A noteworthy gynecological case was successfully managed at Sushruta Multispecialty Hospital & Research Centre, where Dr Ramalingappa Antaratani, assisted by Dr Sangeeta Antaratani, performed a Laparoscopic Myomectomy for a young patient diagnosed with a subserous fibroid uterus.
Patient Presentation
A 21-year-old unmarried female patient presented with:
- Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding)
- Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) for the past 3 months
The symptoms were significantly affecting her daily activities and quality of life.
Clinical Evaluation & Diagnosis
The patient underwent:
- Detailed clinical examination
- Blood investigations
- Pelvic ultrasound scan
Findings:
A 12-week size enlarged uterus with a subserous fibroid was identified.
Final Diagnosis:
✅ Fibroid Uterus with Subserous Fibroid
Subserous fibroids develop on the outer surface of the uterus and may cause:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain and pressure
- Menstrual irregularities
- Abdominal discomfort
Fertility-Preserving Minimally Invasive Surgery
Considering the patient’s young age and future fertility concerns, the surgical team performed:
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Procedure Highlights:
- Surgery performed under general anesthesia
- Minimally invasive laparoscopic technique used
- Approximately 250 grams fibroid specimen successfully removed
A myomectomy allows removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, making it an ideal option for young women planning future pregnancies.
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic myomectomy offers:
✔ Smaller incisions
✔ Less postoperative pain
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Minimal blood loss
✔ Better cosmetic outcome
✔ Preservation of fertility potential
The patient had a smooth postoperative recovery and was discharged uneventfully after 4 days.
Why Early Fibroid Diagnosis Matters
Fibroids are common but should not be ignored, especially when symptoms include:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Severe menstrual pain
- Pelvic pressure
- Increasing abdominal size
- Fatigue due to blood loss
Early intervention helps prevent complications and allows more conservative treatment options.
