Intro
Living with fibroids can feel exhausting, especially when symptoms start to affect your energy and comfort in everyday life.
You might be dealing with heavy periods, bloating, pressure, or pain that makes even simple routines feel harder than they should.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Fibroids are very common, and many women experience them at some point in their lives.
While they are usually non-cancerous, the symptoms can still have a real impact on how you feel physically and emotionally.
Myomectomy is a treatment designed to remove fibroids while keeping the uterus intact.
For many women, this means finding relief from symptoms while still preserving future options.
This is about helping you feel more comfortable in your body again, with support when you need it and clear guidance to help you decide what's right for you.
What It Is?
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove fibroids from the uterus.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can vary in size and location, and may cause symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure.
Unlike a hysterectomy, this procedure keeps the uterus in place, which may be important for women who wish to retain fertility or avoid removal of the womb.
The approach used will depend on the size, number, and position of the fibroids, and your specialist will guide you through the most suitable option.
Submucous Fibroid (Myoma) Treatment
Some fibroids develop inside the cavity of the uterus.
These are called submucous fibroids, or myomas, and they are often linked to heavy bleeding or irregular periods.
For smaller fibroids in this location, a less invasive approach may be suitable.
This is usually performed using a hysteroscopic technique, where a small instrument is passed through the vagina to access and remove the fibroid without external incisions.
This approach is typically quicker, with a shorter recovery time compared to more complex procedures.
Your specialist will assess whether this option is suitable based on the size and position of the fibroid.

Is This Right For You?
You might be considering myomectomy if you're experiencing symptoms such as heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pain, bloating, or a feeling of pressure in your lower abdomen.
For some women, fibroids can also cause fatigue or affect bladder or bowel habits, which can become increasingly difficult to manage over time.
These symptoms are often linked to uterine fibroids and can gradually begin to impact your daily routine, work, or social life.
You may have already tried other treatments or been advised to explore surgical options.
If your symptoms are affecting how you feel physically or emotionally, it may be worth exploring whether this treatment is right for you.
