Heavy periods, anaemia, pelvic pain and difficulty conceiving can all come from fibroids or endometriosis. Many women want treatment that keeps the womb. This guide explains when surgery is needed and how keyhole methods make that possible.
Fibroids and endometriosis
Fibroids are benign growths of the womb muscle. Endometriosis is tissue like the womb lining growing outside it, on the ovaries (“chocolate cysts”) and in the pelvis; it is a common cause of painful periods, pain during intercourse and infertility.
Tests
A gynaecological examination, an ultrasound and, where needed, a pelvic MRI. With mild symptoms, monitoring and medication may be enough.
Keeping the womb
Fibroids inside the womb cavity are removed through the cervix without an incision (hysteroscopic myomectomy); fibroids in the wall are removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic myomectomy).
Endometriosis surgery
Deposits and cysts are removed laparoscopically with care to protect ovarian reserve. If the bowel or urinary tract is involved, the operation is planned together with general surgery and urology.
Stay and quote
Usually 1–2 nights in hospital and 5–7 days in Istanbul. The plan depends on your scans, so the price is given in a written quote after the gynaecologist reviews them. Flights are not included.
