Uterine Fibroid
Uterine fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths of the muscle wall of the uterus that commonly appear during childbearing years. Although they do not increase the risk of uterine cancer, fibroids can cause significant clinical complications. Depending on their size, number, and location (subserosal, intramural, or submucosal), they can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination, backaches, and reproductive difficulties such as recurrent miscarriage or infertility.
At Nova IVF, we perform Laparoscopic Myomectomy—a fertility-preserving surgery to remove uterine fibroids while keeping the uterus fully intact. Using high-definition laparoscopic visualization, our specialized gynaecological surgeons make precise keyhole incisions to extract the fibroids and carefully reconstruct the uterine wall. This is a critical treatment for women who experience symptomatic fibroids and wish to preserve their uterus for future pregnancies. The minimally invasive approach ensures rapid healing, minimal blood loss, fewer adhesions, and a faster return to daily activities.
Key Advantages of Uterine Fibroid Surgery:
- Uterus Preserved — removes only the fibroids, keeping the uterus intact for women desiring future conception and pregnancy.
- Restores Fertility — removes fibroids blocking the uterine cavity or fallopian tubes, improving embryo implantation rates.
- Relieves Symptoms — provides immediate and permanent relief from heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and anemia.
- Minimally Invasive — performed via microscopic keyhole incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal bleeding, and minor scars.
- Quick Recovery — patients typically return home within 24 hours and resume normal daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
