Uterine fibroids, which are also known as leiomyomas, are benign growths that occur in the uterus. They can form as a single nodule or in clusters, and their sizes can range from 1 mm to over 20 cm. These growths can develop within the uterine wall, inside the main cavity, or on the outer surface.
While smaller fibroids are generally asymptomatic and do not require treatment, larger ones can cause a range of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent urination, pain during sexual intercourse, lower back pain, and constipation.
Myomectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove uterine fibroids, and the specific type of myomectomy performed depends on the size, number, type, and location of the fibroids. Possible complications of myomectomy include haemorrhage, injury to the uterus, damage to the surrounding tissue, adhesion (scar tissue) formation within the uterus, infection, blood clots, and eventual re-growth of fibroids.
