Fibroid & Myomectomy Procedures

Removing Fibroids While Keeping the Uterus

Fibroid and myomectomy procedures surgically remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus and fertility where possible. In Istanbul the plan depends on fibroid size, number and position, and on whether a future pregnancy matters to you.

• Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pressure or difficulty conceiving
• The uterus is preserved where possible, which is not the same as a hysterectomy
• Not every fibroid needs an operation, and some are watched

Fertility Considered Where Possible

At Estecenter the phrase where possible is taken seriously: some fibroids can be removed with the uterus left in place, and some situations do not allow that. The gynaecologist explains which route is realistic before you consent.

• A wish for pregnancy changes how the operation is discussed
• Keyhole or open surgery may be considered, chosen for the fibroids rather than by habit
• Risks to the uterus and to later pregnancy are part of the conversation

How Myomectomy Planning Is Organised

Scans, examination and a clear account of alternatives come before a date is offered. You are told how recovery differs with the type of operation and when review will happen.

• Ultrasound or other imaging maps the fibroids before a method is named
• Blood count and symptoms of pressure or bleeding are recorded
• Consent covers what may be preserved and what can be judged only during surgery

Fibroids can be removed with the aim of keeping the uterus and fertility where possible.
