Uterine fibroids and polyps can form on the tissue of your uterine. If left untreated, they can cause infertility, abdominal pain, irregular bleeding and lengthy, heavy periods. In the past, treatment included hysterectomy, but today, there are better, faster and cheaper alternatives, including the Hologic Myosure tissue removal system.<\/p>\n
Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2009, the Myosure procedure safely removes fibroids and polyps without cutting your skin or subjecting you to general anesthesia. Best of all, the procedure can be performed in your Midtown gynecologist\u2019s<\/a> office, usually within a half hour. The result leaves your uterus intact while resolving the causes of your symptoms. You should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician \u00a0for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.<\/span><\/p>\n Most women know what a polyp is if they know anyone who\u2019s been through a colonoscopy. Polyps are excess tissue that sprouts from the inner lining of your uterus. Like polyps in your colon, these polyps form small oval or round balloons, attached to the uterine lining by a thin stem. They don\u2019t get bigger than a golf ball and are usually much smaller. Most often, they appear in older women who have reached a postmenopausal or perimenopausal age.<\/p>\n Fibroids, on the other hand, are composed of hard muscle that grows from your uterine muscular layer. If you\u2019re feeling abdominal pain and heavy periods, you may have uterine fibroids, since polyps aren\u2019t known to cause much pain. And while fibroids can stay small, they can become much bigger than polyps \u2014 as large as a watermelon.<\/p>\n Both fibroids and polyps form from hormonal imbalances. Both interfere with conception, similar to an intrauterine device<\/u><\/a>. Fibroids often cause pain while polyps often lead to bleeding and spotting. But both can be removed using the Hologic Myosure procedure.<\/p>\n The Myosure tissue removal system represents a leap forward for removing polyps and fibroids from your uterus. It\u2019s a smaller tool, which requires less dilation, increases precision, and eliminates the need for general anesthesia. Your gynecologist or gynecology in Midtown<\/a>\u00a0surgeon can perform the procedure in the office without a hospital visit. The entire process can take as little as 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Using the Hologic Myosure system, gynecologist in Midtown, our doctors can remove the tissue that has been causing you pain and bleeding. Your doctor doesn\u2019t need to cut through your skin anywhere, and a local anesthetic suffices for controlling any pain. The procedure leaves your uterus intact and doesn\u2019t disrupt your menstrual cycle or your hormone production.<\/p>\n Our gynecologists follow three steps to complete the procedure:<\/p>\n The starting point is getting an accurate diagnosis. If your gynecologist can rule out other causes of your abnormal bleeding or abdominal pain, a Myosure procedure could be right for you.\u00a0 However, you should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician \u00a0for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition. <\/span>Before you commit to it, though, consider these factors:<\/p>\n These factors and others should be discussed with your physician.<\/p>\n The Myosure tissue removal system lets your gynecologist perform a myomectomy to remove fibroids and\/or a polypectomy to remove polyps from your uterus. The procedure boasts many benefits, such as:<\/p>\n After the anesthetic wears off following your Myosure procedure, you may feel lightheaded to the point of nausea, and you may feel some cramping. These are normal reactions and aren\u2019t dangerous. It\u2019s rare that a woman suffers side effects or complications from this procedure.<\/p>\n In general, you\u2019ll need a day or two before you can return to your normal schedule. Keep in mind that everyone recovers at a slightly different rate. You may bounce back quickly or need a few extra days. Your ability to recover depends on your condition before the procedure, as well as how closely you follow your Midtown gynecologist\u2019s post-procedural instructions.<\/p>\n Give your body about three months to fully heal. You can and should monitor your menstrual cycle, but be aware that you may need those three months to get back to your normal rhythm. You should not experience any severe pain during this period.\u00a0 You should discuss any issues that you are having with your gynecologist.<\/p>\n Even minimally invasive procedures carry some risk. If you have the procedure done, contact your gynecologist if you experience any of the following after the first day of recovery:<\/p>\n All symptoms should always be evaluated with\u00a0a thorough consultation and examination by your gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.<\/p>\n The Hologic Myosure tissue removal system has proven to be a safe and successful treatment for removing polyps and fibroids from your uterus. The procedure is fast, and the recovery time a lot quicker than other alternatives, including a full-fledged hysterectomy. The size of the hysteroscopic tool means your gynecologist can find and remove polyps as small as 2.5 millimeters.<\/p>\n But the first step is an accurate diagnosis into what\u2019s causing your pain, infertility or irregular bleeding. Contact your NYC gynecologist<\/u>\u00a0today.<\/p>\n All symptoms should always be evaluated with\u00a0a thorough consultation and examination by your gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.<\/p>\n Important Reminder:<\/b> This information is only intended to provide guidance, not a definitive medical advice.
