Myomectomy Surgery
At Woodlands OBGYN Associates, we understand that making the decision to have gynecological surgery before becoming pregnant can be a scary one, especially for women who still desire to have children. A myomectomy is an effective surgical procedure that is performed to remove uterine fibroids, or “myomas”. Unlike a hysterectomy, where the uterus is also removed along with the fibroids, in a myomectomy, the uterus is left intact, minus the fibroids. Ultimately, this allows women to preserve their options.
Surgical Myomectomy Options @Woodlands OBGYN
Myomectomy is the preferred surgical treatment for removing fibroids in women who want to become pregnant. Once the decision is made, most women anticipate how myomectomy surgery will change their quality of life. In most cases, the heavy menstrual flow and painful cramps decrease.
At Woodlands OBGYN, we offer various methods for removing fibroids. Such methods include: laparoscopy and laparotomy (abdominal incision). The choice will be dependent on several factors, such as the size of the fibroid(s), location(s), and number.
Although a laparotomy may require a longer recovery time, in some cases it may maximize your chances for future pregnancy. There are multiple factors your physician will consider before recommending a treatment plan.
