Myomectomy is needed by women of childbearing age whose fibroid symptoms affect their normal activities, but who wish to retain their fertility or who do not wish to have a hysterectomy (womb removal). If you need surgery for uterine fibroid(s), the reasons for your gynaecologist to choose myomectomy instead of hysterectomy may include:
- You plan to have children in the future
- Uterine fibroid might be affecting your fertility
- You want to keep your uterus
