abdominal myomectomy

Are There Alternatives to Abdominal Myomectomy?

Several alternatives to abdominal myomectomy are available, depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as the patient's symptoms and preferences. These alternatives include:
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions using a laparoscope.
- Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: A procedure to remove fibroids located inside the uterine cavity using a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina and cervix.
- Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): A non-surgical technique that blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.
- Medication: Hormonal treatments and other medications can help manage symptoms but do not remove fibroids.
