Fibroids and Laparoscopic Treatment: A Minimally Invasive Solution

By Aster Speciality Clinic / February 10, 2025

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are common in women of reproductive age and can vary in size, from tiny seedlings to large masses that distort the uterus. While some fibroids cause no symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and fertility issues.

Causes and Diagnosis

The exact cause of fibroids is unknown, but factors like hormonal imbalance (estrogen and progesterone), genetics, and lifestyle may contribute to their growth. They are often diagnosed through ultrasound, MRI, or hysteroscopy.

Laparoscopic Treatment for Fibroids

For women experiencing severe symptoms, laparoscopic myomectomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus. During this procedure, a surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and uses a camera-assisted instrument to remove the fibroids.
