Myomectomy in India
Quick answer
Myomectomy removes fibroids (non-cancerous growths of the womb muscle) while keeping the uterus. It is for women with troublesome fibroids who want to keep their fertility or their womb. Depending on the method, hospital stay is from one night to a few days, with a stay in India of one to two weeks.

Fibroids can cause heavy periods, pain, pressure on the bladder, or difficulty getting pregnant. Myomectomy removes them and repairs the uterine wall. The uterus stays in place, so pregnancy remains possible.
Fibroids can be removed through the abdomen (open), by keyhole or robotic surgery, or through the cervix with a hysteroscope if they sit inside the womb cavity. The choice depends on their number, size and position. New fibroids can grow later, especially in younger women.
Approaches: standard, keyhole (laparoscopic) or robotic
Open myomectomy uses an abdominal cut and suits many or very large fibroids; recovery is longer. Laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy use small cuts and allow quicker recovery, but need careful suturing of the womb wall; robotics can make that stitching easier. Fibroids inside the cavity are removed through the vagina by hysteroscopy, with no cuts at all.
Who needs myomectomy
- Fibroids causing heavy bleeding or anaemia
- Fibroids linked to infertility or repeated miscarriage
- Pelvic pain or pressure from large fibroids
- Women who want to keep their uterus
- Fibroids distorting the womb cavity before IVF
How it is done
- MRI or ultrasound maps the fibroids precisely.
- Medicines may be given before surgery to shrink fibroids or correct anaemia.
- Under anaesthesia, the surgeon opens the uterine wall over each fibroid.
- Fibroids are shelled out from the muscle.
- The uterine wall is repaired in layers with stitches.
- Fibroids are removed from the body through the incision or in a bag.
Before you travel to India
- Pelvic MRI or detailed ultrasound showing size, number and location of fibroids
- Haemoglobin and iron levels
- Fertility history and any IVF plans
- Previous surgery records
- A companion for the hospital stay
Recovery and flying home
- Stay is one night for keyhole and a few days for open surgery.
- Mild bleeding and cramping can last a few days.
- Light activity resumes within days; open surgery needs longer.
- Doctors usually advise waiting a few months before trying to conceive.
- Future pregnancies may need caesarean birth, depending on the repair.
Risks
- Heavy bleeding, sometimes needing transfusion
- Rarely, need to convert to hysterectomy during surgery
- Adhesions (scar tissue) affecting fertility
- Fibroids returning
- Weakness of the uterine wall in later pregnancy
Alternatives
- Hysterectomy: permanent removal of the uterus
- Uterine fibroid embolisation: blocks the blood supply to shrink fibroids
- Hormonal medicines to shrink fibroids for a time
- Hysteroscopic resection for fibroids inside the cavity

Frequently asked questions
Can I get pregnant after myomectomy?
Yes, many women conceive after myomectomy. You may need to wait a few months for the uterus to heal. Your doctor will advise on timing.
Will I need a caesarean section later?
If the fibroid removal went deep into the muscle, a caesarean is often advised. This lowers the risk of the uterus tearing in labour. Your surgeon notes this in your report.
Can fibroids come back after surgery?
Yes, new fibroids can grow. The chance depends on your age and how many you had. Regular scans help detect them early.
Why might I need medicines before myomectomy?
Some medicines shrink fibroids and reduce bleeding during surgery. Iron treatment can correct anaemia. These are often started weeks before travel.
What reports should I take home after myomectomy?
Ask for the operation note, number and position of fibroids, and the histology report. These matter for future pregnancies. Share them with your obstetrician at home.
