I have fibroids one outside the uterine wall and three inside the uterus but outside the cavity. Two are quite large, so my doctor suggested laparoscopy surgery. Can you explain how this procedure works? Is it similar to a C-section where the uterus is stitched, and could it affect my fertility in the future?
