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.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery:
- Less pain and scarring compared to open surgery
- Faster recovery, usually within 2-4 weeks
- Minimal blood loss and lower risk of complications
- Preserves fertility, making it ideal for women who want to conceive
Laparoscopic surgery offers an excellent alternative to traditional open surgery, helping women regain their quality of life with a quicker and smoother recovery.
