Mediglobe collaborates with hospitals in Turkey for Myomas (Uterine Fibroids) Surgery

Myomas, commonly known as uterine fibroids, are a topic shrouded in mystery and often anxiety for many women. Yet, they are an incredibly common reality. Affecting up to 70-80% of women by the age of 50, myomas are a significant part of women’s healthcare. Understanding what they are, their potential impact, and the wide range of available treatments is crucial for empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Therefore, Mediglobe recommends affordable, high-quality treatments. Moreover, Mediglobe is in cooperation with hospitals in Turkey that work to European and American standards and have accreditation.

What Are Myomas (Uterine Fibroids)?

Myomas are non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. Their size, number, and location can vary dramatically—from tiny, seed-sized nodules to large masses that can distort the shape and

size of the uterus. Doctors classify them based on where they grow:

• Submucosal: Grow into the uterine cavity. These are often associated with heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Intramural: Grow within the muscular wall of the uterus, the most common type.
• Subserosal: Project outward from the uterine surface.
• Pedunculated: Attached to the uterus by a stalk, either inside or outside the cavity.

Symptoms:

One of the most important things to know is that many women with myomas experience no symptoms at all. They are often discovered incidentally during a routine pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

• Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding: This is the most common symptom, which can lead to anaemia (fatigue, weakness).
• Pelvic Pain or Pressure: A feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen, sometimes described as “feeling pregnant.”
• Pelvic Pain: Especially during menstruation or intercourse.
• Urinary Frequency or Difficulty Emptying the Bladder: Due to pressure on the bladder.
• Constipation or Rectal Pressure: From myomas pressing on the bowel.
• Backache or Leg Pains.
• Reproductive Challenges: Depending on location, myomas can sometimes contribute to infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or complications during pregnancy.

Mediglobe recommends you a Myoma (Uterine Fibroids) treatment and/or surgery package according to your needs.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis typically begins with a pelvic exam. To confirm and map the myomas, your doctor may recommend one or more imaging tests:

• Ultrasound: The most common tool, using sound waves to create a picture.
• Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS): Provides a clearer view of the uterine cavity.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Offers highly detailed images, useful for planning treatment, especially for larger uteri.
• Hysteroscopy: A thin, lighted scope inserted through the cervix to view the inside of the uterus.

Mediglobe collaborates modern hospitals with Turkey, experienced specialists, and recommend personalised treatment plans.

The Spectrum of Treatment:

Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. It depends entirely on symptom severity, the size and location of the myomas, age, and future pregnancy plans. Options range from conservative to surgical.

Conservative & Medical Management:

• Watchful Waiting: For asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic women.
• Medications: Hormonal or non-hormonal

Minimally Invasive Procedures:

• Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Blocks blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.
• MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound: Uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to destroy fibroid tissue.
• Myomectomy: The surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus. This can be done via laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or open abdominal surgery and is the preferred option for women who wish to become pregnant.

Surgical Options (Hysterectomy):

The surgical removal of the uterus. This is the only definitive cure for fibroids and eliminates any chance of recurrence. It is considered when symptoms are severe, other treatments have failed, or childbearing is complete.

Mediglobe cooperates with hospitals in Turkey with high success rates for Myoma (Uterine Fibroids) Surgery (Myoma Surgery is highly successful, with general success rates cited between 85% and 95%).
