Fibroid Treatment in Indirapuram | Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Overview

Fibroids are classified by location: submucosal (inside the cavity, most likely to cause heavy bleeding and affect fertility), intramural (within the wall) and subserosal (on the outer surface, more likely to cause pressure symptoms). Size, number, location, your age, symptoms and whether you plan a pregnancy all shape the treatment recommendation.

Symptoms of fibroids

Heavy or prolonged periods, sometimes with clots and anaemia
Pelvic pressure, fullness or a visible bulge in the lower abdomen
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation or backache
Pain during intercourse
Difficulty conceiving or recurrent miscarriage (particularly submucosal fibroids)

Why fibroids develop

Oestrogen and progesterone stimulate fibroid growth — which is why they grow in the reproductive years and shrink after menopause
Family history, early first period and never having been pregnant increase the likelihood

Evaluation

Pelvic examination and ultrasound to map the number, size and location
MRI for complex or large fibroids, or before planning surgery
Haemoglobin and iron studies
Hysteroscopy for suspected submucosal fibroids

Treatment options

Observation with periodic scans for small, symptom-free fibroids
Medical treatment — tranexamic acid, hormonal pills, progesterone IUD, GnRH analogues to shrink fibroids before surgery
Hysteroscopic myomectomy for submucosal fibroids (no external incision)
Laparoscopic myomectomy — keyhole removal preserving the uterus for women who want future pregnancy
Laparoscopic or open hysterectomy when family is complete and symptoms are severe

Frequently asked questions

Can fibroids turn into cancer?

Fibroids are benign. The rare cancerous growth of the uterine muscle (leiomyosarcoma) is not believed to arise from fibroids. Rapid growth after menopause should be evaluated.

Will fibroids affect my pregnancy?

Most women with fibroids have normal pregnancies. Large or cavity-distorting fibroids can raise the risk of miscarriage, breech position or bleeding, which is why they are assessed before and during pregnancy.

Can I avoid surgery?

Often, yes — many fibroids are managed with medication or simply monitored. Surgery is advised when symptoms are significant or fertility is affected.
