Myomectomy

Surgical option which involves cutting out one or more of the fibroids. Myomectomy may be a good option depending upon the size, number, and location of the fibroid tumors, but does not get to the root of the problem. The more fibroids present, the less successful the myomectomy surgery which occasionally may result in a hysterectomy. Depending upon extent of the surgery, recovery time can be days or weeks. Like uterine fibroid embolization, a myomectomy can preserve the woman’s ability to have future pregnancy.
