There are two common types of surgery for lumps (such as fibroids) in the uterus: myomectomy and hysterectomy. Here’s an overview of each: Myomectomy Purpose: Removes fibroids while preserving the uterus. Benefits: Retains fertility: This option is often chosen by women who wish to have children in the future. Alleviates symptoms: Relieves symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. Shorter recovery time compared to hysterectomy: Especially if done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. Hysterectomy Purpose: Removes the entire uterus. Benefits: Permanent solution: Eliminates the possibility of fibroids returning, as the entire uterus is removed. Relief from symptoms: Provides complete relief from symptoms associated with fibroids. Prevents certain cancers: Eliminates the risk of uterine cancer. Considerations Fertility: If you wish to have children in the future, a myomectomy would be the preferred option. Severity and location of fibroids: The choice of surgery can depend on the size, number, and location of the fibroids. Overall health: Your general health and medical history will influence the decision. |
