Myomectomy

^$0⁰⁰

A myomectomy is the procedure in which your gynecologist in Midtown removes fibroids, or, benign muscular growths on the inside, in the walls, on the outside, or a combination of either, from your uterus. Your gynecologist may perform these procedure in several different manners such as hysteroscopically (with a small camera), open technique, also called a laparotomy, with the assistance of a robot, or laparoscopically (with small cameras but through the abdomen) if you have abnormal bleeding patterns that may or may not be accompanied by infertility issues as well. Broken down:

A hysteroscopy is the process of looking into your uterus with a small camera instrument called a hysteroscope. Myomectomy means the removal of myomas (fibroid growths inside or on the uterus). Polypectomy is the removal of polyps (benign growths, like skin tags, on the inside of the uterus).Size and location are the two most important considerations when deciding how to address a fibroid

Whether you have a myomectomy vs hysterectomy will result in very different outcomes. The myomectomy removes only fibroids; your uterus remains entirely intact. During a hysterectomy, your reproductive organs are removed, often including your fallopian tubes, ovaries and all or part of your womb. One of the main reasons to get a hysteroscopic myomectomy/polypectomy is to determine which procedure you need.

Uterine fibroids and polyps can form on the tissue of your uterine. If left untreated, they can cause infertility, abdominal pain, irregular bleeding and lengthy, heavy periods. In the past, treatment included hysterectomy, but today, there are better, faster and cheaper alternatives, including the Hologic Myosure tissue removal system.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2009, the Myosure procedure safely removes fibroids and polyps without cutting your skin or subjecting you to general anesthesia. Best of all, the procedure can be performed in your Midtown gynecologist’s office, usually within a half hour. The result leaves your uterus intact while resolving the causes of your symptoms. You should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.

Symptoms of Polyps vs Fibroids
Most women know what a polyp is if they know anyone who’s been through a colonoscopy. Polyps are excess tissue that sprouts from the inner lining of your uterus. Like polyps in your colon, these polyps form small oval or round balloons, attached to the uterine lining by a thin stem. They don’t get bigger than a golf ball and are usually much smaller. Most often, they appear in older women who have reached a postmenopausal or perimenopausal age.

Fibroids, on the other hand, are composed of hard muscle that grows from your uterine muscular layer. If you’re feeling abdominal pain and heavy periods, you may have uterine fibroids, since polyps aren’t known to cause much pain. And while fibroids can stay small, they can become much bigger than polyps — as large as a watermelon.

Both fibroids and polyps form from hormonal imbalances. Both interfere with conception, similar to an intrauterine device. Fibroids often cause pain while polyps often lead to bleeding and spotting. But both can be removed using the Hologic Myosure procedure.
