Myoma removal using hysteroscopy
What are fibroids?
Fibroids are benign formations that develop in the muscular layer of the uterus. They can cause a variety of symptoms, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, abdominal pain, and reproductive issues. Removing fibroids can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and prevent potential complications.
Hysteroscopic myoma removal is an excellent alternative to removing the entire uterus, which was commonly performed in most women with submucosal fibroids until recently.
Preparation for the Procedure
Before the procedure, you need to take a complete blood test, undergo a pelvic ultrasound, consult a therapist or family doctor, and perform an ECG. These tests help assess your overall health and identify potential contraindications to the procedure.
How is the Procedure Performed?
- Anesthesia: For your comfort, the procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.
- Insertion of the Hysteroscope: The hysteroscope is carefully inserted through the vagina into the uterus, allowing for a clear image on the monitor.
- Removal of Fibroids: Using special instruments inserted through the hysteroscope, the fibroids are removed with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
- Completion of the Procedure: You will be allowed to rest under medical supervision.
Postoperative Period
After the procedure, mild lower abdominal pain and slight bloody discharge may occur for several days. You will be advised to take oral painkillers. It is important to avoid heavy physical activity for 10 days after the operation.
Advantages of Hysteroscopic Fibroid Removal
- Minimally invasive: The procedure does not require large incisions, reducing the risk of complications and shortening the recovery period.
- Precision: Hysteroscopy allows for the precise removal of fibroids without damaging surrounding tissues.
- Quick recovery: Most patients can return to normal life within a few days after the procedure.
- No need to remove the entire uterus: The ability to preserve reproductive and menstrual functions.
Hysteroscopic fibroid removal is a safe and effective method that helps alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
