Myomectomy

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. It is usually performed to relieve symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. The potential causes of uterine fibroids are not clear, but they are believed to be related to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and environmental influences. Risk factors for fibroids include age, family history, obesity, and early onset of menstruation. Myomectomy is a common treatment option for women who want to preserve their fertility and avoid a hysterectomy.
