Am I a candidate for myomectomy?

Surgerypelvicabdominalsystemic

Myomectomy may be a good fit if your fibroids are causing symptoms (like heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, or fertility challenges) and imaging shows they can be removed while preserving the uterus. Your candidacy depends on the fibroids’ size, number, and location, along with your overall health, prior pelvic surgeries, and whether pregnancy now or in the future is part of your goals.


In a consultation, our team reviews your history and imaging in detail and explains what a myomectomy could realistically accomplish for symptom relief and uterine preservation, as well as potential tradeoffs such as recurrence risk, scarring, and the type of surgical approach that may be safest. If you’d like an individualized recommendation, you can reach out to schedule a consultation with us.
