Treatment
The doctor physically examines the patient to check for any irregularities or abnormal growths in the uterus. If the doctor feels some irregularities then further diagnostic tests for uterine fibroids are carried out.
The doctor may carry out hysteroscopy as an operative technique or prescribe you some medications if you have really small uterine fibroids. But in cases where a female has numerous big size fibroids in her uterus, medications do not prove to be effective. In such cases, only the surgical procedure of hysterectomy is the safest option.
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is the procedure of surgically removing the uterus of a female. It involves removing the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or any other fibroid affected part of the uterus. Thus, hysterectomy can be partial or complete, it depends on the severity of the condition of fibroids of the patient. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is an absolutely safe procedure that serves as the permanent solution to uterine fibroids. Also, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers fast recovery and the patient faces minimal pain and discomfort while recovering.
In Our Doctor's Word
"Uterine fibroids are extremely common especially in women within the bracket of 40-50 years of age. It begins with a sudden but sharp pain and gets more frequent and severe with time. But a common thread I encounter is the trust on home remedies/ local quacks. The truth is, home remedies/ yoga can only help manage the pain and not cure the problem itself. The only way fibroids can be resolved is through a surgical procedure. Any delay only complicates the conditions, puts you through elongated pain and serves no benefits. So, my honest advice would be, do not self diagnose the severity fo the condition. The surgery is quick, safe and offers immediate results. Also, occurance of complications during and after the surgery are very rare."
