Fibroids

Fibroids are benign tumors that form in the uterus, made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. They typically occur in women of reproductive age and can be single or multiple, varying in size. Depending on their location in the uterus, they are classified as intramural, subserosal, submucosal, interligamentary, cervical, or pedunculated.

Many women do not exhibit symptoms, but when they do, they may include pain, bleeding, urinary disturbances, pain during sexual intercourse, or even fertility problems. The exact cause of fibroids is not fully understood, but hormones like estrogen seem to play a role in their development.

Diagnosis is usually made through ultrasound or MRI. Based on the test results, the doctor will decide if simple monitoring (conservative treatment), medication, or surgery is required for removal.

At VF Clinics, the management of fibroids is always handled by specialized doctors and can be either conservative, medicinal, or surgical.

The surgery to remove fibroids (myomectomy) can be performed using various methods, depending on their size and location. Most commonly, it is done either laparoscopically or with open surgery.

During the laparoscopic procedure, the doctor inserts small cameras and tools through small incisions in the abdomen. This allows for precise identification and removal of the fibroids, while avoiding damage to surrounding tissues, and recovery is faster. Once the fibroids are removed, the doctor will monitor the patient’s condition to ensure complete recovery.

The open surgical method requires a larger incision and is often used in more complex cases. The procedure is safe, and most women return to their daily activities within a few days.

The causes are not entirely clear, but hormones and genetic factors may play a role.

Fibroids are benign tumors, but they can cause painful symptoms that require treatment, as well as complications concerning fertility.

The proper monitoring and early treatment are important for the health and well-being of women affected. Treatments include monitoring, medication, and surgery, depending on the case. Regular monitoring is recommended in cases where fibroids are small, asymptomatic, or occur in women close to menopause. Pharmacological options are for more complicated cases and may include the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal medications.

The surgery to remove fibroids (myomectomy) is performed in various ways, depending on their size and location.

Yes, there is a possibility of recurrence, but most women do not experience problems after the surgery.
