Surgery
Benign fibromas can be removed or left alone. A physician should examine the fibroma and determine whether it may be malignant. If there is any question as to whether it may be cancer-related, it should be removed. This is usually a brief outpatient procedure.
Uterine fibroma
Hysterectomy
- The standard treatment for uterine fibroids include uterus resection (hysterectomy) either transabdominal or transvaginal and sometimes even resection of the ovaries.[1][2]
- For young women who wish to preserve their fertility, hysterectomy is not a desirable therapeutical option.
- Furthermore it has lots of risks and complications like:
- Postoperative bleeding
- Hectic syndrome
- Low sexual desire
- Depression
- High risk of cardiovascular illness
Segmentary myomectomy
- It is a conservative surgical procedure that consists of resecting the tumor, with the preservation of uterus and, therefore the reproductive function.
- It is also associated with increased blood loss, pain and prolonged operative time.
