What to know about fibroid surgery for a 12 CM fibroid?

Hello,

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus, and their size can vary significantly. A 12 cm fibroid is considered large and often requires medical attention. It's completely understandable to feel concerned, especially when facing financial challenges, and we are here to help.

Understanding Large Uterine Fibroids and Treatment

Common Symptoms of a Large Fibroid (12 cm)

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, sometimes with blood clots.
  
  
• Pelvic pain or pressure, which can be constant or intermittent.
  
  
• Frequent urination due to pressure on the bladder.
  
  
• Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements if the fibroid presses on the rectum.
  
  
• Backache or leg pain.
  
  
• Swelling or enlargement of the abdomen.

Treatment Options for Large Fibroids

For a fibroid of 12 cm, surgical intervention is often recommended due to its size and potential impact on your health. The most common surgical options include

• Myomectomy : This procedure removes only the fibroids while preserving the uterus. It's often preferred for women who wish to retain their fertility. HexaHealth can connect you with experienced surgeons who perform minimally invasive myomectomy, which can lead to faster recovery and less scarring.
  
  
• Hysterectomy : This involves the complete removal of the uterus. It is a definitive solution to fibroids and is considered if other treatments are not suitable or if fertility is not a concern.
  
  
• Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE ): A non-surgical procedure that blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. The suitability of UAE for a 12 cm fibroid would need to be assessed by a specialist.
