Handling a Uterine Fibroid
Fibroid Removal
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus
Fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. These growths are composed of muscle and fibrous tissue and can vary greatly in size, from microscopic to large masses that distort the uterus. Fibroids are common in women of reproductive age and often develop due to hormonal imbalances, particularly high levels of estrogen and progesterone.
In most cases, fibroids are benign and do not pose significant health risks. However, they can cause discomfort and other complications depending on their size, number, and location. Common types of fibroids include intramural (within the uterine wall), submucosal (beneath the uterine lining), and subserosal (on the outside of the uterus).
While some women with fibroids experience no symptoms, others may face challenges such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or infertility, necessitating medical or surgical intervention.
FIBROID SYMPTOMS
- The symptoms of fibroids can vary widely depending on their size, location, and number. Common signs include:
- Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding: Fibroids can cause excessive bleeding, sometimes leading to anemia.
- Pelvic Pain or Pressure: Large fibroids may exert pressure on surrounding organs, causing pain or a feeling of fullness.
- Frequent Urination: Subserosal fibroids can press against the bladder, increasing urinary frequency.
- Painful Intercourse: Some fibroids may lead to discomfort during sexual activity.
- Constipation or Bloating: Fibroids pressing on the bowel can lead to digestive issues.
- Infertility or Pregnancy Complications: Fibroids can sometimes interfere with conception or pregnancy, depending on their size and location.
- If you experience any of these symptoms, consult gynecologist Dr Puja Dewan to discuss your diagnosis and treatment options. Early intervention can prevent complications and improve quality of life.

How Fibroids are Removed Via Laparoscopy
- Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is an effective method for removing fibroids while preserving the uterus. The procedure involves small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) and surgical instruments are inserted.
- Steps of the Procedure:
- Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions, typically around the belly button, to insert the laparoscope and instruments.
- Locating the Fibroid: The laparoscope provides a clear view of the uterus, helping the surgeon identify the fibroid(s).
- Fibroid Removal: Specialized instruments are used to carefully excise the fibroid. For larger fibroids, a device called a morcellator may be used to break the fibroid into smaller pieces for removal.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are sutured and covered with bandages.
Benefits of Laparoscopy
- Minimal Scarring: Small incisions result in less visible scars.
- Faster Recovery: Patients can typically return to normal activities within a few weeks.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Compared to open surgery, laparoscopy has fewer post-surgical complications.
- Preservation of Uterus: This procedure allows women to retain their uterus, which is crucial for those planning future pregnancies.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
