I found out I have a 6cm fibroid near my left ovary and my doctor recommended laparoscopy - can this type of surgery completely remove it or would I need a bigger abdominal operation? I'm worried about whether laparoscopy will be enough to take care of it or if the fibroid might need more invasive treatment

A 6cm fibroid near your left ovary warrants consideration for removal, and laparoscopy is a viable option. Laparoscopy allows for minimally invasive surgical removal of fibroids, particularly those up to 7-8cm, according to Ankuran IVF Clinic. Your doctor's recommendation is likely due to the fibroid's size, its location near the ovary, and potentially the presence of symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain.

My mom is 40 and was just diagnosed with a bulky uterus with multiple fibroids and a right hemorrhagic ovarian cyst that's 3126 mm in her right ovary. We're really worried and confused about whether surgery or medication would be the better treatment option for her. What do you suggest is the best way to handle this?
It's understandable that you're worried about your mom's diagnosis. Since she's 40 and has both fibroids and a large ovarian cyst, the best approach is to have a thorough discussion with her gynecologist. They will need to assess her symptoms, consider her future fertility desires, and determine the best treatment plan for her specific situation

My recent USG pelvis scan showed a uterine polyp and bilateral ovarian cysts. The doctor recommended having hysteroscopy and laparoscopy done together. Is it safe to get both surgeries at the same time? What are the pros and cons of combining them versus doing them separately?
