| Fibroids1: What is myomectomy and is that an option for me? |
| Dr. Eunice Moon: If we have determined through an MRI that the patient has a condition called adenomyosis, treatment options may be different. If the patient wants to have children, myomectomy maybe a better option. Myomectomy is a surgical procedure where the doctor opens the uterus, takes out the fibroids and basically sews the uterus back up (myomectomy may not be feasible depending on the size and number of the fibroids). The fibroid recurrence rate after a myomectomy is something like 20 to 40 percent, depending on who you ask. These patients may return with fibroid problems in the future but hopefully they have been able to successfully have children. |
