Effect of Myomectomy
Simple Guide
1. Submucosal fibroids cause sub-fertility & miscarriage:
- warrant hysteroscopic removal
2. Fibroids distorting the uterine cavity are likely to impair reproduction: - warrant removal
3. Intramural non-cavity distorting fibroids could impair fertility, but evidence of benefit after removal is inconclusive (if over 5cm, may warrant removal)
4. Subserosal fibroids: - probably don’t warrant removal
