Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility.

This is the preferred choice for women who want to find relief from symptoms while preserving their ability to conceive naturally or through IVF Treatment.

What you need to know
Understanding Fibroids and Fertility
Fibroids can interfere with fertility depending on their size and location. Submucosal fibroids (inside the uterine cavity) can prevent an embryo from sticking, while intramural fibroids (in the muscle wall) can block the fallopian tubes. At Aikya, we use 3D/4D Ultrasound to map the exact location of each fibroid, ensuring a surgical plan that prioritizes the structural integrity of your uterus.
The Aikya Myomectomy Protocol: Step-by-Step
- Surgical Mapping: Detailed imaging at our J.P. Nagar or Raghuvanahalli Branch to determine the number and size of fibroids.
- Anesthesia: Performed under general anesthesia in our world-class Facilities for a pain-free experience.
- Laparoscopic Excision: Making 3–4 tiny "keyhole" incisions to insert a camera and specialized instruments to detach the fibroids from the uterine muscle.
- Morcellation: Safely breaking the fibroids into smaller pieces to remove them through the tiny incisions, often using a "contained bag" technique for maximum safety.
- Uterine Reconstruction: Meticulously suturing the uterine wall in layers to ensure it is strong enough for a future pregnancy.
- Recovery: Most patients stay overnight for observation and are discharged within 24–48 hours.
Precision Surgery & Patient Safety
Safety and the "Future-Proofing" of your uterus are our main concerns. Our surgeons use advanced energy sources to minimize blood loss and prevent the formation of Pelvic Adhesions. For women with very large fibroids, we may suggest a short course of hormonal treatment to shrink them before surgery, making the procedure even safer. This level of specialized care is why patients choose Why Aikya for complex gynecological surgeries.

- Delivery Method: Depending on the depth of the surgery, a Cesarean section may be recommended for future births to protect the uterine scar.
- Recurrence: While we remove all existing fibroids, new ones can grow over time; regular monitoring via Ultrasound is recommended.
