My doctor has told me about a procedure called a myomectomy.

You do not wish to have a hysterectomy or myomectomy.

This depends in part on where and how big the myomectomy incision is.

After myomectomy, a cesarean section may be needed for delivery.

If you are hoping for a future pregnancy, myomectomy is your one surgical option.

After myomectomy, your chances of pregnancy may be improved but are not guaranteed.

Fibroids can grow back after myomectomy or when you stop taking hormones.

There is also the same issue as for myomectomy - the recurrence of fibroids.

The major drawback of myomectomy, however, is that fibroids often return.

Recovery time depends on the method used for the myomectomy:

Small fibroids may be dealt with by local removal (myomectomy).

To remove the tumor from the body, a myomectomy or hysterectomy is often required.

We don't yet know about recurrence risk and how it compares to myomectomy."

Surgery to take out the fibroids is called myomectomy.

Rarely, a myomectomy leaves scar tissue that makes it impossible to get pregnant.

Fibroids may be removed surgically in a procedure known as a myomectomy.

Even with myomectomy, though, surgery can contribute to scarring that may cause infertility.

You don't want to have surgery (myomectomy or hysterectomy).

Development of new fibroids will be seen in 42-55% of patients undergoing a myomectomy.

However, in selected cases myomectomy may become necessary during pregnancy, or also at the time of a caesarean section to gain access to the baby.

A laparoscopic myomectomy is done through a small incision near the navel.

When trying to get pregnant after myomectomy.

This leads to higher rates of surgery for African Americans, both myomectomy and hysterectomy.

Embolization seems to work on fibroids that myomectomy cannot eliminate, according to doctors who have studied them.

The downside to myomectomy is that fibroids may recur.
