Treatment ahmedabad hysterectomy — Fibroid Treatment in Ahmedabad: Choosing the Right Option
The management of uterine fibroids is highly individualised. The key variables are the severity of symptoms, the size and location of fibroids, the woman’s desire to preserve fertility or the uterus, and her overall health. There is no single correct treatment — the right choice depends on a careful discussion between patient and specialist.
Medical Management
Hormonal medical therapy can reduce symptoms but does not permanently shrink or eliminate fibroids:
- Tranexamic acid and NSAIDs — reduce bleeding volume and pain during periods; non-hormonal; useful for women with mild-moderate symptoms
- Combined oral contraceptive pill — reduces blood loss but does not shrink fibroids
- Levonorgestrel IUS (Mirena) — very effective for reducing heavy bleeding, particularly in smaller fibroids; not suitable if uterine cavity is significantly distorted
- GnRH agonists — reduce fibroid volume by up to 50% over 3 months by inducing medical menopause; used pre-operatively to shrink fibroids before surgery; not a long-term solution as fibroids regrow on cessation
- Ulipristal acetate — selective progesterone receptor modulator; reduces bleeding and fibroid size; suspended in Europe due to liver concerns; used with caution
Myomectomy: Removing Fibroids, Preserving the Uterus
Myomectomy — surgical removal of fibroids while leaving the uterus intact — is the procedure of choice for women who wish to preserve fertility or their uterus. It can be performed laparoscopically (keyhole), hysteroscopically (for submucosal fibroids via the cervix), or as an open operation for very large or numerous fibroids. Laparoscopic myomectomy offers reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery than open surgery.
Recurrence is a realistic possibility — fibroids can regrow from microscopic seeds in the uterine muscle — and women undergoing myomectomy should understand this before surgery.
Hysterectomy: The Definitive Treatment
For women who have completed their family, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) permanently resolves fibroid-related symptoms with a recurrence rate of zero. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches are preferred for eligible women — shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, and faster return to normal activities. An abdominal approach may be needed for very large uteri.
