By Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee, Gynecologist & Women’s Health Specialist
Myomectomy is one of the most popular surgical procedures to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. Dr Ushashi Mukharjee is one of the reputed gynaecologists in Kolkata, providing expert treatment and care for women suffering from symptomatic fibroids, with a focus on long-term relief, fertility preservation, and overall reproductive health.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that develop from its muscular wall. Women who are at their reproductive age mostly suffer from this; however, the size, number, and location may vary from person to person. While some fibroids remain asymptomatic, others can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, severe pelvic pain, and immense pressure on the bladder or bowel, which can cause problems during conception and lead to unwanted miscarriages.
Nevertheless, early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent any type of complication while helping patients to lead a positive lifestyle.
Myomectomy is a uterus-conserving surgery which allows for to removal of the fibroids without affecting the uterus. It is one of the effective and ideal treatment options for women who wish to retain their fertility or prefer to avoid a hysterectomy.
Dr Ushashi Mukharjee evaluates every patient carefully and determines whether the patient needs this surgery or not based on the age of the patient, medical history, symptoms, reproductive goals and fibroid characteristics.
There are three types of myomectomy surgery. Myomectomy is generally performed using different surgical approaches depending on the size, number, and location of fibroids, which are -
This is a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera. This procedure offers less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery – ideal for many patients.
It is ideal for removing fibroids inside the uterine cavity. This procedure is performed through the vagina without any external incision.
This procedure is mainly recommended for very large or multiple fibroids when minimally invasive surgery is not suitable for the patient.
Dr Ushashi Mukharjee confirms the safest and most effective method for each patient according to their situation.
A detailed assessment using ultrasound, MRI, and clinical evaluation helps confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.
Before the surgery procedure, every patient should go through various types of tests- including blood tests and imaging studies. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to reduce fibroid size before surgery.
Dr Ushashi Mukharjee makes sure that patients are fully well-versed about the procedure, recovery process, and possible expected outcomes.
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery performed. Minimally invasive myomectomy typically allows patients to resume normal activities within one to two weeks, while open surgery may require a longer recovery period. Post-operative follow-ups are essential to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
Like all surgeries, myomectomy carries minimal risks such as infection, bleeding and fibroid recurrence. Nevertheless, under expert surgical care, these risks are significantly reduced. Many women may experience long-term symptom relief and enhanced reproductive outcomes after the surgery.
Dr Ushashi Mukharjee combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, offering women a safe, personalised approach to fibroid management. Her focus is always on preserving reproductive health while ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.
