Uterine Fibroid Surgery

Uterine fibroid surgery involves the removal of non-cancerous growths, known as fibroids, from the uterus. These fibroids can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms that affect a woman's quality of life. The surgery aims to alleviate these issues while preserving the uterus, if possible. Two common methods are myomectomy, which removes the fibroids, and hysterectomy, which removes the entire uterus. The choice of surgery depends on factors like the size and number of fibroids, symptoms, and the woman’s reproductive plans. Recovery varies, and it’s essential to discuss options with a healthcare provider.
