Fibroid Treatment in Kokapet, Hyderabad
Found a fibroid on your scan? Most fibroids do not need immediate surgery — and when treatment is needed, uterus-preserving options are evaluated first.
Report review is for general guidance; a consultation is needed for diagnosis and treatment planning.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the wall of the uterus. They are made of muscle and fibrous tissue, and they are very common in women of reproductive age.
Many women have fibroids without knowing it. They are often found by chance on an ultrasound done for another reason. Not every fibroid needs treatment — what matters is whether it is causing symptoms or affecting your health plans.
Symptoms That Need Attention
Some fibroids cause no problems at all. When they do, you may notice one or more of the following:
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Passing clots during your period
- Pelvic pain or a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
- Frequent urination
- Bloating or visible abdominal swelling
- Pain during intercourse
- Difficulty conceiving
- Low hemoglobin or fatigue from blood loss
If you have any of these along with a fibroid on your scan, get it evaluated.
Types of Fibroids
Fibroids are named by where they grow in or on the uterus. The type helps explain your symptoms and which treatment options may be suitable.
Grow within the uterine muscle wall. They are the most common type and may cause heavy periods or pelvic pressure depending on size.
Grow on the outer surface of the uterus. They may press on nearby organs and cause bloating, back pain, or frequent urination.
Grow into the inner cavity of the uterus. Even when small, they can cause heavy bleeding and may affect fertility.
Attached to the uterus by a thin stalk, either inside or outside. They can twist and cause sudden pain in some cases.
My Report Says I Have a Fibroid — Is It Serious?
Seeing the word “fibroid” on a scan report can feel alarming. In most cases, fibroids are benign and manageable. Size alone does not decide whether you need surgery.
What matters is your symptoms, where the fibroid is located, how many you have, your age, and whether you plan to have children. A small fibroid in the wrong location — such as inside the uterine cavity — can cause more trouble than a larger fibroid that sits quietly on the outer wall.
For example, a 4 cm fibroid does not automatically mean surgery is needed. If it is not causing symptoms and is not in a sensitive location, watchful waiting with periodic scans may be enough. If it is causing heavy bleeding, pain, or fertility concerns, treatment options are discussed with you step by step.
Treatment Options — From Observation to Surgery
There is no single right answer for every woman. The pathway below shows the range of options — which one fits you is decided together at consultation.
-
Watchful waiting
For small, symptom-free fibroids. You return for periodic scans to check if anything has changed. No treatment is started unless symptoms develop or the fibroid grows significantly.
-
Medical management
Medicines can help control heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. In some cases, medicines are used to shrink fibroids before surgery. Options are chosen based on your symptoms and plans for pregnancy.
-
Laparoscopic myomectomy
Keyhole surgery to remove fibroids while keeping the uterus. It uses small incisions, typically involves a shorter hospital stay, and recovery is usually faster than open surgery. Suitability depends on fibroid size, number, and location. Learn more about minimally invasive gynecological surgery.
-
Hysteroscopic removal
For fibroids that grow inside the uterine cavity. A thin scope is passed through the cervix — there are no cuts on the abdomen. This approach is assessed when the fibroid type and location allow it.
-
Open myomectomy
When fibroids are very large, numerous, or in positions that make keyhole surgery unsuitable, open surgery may be recommended. The uterus can still be preserved in many cases.
-
Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus is discussed only when your family is complete and other options are not suitable for your situation. This is always a shared decision — never assumed.
The right option depends on your symptoms, fibroid type, and whether you plan a pregnancy — it is decided with you, not for you.
Fibroids and Pregnancy
Fibroids can affect conception and pregnancy depending on their size and location. Submucosal fibroids inside the cavity are more likely to interfere with implantation than small fibroids on the outer wall.
In some cases, myomectomy is advised before planning a pregnancy. Dr. Avani Reddy also manages pregnancies in women who have fibroids, with monitoring tailored to each case. If you are trying to conceive or are already pregnant, discuss your scan report at consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Many fibroids only need regular monitoring with periodic scans. Whether you need treatment depends on your symptoms, how the fibroid affects your daily life, and whether you are planning a pregnancy.
Yes. Myomectomy is surgery that removes fibroids while keeping the uterus in place. Whether it is suitable for you depends on the size, number, and location of your fibroids.
Laparoscopic fibroid surgery uses small cuts in the abdomen and a camera to remove fibroids. It typically involves a shorter hospital stay and recovery compared with open surgery. Whether you are a suitable candidate is assessed individually.
Many women are able to conceive after myomectomy. The timing of when to plan a pregnancy after surgery is guided by your doctor based on your healing and individual case.
Some fibroids stay the same size or shrink after menopause. Others may grow or cause worsening bleeding over time. Periodic review with scans and symptom checks is important.
Fibroids are almost always benign (non-cancerous). Rapid growth or unusual features on a scan are evaluated carefully to rule out other conditions.
Medicines can help control symptoms such as heavy bleeding and may shrink fibroids temporarily. These effects often reverse after stopping the medicine — options are discussed case by case at consultation.
The cost depends on the treatment chosen, the hospital or facility, and your insurance coverage. This is discussed transparently during your consultation.
Recovery varies from person to person. Many patients resume routine activities within a short period after laparoscopic surgery — your doctor will give individual guidance based on your procedure and healing.
