Myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. This operation can help alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or rectum. Myomectomy can be performed through different methods, including laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or open surgery, depending on the size and location of the fibroids. The main goal of myomectomy is to preserve the uterus, allowing women who wish to maintain their fertility the chance to conceive in the future. Recovery times vary, but many women can return to their normal activities within a few weeks after the procedure.
