Fibroid removal surgery is performed to treat uterine fibroids, which are benign growths in the uterus. While many women with fibroids have no symptoms, some experience heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and fertility issues.
Surgical options include:
Myomectomy: removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus (ideal for women who want to have children in the future).
Hysterectomy: the complete removal of the uterus (permanent solution, not suitable for women seeking future pregnancies).
India is a leading destination for fibroid surgery, thanks to its expert gynaecologists, modern hospitals, advanced minimally invasive techniques (including laparoscopic/robotic procedures), and affordable costs. VivaVel Health ensures international patients receive safe, high-quality treatment, travel assistance, and compassionate care.
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation or bloating
Pain during intercourse
Enlarged abdomen (appears like pregnancy)
Infertility or repeated miscarriages
The exact cause of fibroids is not entirely understood, but factors include:
Hormonal imbalance: Estrogen and progesterone stimulate fibroid growth.
Genetic predisposition: Family history of fibroids increases risk
Obesity: Higher body weight raises hormone levels, fueling growth
Early menstruation onset: Increases lifetime exposure to estrogen
Pregnancy: A Temporary hormone surge may enlarge fibroids
Other factors: Vitamin D deficiency, a diet high in red meat and low in fruits/vegetables
Consult a gynaecologist if you:
Have very heavy or painful periods
Struggle with infertility or repeated miscarriages
Notice pelvic pressure or abdominal enlargement
Experience severe pelvic pain
Develop anaemia due to blood loss
Family history of fibroids
African or Asian ethnicity (higher incidence)
Age between 30 and 50 years
Obesity and poor diet
Vitamin D deficiency
High blood pressure
Pelvic exam: initial detection of an enlarged uterus
Ultrasound (transvaginal or abdominal): most common test
MRI scan: for detailed mapping of fibroids
Hysterosonography: saline ultrasound for the uterine cavity
Hysteroscopy: a camera inserted into the uterus to check fibroids inside the uterine lining
Blood tests: to check for anaemia due to heavy bleeding
Do's:
Take medications as prescribed
Eat iron-rich foods to recover from anaemia
Drink plenty of fluids and eat fibre-rich meals
Walk short distances daily to improve circulation
Attend follow-up visits for wound check and ultrasound
Don'ts:
Avoid lifting heavy objects for 4–6 weeks
Don't resume sexual activity until cleared by a doctor (usually 4–6 weeks)
Avoid smoking and alcohol (delays healing)
Don't ignore fever, severe bleeding, or foul-smelling discharge
Recovery & Outlook
Light activities resume in 1–2 weeks for laparoscopic surgery
Complete recovery in 4–6 weeks for open surgery
Myomectomy allows future pregnancy, but fibroids can recur
Hysterectomy provides permanent relief from fibroids
Success rates: 85–95% improvement in symptoms
