Uterine fibroids are a common cause of heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, and infertility. While treatment options vary, many women desire a solution that removes fibroids while preserving the uterus.
At JMJ Clinic, we offer laparoscopic myomectomy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove fibroids and restore normal uterine function.
What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids (leiomyomas) are benign growths of the uterine muscle. Depending on their size and location, they can cause:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Urinary frequency or bowel symptoms
- Difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy
Why Myomectomy?
Unlike hysterectomy, which removes the uterus, myomectomy removes only the fibroids. This is often the preferred option for women who:
- Desire future fertility
- Wish to preserve their uterus
- Want relief from symptoms without more extensive surgery
Our Approach: Minimally Invasive Surgery
Whenever appropriate, we perform myomectomy using a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) approach.
This involves:
- Small abdominal incisions
- Precise removal of fibroids
- Careful reconstruction of the uterus
Benefits of Laparoscopic Myomectomy
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Lower risk of complications compared to open surgery
Fertility Considerations
Fibroids—especially those that distort the uterine cavity—can interfere with implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage. Removing these fibroids can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy in appropriately selected patients.
We take special care to:
- Preserve healthy uterine tissue
- Reconstruct the uterus in a way that supports future pregnancy
- Minimize adhesion formation
A Restorative Surgical Option
At JMJ Clinic, laparoscopic myomectomy is part of a broader commitment to restoring normal anatomy and function. By addressing the underlying structural problem, this approach can relieve symptoms and, in many cases, improve fertility—without removing the uterus.
