A myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. This operation aims to relieve symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on nearby organs. Myomectomy can be performed through different methods, including abdominal, laparoscopic, or hysteroscopic techniques, depending on the size and location of the fibroids. The procedure is often chosen by women who wish to preserve their uterus for future pregnancies. Recovery time varies, but many patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, which should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
