Uterine Fibroids

Uterine Fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) tumors that grow from the muscle layers of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are growths of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. More than 90% of females will have developed fibroids in their lifetime. The best part about fibroids is that even if you have fibroids they won't need any treatment till the time they show up symptoms. Fibroids can vary in size, from that of a bean to as large as a melon. Overweight and obese women are at significantly higher risk of developing fibroids, compared to women of normal weight. The medical name for the fibroid removal surgery is myomectomy. The surgery is done either through an abdominal route or through laparoscopic method. The decision of kind of surgery to be done depends upon the size of fibroid and its location. Apart from the fibroid size it is whether the family is complete or not needs to be understood.

Symptoms & Treatment

Myomectomy or fibroid removal surgery is recommended if the fibroids are causing symptoms such as:

Pelvic pain

Heavy Periods

Irregular Bleeding

Frequent Urination

Myomectomy is an option for women with fibroids who wish to get pregnant in the future, or who want to keep their uterus for another reason. Apart from this in case you are having any of the above symptoms due to fibroids and they are hampering the chances of pregnancy then our gynaecologist Dr Balvin Kaur Ghai at IVY Hospital in Mohali, Punjab would recommend you to go for a fibroid surgery with uterus preservation.
