What Is Myomectomy? How Is It Performed While Preserving the Uterus?
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure in which fibroids in the uterus are removed while the uterus is preserved. It is one of the most important treatment options, especially for women who wish to have children. With this method, both the symptoms caused by fibroids are eliminated and the patient’s fertility potential is maintained.
Fibroids can cause problems such as menstrual irregularities, heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, a feeling of pressure, and infertility, depending on their size and location. Fibroids located close to the uterine cavity may reduce the chances of pregnancy by making it difficult for the embryo to implant. Therefore, surgical removal of fibroids is recommended in suitable patients.
Myomectomy can be performed either through open surgery or laparoscopic methods. The laparoscopic approach offers a more comfortable recovery process for the patient, as it is performed through smaller incisions. During the operation, fibroids are carefully removed, and the uterine tissue is meticulously repaired.
In the post-operative period, the healing of the uterine structure is monitored. In patients planning pregnancy, conception may be recommended after a certain period. This period may vary depending on the extent of the procedure performed.
At the Cyprus American IVF Center, myomectomy procedures are carried out by experienced specialists with a fertility-preserving approach. An individualized treatment plan is created for each patient, and the most appropriate surgical method is determined.
If you have been diagnosed with fibroids and are planning pregnancy, the right treatment approach is of great importance.
