Uterine fibroids can cause a spectrum of symptoms — from heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure to fertility challenges. For women in Mumbai looking for a less invasive, uterus-preserving option, hysteroscopic myomectomy in Mumbai offers hope. Under the experienced care of Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar, this procedure becomes a precise, safe, and relatively low-discomfort solution for submucosal fibroids.
What Is Hysteroscopic Myomectomy?
Hysteroscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to remove fibroids located inside the uterine cavity (submucosal fibroids). A thin camera (hysteroscope) is introduced via the vagina and cervix — eliminating the need for abdominal incisions. Through this visual guidance, the surgeon uses small instruments to excise or resect the fibroid tissue, restoring normal uterine architecture.
Because the procedure avoids cutting through the abdominal wall, it carries less postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and shorter recovery periods. It is especially beneficial for women who wish to preserve fertility or avoid a full hysterectomy.
Indications: Who Should Consider It?
Women may consider hysteroscopic myomectomy in Mumbai in the following scenarios:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that disrupts daily life
Fibroids causing infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage
Pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort attributable to fibroids
Preference for a uterus-preserving therapy instead of hysterectomy
Dr. Maitreyee Parulekar evaluates each patient individually — using imaging (ultrasound, MRI) and clinical history — to determine if hysteroscopic myomectomy is appropriate.
How the Procedure Works (Step-by-Step)
Preoperative evaluation: Imaging of the uterus, hormonal and blood work, and counseling regarding risks, benefits, and alternatives.
Anesthesia and dilation: Under suitable anesthesia, the cervix is gently dilated.
Insertion of hysteroscope: A thin camera is passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity.
Fibroid removal: Using specialized instruments under direct vision, submucosal fibroids are resected or shaved off.
Distension medium: A liquid medium is used to expand the uterine cavity so the surgeon can see clearly (careful monitoring is essential to avoid fluid overload).
Completion and recovery: The scope is withdrawn; minimal bleeding and cramping are expected. Recovery begins almost immediately.
Advantages of Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Minimally invasive: No external incision, minimal trauma to surrounding tissues
Faster recovery: Many patients resume normal activities within days or a week
Preserves fertility: Uterus remains intact, making future pregnancies possible
Symptom relief: Significant improvement in heavy bleeding and pelvic discomfort
Compared to laparoscopic or open myomectomy, hysteroscopic myomectomy is more limited in scope (only submucosal fibroids) but safer and quicker for suitable cases.
Risks and Limitations
Although generally safe, there are potential risks:
Infection or bleeding
Fluid overload from the distension medium (rare but serious)
Intrauterine adhesions (scarring)
Incomplete removal if fibroid extends deeply beyond the uterine wall
Recurrence risk (fibroids can recur over time)
Dr. Parulekar carefully evaluates each case to minimize risks, and follow-up care is part of the protocol.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
After hysteroscopic myomectomy in Mumbai, most patients experience mild cramping and light spotting for a few days. Strenuous activity is usually avoided for a short time to promote healing. Normal routines can often resume within a week. drmaitreyeegynec.in Follow-up visits help track healing, check for adhesions or complications, and evaluate symptom improvement.
