Uterine Fibroid

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. They vary widely in size and number, and while many fibroids cause no symptoms at all, others can lead to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, or difficulty conceiving, depending on their size and location.

Treatment Methods :

Depending on the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids, treatment options may include:

• Laparoscopic Myomectomy – A minimally invasive procedure to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus, commonly used for suitable cases where fertility needs to be maintained.

• Open Myomectomy – A traditional surgical approach to remove fibroids, typically used for larger or multiple fibroids not suitable for a laparoscopic approach.

• Hysteroscopic Myomectomy – Removal of fibroids located inside the uterine cavity using a scope passed through the vagina and cervix, without any external incisions.

• Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus along with the fibroids, considered for women with severe symptoms who have completed their family or where fibroid preservation isn't suitable.

The appropriate treatment is decided after evaluation by a qualified gynecologist/surgeon.

Eligibility & Age

Treatment is generally considered for women with fibroids causing heavy bleeding, pain, pressure symptoms, or fertility concerns, particularly when conservative or medical treatments have not provided sufficient relief.

There is no fixed age limit for fibroid treatment. Suitability depends on the patient's overall health, size and location of the fibroids, fertility plans, and the specific procedure being considered.

Conclusion

Uterine fibroids are common and highly treatable, but the right approach depends on individual symptoms and future fertility plans. Early evaluation by a qualified gynecologist can help determine whether monitoring, medication, or surgery is appropriate for you.
