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.

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.

Chiefly submucosal fibroids that distort the cavity, and sometimes large intramural fibroids, especially with infertility or recurrent miscarriage.
Yes. Myomectomy removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus, using minimally-invasive hysteroscopic or laparoscopic techniques where possible.
