Myomectomy: A Fertility-Preserving Solution for Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common reproductive health issues among women of childbearing age, often causing heavy periods, pelvic pain, and fertility challenges. At With Dr Avani reddy, the focus is on conservative, uterus-preserving treatments like myomectomy — a surgical procedure that removes fibroids while safeguarding your fertility and hormonal balance.

Understanding Myomectomy and Its Purpose

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus) while leaving the uterus intact. It is ideal for women who wish to preserve their fertility or avoid hysterectomy. Depending on the size, number, and location of fibroids, myomectomy can be performed through laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, or open (abdominal) methods.

Our goal is always to treat fibroids effectively while preserving a woman’s ability to conceive and maintain hormonal health, explains Dr. Avani Reddy, an experienced Gynecologist, Obstetrician, and Fertility Expert in Hyderabad.

Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids often go unnoticed until they cause symptoms that interfere with daily life or fertility. Some warning signs include:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pressure or pain
• Frequent urination
• Lower back pain or bloating
• Difficulty conceiving or maintaining pregnancy

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, an early diagnosis can prevent complications and allow for minimally invasive treatment options like laparoscopic myomectomy.

Types of Myomectomy Procedures

Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A minimally invasive procedure where small incisions and a camera (laparoscope) are used to remove fibroids with minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Ideal for fibroids inside the uterine cavity, this method involves inserting instruments through the vagina and cervix, avoiding external cuts.

Open Myomectomy: Recommended for large or multiple fibroids, this involves a traditional abdominal incision. It’s still fertility-preserving and ensures complete removal when needed.

Benefits of Myomectomy Over Hysterectomy

Unlike hysterectomy, which removes the uterus entirely, myomectomy keeps your uterus intact — an important factor for women planning future pregnancies. Other benefits include:

• Preserved fertility potential
• Improved menstrual regularity
• Reduced pelvic pain and pressure
• Shorter hospital stay with laparoscopic options
• Better emotional and hormonal balance

Post-Surgery Recovery and Care

Recovery after myomectomy depends on the surgical method. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic approaches typically allow patients to resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks, while open surgery may take 4–6 weeks. Dr Avani reddy emphasises follow-up care, gentle physical activity, and balanced nutrition to promote healing and uterine recovery.

“We work closely with each patient post-surgery to ensure full recovery, minimal scarring, and the best outcomes for future conception,” says Dr Avani reddy.

Fertility After Myomectomy

Many women successfully conceive and deliver healthy babies after myomectomy. The procedure not only relieves symptoms but also enhances the chances of natural conception by restoring normal uterine structure. Proper medical evaluation and timed conception, under the guidance of a fertility specialist, are crucial for best results.

With Dr Avani reddy surgical care is paired with lifestyle guidance and reproductive counselling to help women achieve both health and motherhood goals.
