anesthesia-related complications, such as an allergic reaction or respiratory issues.

Here are some precautions you should take after the removal of uterine fibroids:

  • Avoid strenuous activities such as biking, jogging, weightlifting, and aerobic exercises.

  • Take all prescribed medications on time.

  • Avoid taking a bath for at least one week after the surgery.

  • Take adequate rest.

  • Depending on the type of surgery, you can typically resume daily activities within two to six weeks.

  • If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding or any signs of infection, consult your doctor immediately.
