Myomectomy in Karnataka

Can I still get pregnant after myomectomy?

Yes, myomectomy is specifically designed to preserve fertility, and many women conceive successfully afterward, though your gynecologist may recommend a waiting period and possibly a planned cesarean depending on the surgery's extent.

Will fibroids grow back after myomectomy?

New fibroids can develop over time, especially in women who have surgery at a younger age, so periodic follow-up with your gynecologist helps monitor for recurrence.

How is myomectomy different from hysterectomy for fibroids?

Myomectomy removes only the fibroids and keeps the uterus intact for future fertility, while hysterectomy removes the entire uterus and is a permanent solution typically chosen when fertility is no longer a concern.

How long is recovery after myomectomy?

Recovery ranges from one to two weeks for minimally invasive approaches to four to six weeks for open abdominal myomectomy, depending on the number and size of fibroids removed.

Is myomectomy a major surgery?

It can range from a relatively minor hysteroscopic procedure to a more involved open surgery depending on fibroid size, number, and location, and your gynecologist will recommend the least invasive option suitable for your case.
