Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous uterine growths that most often occur during the childbearing years. Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, aren’t linked to a higher chance of uterine cancer and rarely become cancerous.
Fibroids vary in size from tiny seedlings that are undetectable to massive masses that deform and swell the uterus. A single fibroid or a group of them may be present. Multiple fibroids can cause the uterus to extend to the point that it meets the rib cage, causing weight gain.
Uterine fibroids affect many people at some point in their lives. However, since uterine fibroids seldom cause symptoms, you might be unaware that you have them. During a pelvic exam or a prenatal ultrasound, your doctor can discover fibroids by chance.

Treatment

An ultrasound of the pelvis can reliably detect uterine fibroids. When Dr. Sonali Gupta the Best Gynecologist in Greater Noida plans to operate on them, she will request an MRI of the abdomen to get more accurate details about the size, location, and other factors.

Fibroid treatment is determined by the size of the fibroids, the complications they cause, and the patient’s age. If the fibroids are thin, the only treatment is to wait and see what happens, which would necessitate regular ultrasounds to monitor their growth or shrinkage. If the scale is excessive, surgery is the only solution and can be done both open and laparoscopically.

Cost: A biopsy of the extracted fibroid is performed to rule out cancer. A hysterectomy is performed once it is discovered to be cancerous. Hysterectomy can also be done on elderly patients who have had their children. The surgery will cost between INR 45000 and INR 60000. Females who have had their children or have reached menopause are urged to have a hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus. The cost of the same will range between INR 75000 and INR 90000. Dr. Sonali Gupta has extensive experience conducting both open and laparoscopically with similar ease and accuracy.
