Treatment is not necessary for every woman who has a uterine fibroids problem. Many of the patients can only be followed up without treatment.. But this does not mean that in the presence of uterine fibroids in women, they should ignore this problem Dec A woman who feels different in her body and suspects uterine fibroids should contact a doctor who is an expert in this field and follow the doctor’s instructions. Especially in a woman planning a pregnancy, fibroids that have settled in the inner layer of the uterus may need to be removed in advance.

How do I know if I have uterine fibroids?
One of the issues that women are most interested in is the question of how to tell if they have fibroids in their uterus. Myoma, which makes its presence felt by different effects in each woman according to its size, number and location, can cause the following complaints.

The goal of the drug is to eliminate the complaint!
For fibroids; medication (anti-inflammatory, implant, birth control pill, hormonal spiral, etc.) many different treatment methods can be applied, such as uterine vein embolization, surgical procedure. The aim of the drug treatment is to eliminate the problems experienced, that is, the complaints of the patient. These methods of treatment do not reduce fibroids or reduce their number.
Women who want to become mothers
The problem of uterine fibroids can lead to complete removal of the uterus of women, especially in Turkey. This is also seen as a sad event for women who want to have children in the future. Considering these conditions and requests, we surgeons perform operations that ensure the protection of the uterus in these patients. During the operation, we remove only fibroids, without touching the uterus. We also call this operation myomectomy.
Myomectomy surgery is a very comfortable procedure. In appropriate patients, the patient is discharged within the same day with laparoscopic (closed method) myomectomy. In addition, while the recovery period lasts shorter, more aesthetic results can be obtained in terms of scarring.
