Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are also known as myomas, these tumors grow in the uterus are develop in the years when fertility is active and can occur at any age. However, as age progresses, these tumors also become stagnant. Let's take a look at the details in this article.

What is Myoma?

Tumors are sometimes encountered in the female reproductive system, and the most common type of these tumors is called myoma. Myomas are benign tumors and are rooted in the muscle cells of the uterus. Myomas are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Regular checks should only be made by the doctor and these controls should be followed.

Why Myomectomy?

While performing myomectomy, the aim is to remove the myomas, that show different symptoms and cause discomfort, from the uterus and to reconstruct the uterus. Myomectomy and hysterectomy also have a difference. During a hysterectomy uterus completely removed, but during myomectomy only myxomas in uterus are removed.

Before the myomectomy procedure, women feel heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. According to the observations, it is stated that after the myomectomy procedure, there is a serious decrease in heavy menstrual bleeding in women and an improvement in symptoms such as pelvic pressure.

The Need for Myomectomy

Normally, myomas are only taken under control and do not require treatment. However, in some cases, your doctor may recommend a myomectomy to remove myomas. If the myomas are affecting your daily activities and your doctor has decided that you need surgery.
