how does uterine myoma is treated?

Answer 1

It will depend on the location and size of it. If the myoma is on the outside of the uterus and it is small the dr may be able to remove the myoma thru laparoscopic surgery. If it's bigger they would have to do a full cut most likely. If it's inside the uterus and small enough they can remove it thru a special instrument called a hysteroscope.

Also, with the myomas on the outside they may do a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization. The intent with this treatment is to try and cut off the blood supply to the myoma which then would cause it to die.

Another great site you can go to find out more is at http://www.WebMD.com

Also, at about.com they have a newsletter for Women's health. If you go to the about.com home page and type it in to the search box it will take you to the link for that newsletter. The lady in charge of that newsletter covers all kinds of issues related to women's health such as myomas.

Also, when you see your dr next time ask them if they have the brochure from one of the Obstetrics and Gynecology organizations that can also give even more information about treatment choices.
