Dear Mrs. Priyanka Bhardwaj You did not tell us which type of fibroid you have like subserous or intramural or submucous. Generally bleeding happens more with subserous myoma and if is troublesome you need to get hysteroscopic myomectomy done. Whenever a fibroid is inside the uterine cavity, it will more often than not cause abnormal bleeding and cramping. If it's not currently causing problems, the possibilities high that it'll. For this reason, I usually suggest that they be removed. These can usually be removed using a special type of hysteroscope, or resectoscope. The resectoscope is a telescope having a built-in loop that may cut through tissue. It has been utilized for a long time to deal with enlargement from the male prostate, and has recently been used inside the uterus. This is called hysteroscopic resection of myomas. In skilled hands most myomas inside the uterus can be removed within an outpatient setting. During diagnostic hysteroscopy the hysteroscope is used just to observe the endometrial cavity (within the uterus.) During operative hysteroscopy a type of hysteroscope is used that has channels in which it is possible to insert very thin instruments. These instruments can be used to remove polyps, to chop adhesions, and do other procedures. With the development of better and smaller instruments, I've found that I am able to remove some polyps in addition to doing other procedures that accustomed to need a full operating room. In many situations, operative hysteroscopy may offer an alternative to hysterectomy. Please first get your diagnosis clear that which type of myoma you have and based upon that we will decide your treatment plan. With regards M.K. Gupta |
