subject: Fibroid Surgeries In India [print this page] Uterine fibroid or Fibroid is a tumor and arises from the muscle layers of the uterus and is benign (non-cancerous). Fibroids are of different sizes and sometimes grow very large. Women between the age group of 30 and 50 are probable victim of Fibroid. They grow along the wall of the uterus, and sometimes outside the wall of the uterus. It is at times formed in the muscle below the lining of the uterine wall.
The most common indication for Fibroids is extreme and superfluous bleeding for a long duration of time. This condition in women can lead to iron deficiency and anemia. Women also feel discomfort in the pelvic region and have an urge to urinate repeatedly.
Fibroids are asymptomatic and generally brought to light during a vaginal examination. Diagnosis of fibroids are carried out through gynecological endoscopy, such as, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy etc. Ultra sound is also used widely for diagnosis of fibroids which are minute. Fibroid surgeries in India are extensively common and women have become increasingly aware of this treatment.
Fibroid surgeries in India are multifarious. These treatments include UFE (Uterine fibroid embolization), Myomectomy, Hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, magnetic resonance guided percutaneous laser ablation and magnetic resonance guided ultrasound surgery.
Hysterectomy is an operation in which the uterus is separated from the body surgically and is the only lasting cure for fibroids. In UFE the fibroids are made to shrink by reducing the blood supply as a result of blocking the arteries by injecting particles through a catheter.
In Endometrial ablation is an operation through which the lining on the wall of the uterus is removed. This technique is carried on when the fibroid is present inside the wall of the uterus. Some of the other fibroid surgeries in India are the use of MRI scan through which laser light shrinks the fibroid. Sound waves are also used to shrink fibroids. These methods are also highly effective.
Fibroid surgery in India is immensely popular because of the efficient and specialized doctors who are highly qualified in this subject and can give the best possible treatment at nominal rates. India on a whole has the latest technology that has attracted patients from all over the world that has promoted tourist to visit India for medical purposes.
