This refers to the removal of fibroids. Fibroids can be positioned in many locations: on the outside of the uterus, in the uterine muscle, and in the lining of the uterus. Removal of fibroids can be accomplished either by operating through the abdomen or by way of hysteroscopy, depending of the size and location of the fibroids.
Fibroids can cause a variety of symptoms including pain, abdominal pressure, bladder irritation, painful intercourse, abnormal bleeding, and difficulty becoming pregnant. When considering treatment for fibroids, it is very important to understand the limitations of each surgical method and to understand the goal of surgery, if necessary.
