Uterine Fibroids Treatment

Fibroids are benigen tumours of the uterus made up of fibrous tissue. They arise in the myometrium, protrude in the uterine cavity or outside the uterus. Their size varies from 1 to 30 cm or even more.
When fibroids are present in the myometrium pelvic pain, heavy uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea and infertility are the chief symptoms. It is better to remove fibroids surgically ( myomectomy ) before starting fertility treatment. When fibroids are less than 5 cm and less than 3 in number can be removed by laproscopy. (lap-myomectomy) women with fibroids and infertility have a good chance of conception after myomectomy. Sometimes these myomas regrow and may need repeated surgery
