Fibroids & Fertility

Not all fibroids affect fertility — but those that distort the uterine cavity can. Fertility-preserving surgery removes the problem while protecting your chance of pregnancy.

What is Fibroids

What are Fibroids?

Fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths of muscle in the wall of the uterus. They are very common and often cause no problems, but depending on their size and position they can cause heavy periods, pain and, in some cases, difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy.

Whether a fibroid affects fertility depends mainly on its location. Those bulging into the uterine cavity (submucosal) matter most, as they can interfere with implantation. Our reproductive surgeons remove only the fibroids that need removing, using fertility-preserving, minimally-invasive techniques.

Step by Step

How fibroids are treated

Accurate mapping first, then targeted, fertility-sparing treatment.

01

Evaluation

History, examination and ultrasound to map size, number and position.

02

Cavity Assessment

Hysteroscopy or saline scan to see which fibroids affect the cavity.

03

Hysteroscopic Myomectomy

Cavity fibroids removed through the cervix, with no abdominal incision.

04

Laparoscopic Myomectomy

Wall fibroids removed via keyhole surgery, preserving the uterus.

05

Conception Plan

Natural conception or IVF planned once the cavity has healed.

Many fibroids need only monitoring — surgery is advised only when fertility or symptoms justify it.

Success & Safety

Real chances, honestly explained

Every fertility journey is unique. Fibroids success rates depend on several medical and lifestyle factors.

Factors affecting success

  • Fibroid size, number and especially position
  • Whether the cavity was distorted before surgery
  • Age and other fertility factors
  • Healing of the uterus after surgery
  • Surgical technique and expertise
At Bavishi Fertility Institute, we focus on personalised treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all success claims.

Removing cavity-distorting fibroids can improve fertility outcomes, though results depend on other factors and cannot be guaranteed.

Risks & considerations

Not all fibroids need surgery

Surgical risks & healing

Myomectomy is surgery, and the uterus needs time to heal.

How We Help: Minimally-invasive technique and planned recovery keep risks low before conception.

Possible recurrence

New fibroids can sometimes form later.

How We Help: We plan conception within a sensible window after surgery.

FAQ

Fibroids — your questions answered

Yes. Myomectomy removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus, using minimally-invasive hysteroscopic or laparoscopic techniques where possible.

It depends on the fibroid and the repair, but the uterus is usually given a few months to heal. Your surgeon will advise a safe window.
