MyoSure Fibroids and Polyp Removal
MyoSure® Fibroids And Polyp Removal
MyoSure® Fibroids And Polyp Removal
Is a simple procedure that eliminates intrauterine tissue such as fibroids and polyp without having to remove or even cut the uterus. Your doctor inserts an instrument into the uterus through the vagina to take out the fibroids. Once the fibroids has been removed, your period should go back to normal. The MyoSure procedure is the ideal treatment option if you are looking to reduce your heavy bleeding caused by polyp or fibroids, while retaining a fully functional uterus.
WHAT ARE UTERINE FIBROIDS?
Fibroids are non-cancerous tissue growths in the muscle walls of the uterus. Another medical term for fibroids is “leiomyoma” or just “myoma.” Fibroids can grow as a single mass, or there can be multiple fibroids in the uterus. They can be as small as an apple seed or as big as a grapefruit.
There are several different fibroids types, with different names depending on where they grow on the uterus. Fibroids can grow:
On a stalk either inside or outside the uterus – pedunculated fibroids.
Just below the lining of the uterus – submucosal fibroids.
In the middle of the uterine wall – intramural fibroids.
Under the outer covering of the uterus – subserousal fibroids.
WHAT ARE UTERINE POLYP?
Uterine polyp are protrusions of tissue that grow on the uterine lining (endometrium). Polyp form when the same kind of cells as the lining itself start growing abnormally. They can range in size from a few centimeters (the size of a small seed) up to the size of a golf ball. Over time, they can become fragile and bleed.
If you have fibroids or polyp that are located inside your uterus (submucous fibroid or endometrial polyp), the MyoSure procedure is a safe treatment option. Dr. Gail Pezzullo-Burgs, Dr. Harris, and Dr. Chen will be able to determine the treatment option that best matches your specific condition.
