Fibroid removal surgery, also known as myomectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes uterine fibroids while leaving the uterus intact. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on surrounding organs. Depending on the size and location of the fibroids, myomectomy can be performed using various techniques such as open surgery, laparoscopy, or hysteroscopy. During myomectomy, the surgeon makes incisions in the abdominal wall (open surgery) or uses small incisions and specialized instruments (laparoscopy or hysteroscopy) to access and remove fibroids.
Myomectomy is primarily performed to treat symptomatic fibroids that can lead to issues like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and discomfort, urinary frequency or urgency, pressure on other organs, and fertility issues.
The recovery process after a fibroid removal surgery can vary depending on the surgical approach, individual health, and the size and number of fibroids removed. Rest is a crucial part of the recovery process to ensure proper healing. The healthcare team suggests keeping the incisions clean and dry to prevent infection. Light activities are gradually resumed, as advised by the healthcare provider. Overall, it takes two to four weeks to fully recover after a fibroid removal surgery.
