Overview

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove fibroids from the uterus. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility. Myomectomy is used to treat a wide range of symptoms and fertility issues associated with fibroids. The procedure can be done laparoscopically or through abdominal incisions, depending on the size and location of the fibroids. Myomectomy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive method to remove fibroids with minimal scarring or complications. It is also an option for fertility preservation, especially in women who plan to get pregnant in the future.
