Yes, surgeries are available to remove fibroids if they threaten to impede pregnancy. These surgeries help to reduce the risk of complications, such as miscarriage or preterm labor, that can occur due to fibroid growth during pregnancy. There are numerous different types of procedures used to treat fibroids—both surgical and non-surgical—which depend on the type and size of the fibroids involved and the woman’s overall health history.
Myomectomy is one common type of surgery for treating uterine fibroids that threaten to impede pregnancy. This procedure involves removing only the fibroids from the uterus while leaving uterus walls intact. Depending on the size of fibroid and its location within the uterus wall, there are two different approaches used in myomectomy surgery: laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive approach that involves making a few small incisions in the abdomen or navel while hysteroscopy requires insertion of a hysteroscope into opening along neck of cervix. This procedure helps preserve fertility as well as improves reproductive outcomes, including preventing loss of pregnancy or premature labor due to abnormally grown uterine fibroid.
Besides laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomies, hysterectomy is another surgery used to treat severe cases of uterine fibroids that threaten to impede pregnancy. This method removes entire uterus lining which not only reduces cancer risk but also cures anemia caused by heavy bleeding due to growing hormones inside womb. Doctors typically recommend this option only after other techniques proving ineffective for their patients’ particular needs; however even if given this advice it is important for women considering hysterectomy for their fibroids-related problems consult with physicians before choosing any treatment plan as it may have some lifelong effects on fertility and health status in general.
