Myomectomy
A myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas) while preserving the uterus. It is the preferred treatment for women who wish to retain their fertility or avoid a hysterectomy. Unlike hysterectomy, myomectomy removes only the fibroids and leaves the uterus intact, making it a fertility-sparing option.
Why Is a Myomectomy Performed?
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination or constipation
Infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
Enlarged uterus or abdominal swelling
Discomfort during sexual activity
