Symptoms for Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery

Fibroid growth on the inner lining of the uterus can result in various symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding and menstruation that lasts for more than seven days. Patients may complain about pain in the spine or leg, pain during intercourse, difficulty emptying the bladder, frequent urination, and constipation. These symptoms prompt physicians to conduct an extensive diagnosis before recommending Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery. 

Diagnosis for Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery

Physicians resort to a thorough medical checkup, a pelvic exam, MRI, ultrasound, and CT Scan. 

Hysteroscopy involves the use of a hysteroscope with a camera at the end that is inserted through the cervix into the uterus to visualize the presence of fibroids, location and size. 

Based on these, physicians will recommend hysteroscopic myomectomy. 

Treatment and procedure of Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery

  • The surgery team administers a local anesthetic to the patient. 
  • The surgeon then inserts a hysteroscope which is a thin lighted tube with a camera at the end into the uterus through the vagina and cervix. 
  • Specialized instruments are introduced through the hysteroscope into the uterus to excise the fibroids. 
  • The entire procedure is visible on a screen and the surgeon can control the instruments to remove all fibroids, and then to check that nothing remains. 
  • The surgeon then removes the hysteroscope and the patient is discharged after an hour or so.  
  • Hysteroscopic myomectomy is minimally invasive as compared to open surgery and patients recover in a shorter time. 
  • Patients may resume normal activities after a few days or a week based on healing and the extent of fibroids. 
  • It can be seen that the symptoms vanish and a woman may be able to become pregnant. 

Success of Hysteroscopic Myomectomy Surgery

The success rate is high, but it is also dependent on the extent of the fibroids and the size, as well as the skill of the surgeon. 

In a majority of cases the patients recover and resume a normal life, relieved of the symptoms they use to experience prior to the procedure. 

They can even look forward to becoming mothers.
