A myomectomy is a procedure to remove fibroids (also known as myomas) from the uterus. Fibroids are growths made up of connective tissue and muscle cells. These growths can present as one or many fibroids growing inside the muscle of the uterus or even elsewhere in the pelvis. They are typically not cancerous. During myomectomy, fibroids are removed, and the uterus is repaired. After this procedure, you will typically have a normally functioning uterus. In some cases, treatment for fibroids could include a hysterectomy (a procedure to remove the entire uterus). Unlike after myomectomy, women who undergo a hysterectomy can no longer become pregnant.
