Why consider treatment in India?

Many international patients consider India for uterine fibroids treatment for several reasons, including:

More affordable estimates

Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.

Internationally accredited hospitals

Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.

Experienced specialists

Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.

Care coordination support

A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.

About the Procedure

What is Myomectomy?

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (benign muscular tumours of the uterus) while preserving the uterus itself, making it the preferred option for women who wish to retain fertility or avoid hysterectomy. It is recommended when fibroids cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, or infertility. The technique used depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids.

Who may be considered?

Myomectomy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

An open surgical approach through a lower abdominal incision, best suited for large, numerous, or deeply embedded fibroids that cannot be safely managed laparoscopically.

3 approaches available for this procedure:

Abdominal (Open) Myomectomy

For Large/Multiple Fibroids

An open surgical approach through a lower abdominal incision, best suited for large, numerous, or deeply embedded fibroids that cannot be safely managed laparoscopically.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $200 - $500

Pelvic ultrasound, MRI pelvis, CBC, blood grouping, coagulation profile, hormonal panel, ECG, endometrial biopsy (if indicated)

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $3,200 - $5,800

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~4-5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14-18 days recommended
Total stay: approx 19-24 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Surgeon and anaesthesia fees
  • Operation theatre and hospital stay
  • Standard ward/room accommodation
  • Routine post-op medications
  • Follow-up consultation before discharge

Usually Not Included

  • International/domestic flights
  • Visa and travel insurance
  • Hotel/guest house stay before and after admission
  • Blood transfusion (if required)
  • ICU stay in case of complications

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery time depends on the surgical approach, ranging from about a week after hysteroscopic myomectomy to 4-6 weeks after open abdominal myomectomy, with heavy lifting and strenuous activity avoided during this period. A follow-up scan is usually advised to confirm uterine healing before resuming fertility attempts.

Risks

As with any uterine surgery, risks may include bleeding, infection, scarring, uterine rupture in future pregnancies, and rarely, recurrence of fibroids requiring further treatment. The surgical team will assess individual risk factors before recommending the safest approach.

Alternatives

Depending on symptom severity and fertility goals, alternatives may include uterine fibroid embolization, medical management with hormonal therapy, MRI-guided focused ultrasound, or hysterectomy for women who do not wish to preserve the uterus.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

  • MRI pelvis with fibroid mapping (if available)
  • Recent CBC and coagulation profile
  • Hormonal assessment (if performed)
  • Endometrial biopsy report (if done)
  • Details of current symptoms and menstrual history
  • Previous surgical or fertility treatment records
  • Consultation notes from treating gynaecologist

Patient information needed

  • Age and desire for future fertility
  • Number, size, and location of fibroids
  • Severity and pattern of menstrual bleeding or pain
  • Any history of infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Current medications and known allergies
  • Associated conditions (anaemia, thyroid disorders, diabetes)

Common questions

FAQs about Myomectomy in Chennai, India

What is Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids (also called leiomyomas or myomas) are benign tumours composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue that grow in or around the uterus. They vary widely in size—from a few millimetres to several centimetres—and in their precise location relative to the uterine layers.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Uterine Fibroids?
Common symptoms include abnormally heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pain or a sensation of pressure, frequent urination, lower back discomfort, and in some cases reduced fertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. The severity of symptoms is strongly influenced by where the fibroid sits—submucosal fibroids (inside the uterine cavity) are more likely to affect bleeding and fertility, while subserosal fibroids (on the outer surface) more often cause pressure symptoms. It is important to note that similar symptoms can arise from other gynaecological conditions, so symptoms alone are not sufficient to establish a diagnosis.
How is Uterine Fibroids diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a pelvic examination followed by transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound, which can confirm the presence, number, size, and approximate location of fibroids. Where more detailed anatomical information is needed—particularly before surgical planning—an MRI of the pelvis provides precise mapping of fibroid type (submucosal, intramural, or subserosal) and any proximity to surrounding structures. Blood tests, including a full blood count, are commonly ordered to assess for anaemia resulting from chronic blood loss; in some cases saline-infusion sonography or hysteroscopy may be used to evaluate the uterine cavity directly.
How is Uterine Fibroids treated?
The appropriate treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the size and location of fibroids, a woman's age, and her reproductive intentions, and must be determined through individual assessment by a qualified clinician. Options range from watchful waiting and medical management for mild or asymptomatic cases, through to minimally invasive procedures and conventional surgery for more significant disease. Myomectomy—surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus—is a commonly performed procedure for women who wish to retain fertility or prefer uterus-sparing treatment.
Can Uterine Fibroids be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical management is a meaningful pathway for many women with fibroids, particularly those with mild symptoms or who are approaching menopause, when fibroids tend to shrink naturally. Medical options may include hormonal therapies (such as combined oral contraceptives, progestogens, or GnRH analogues) to reduce bleeding and, in some cases, temporarily reduce fibroid size, as well as non-hormonal medications to manage heavy menstrual bleeding. An intrauterine device (IUD) releasing levonorgestrel may also be considered in selected cases; however, the suitability of any medical treatment depends on individual circumstances and must be evaluated by a clinician.
When is Myomectomy considered for Uterine Fibroids?
Myomectomy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are primarily evaluated and managed by a gynaecologist, and where surgery is being considered, a gynaecological surgeon with specific experience in uterine-preserving procedures such as myomectomy. In cases involving fertility concerns, referral to a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist may also form part of a coordinated care plan.
How do I choose a doctor for Uterine Fibroids?
When selecting a specialist, it is worth looking for a gynaecologist or gynaecological surgeon with documented experience in managing fibroids across a range of sizes and locations, access to high-quality pelvic imaging, and—if surgery is being considered—a clear record of performing myomectomy by the approach most appropriate for your case (hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, or open). Confirming that the treating team offers structured follow-up and can coordinate care with fertility specialists or haematologists if needed is equally important.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
