Myomectomy

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids—noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus—while preserving the uterus itself.

What it treats

Myomectomy is typically recommended if fibroids are causing:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Frequent urination

• Fertility problems or pregnancy complications

Fibroids themselves are medically called Uterine fibroids.

Type of myomectomy done in-office

Hysteroscopic myomectomy

• No external incision

• Fibroids are removed through the vagina and cervix

• Only works for fibroids inside the uterus

Why choose myomectomy instead of hysterectomy?

Unlike a Hysterectomy, a myomectomy:

• Preserves the uterus

• Keeps the possibility of pregnancy

• Maintains normal hormonal function
