Myoma Surgeries

Fibroids are benign tumors located in the uterus and typically grow in response to hormones. Monitoring and treatment of fibroids depend on their size, symptoms, impact on quality of life, and the patient’s overall health. Here is a general explanation of monitoring and treating fibroids:

Monitoring Fibroids:

• Monitoring fibroids is usually done regularly by a doctor. During the monitoring process, the uterus is examined using ultrasound (USG) to determine the size, number, and location of the fibroids.
• Regular follow-ups help track the growth rate of the fibroids and assess the development of symptoms. It is important to have examinations and imaging tests as frequently as recommended by your doctor.

Fibroid Surgeries:

• The treatment of fibroids is determined based on the severity of symptoms, the size of the fibroids, and their impact on the patient's quality of life. Surgery may be necessary to control symptoms or remove the fibroids.
• Types of fibroid surgeries include: a. Myomectomy: The surgical removal of fibroids. This method is preferred for women who wish to maintain their fertility or control symptoms. b. Endometrial Ablation: The procedure involves burning or removing the lining of the uterus. This method is chosen for women with symptoms such as uterine bleeding. c. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: The removal of fibroids growing inside the uterus using a hysteroscopic method. This procedure is generally suitable for small fibroids.

Post-Surgery Care and Considerations:

• Follow the post-surgery monitoring plan as recommended by your doctor. Regular examinations and imaging tests are important.
• During the post-surgery period, ensure proper rest, pay attention to the recovery process, take prescribed medications regularly, and monitor any symptoms.
• If you notice any potential complications or changes in symptoms after surgery, contact your doctor immediately.

Each patient's need for fibroid treatment and approach may vary. Therefore, follow your doctor's recommendations to determine your treatment plan and adhere to regular follow-up and monitoring processes.
