Myoma Treatment

Comprehensive Myoma Treatment at Aktif International Hospitals

Myomas, also known as uterine fibroids, are noncancerous growths that develop within the muscular walls of the uterus. While many women with myomas may not experience any symptoms, others may suffer from pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or fertility issues. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive treatment for myomas provided by experienced gynecologists and reproductive health specialists. Our goal is to provide personalized care to effectively manage myomas, alleviate symptoms, and improve the quality of life for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are myomas, and what are the common symptoms?

Myomas are benign tumors that develop from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. These growths can vary in size, number, and location within the uterine wall. Common symptoms of myomas may include:

Heavy menstrual bleeding: Excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding, often accompanied by passing blood clots or experiencing periods that last longer than usual.
Pelvic pain or pressure: Discomfort or pain in the pelvic region, lower back, or abdomen, which may worsen during menstruation or sexual intercourse.
Frequent urination: Increased frequency of urination or difficulty emptying the bladder due to pressure from large myomas pressing on the bladder.
Difficulty conceiving: Myomas may interfere with fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes, disrupting the implantation of a fertilized egg, or causing recurrent miscarriages.
Enlarged abdomen: Large or multiple myomas can cause the uterus to become enlarged, leading to a noticeable bulge or protrusion in the lower abdomen.

How are myomas diagnosed, and what are the treatment options?

Myomas are typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, pelvic examination, and imaging tests, such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or hysterosalpingography (HSG), to evaluate the size, number, and location of the fibroids within the uterus.

The treatment for myomas depends on various factors, including the size and location of the fibroids, severity of symptoms, and the patient’s age and desire for future fertility. Treatment options for myomas may include:

Watchful waiting: For asymptomatic myomas or those causing mild symptoms, a watchful waiting approach may be recommended, with regular monitoring to assess any changes in size or symptoms over time.
Medications: Hormonal medications, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, birth control pills, or progestin-releasing intrauterine devices (IUDs), may be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure.
Minimally invasive procedures: Minimally invasive procedures, such as uterine artery embolization (UAE), magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS), or laparoscopic or hysteroscopic myomectomy, may be performed to remove or shrink the fibroids while preserving the uterus.
Surgical options: In cases of severe symptoms or large, symptomatic myomas, surgical interventions such as traditional myomectomy (open surgery to remove fibroids), robotic-assisted myomectomy, or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be recommended to provide long-term relief.
