2. Pelvic pain and discomfort: Large or multiple fibroids can cause pelvic pain, pressure, and urinary or bowel symptoms.
3. Infertility: Fibroids can interfere with fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or distorting the uterine cavity, making it difficult for the embryo to implant.
4. Pregnancy complications: Fibroids can increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and placental abruption. Myomectomy may be considered to improve pregnancy outcomes.
5. Medical necessity: In some cases, myomectomy may be necessary to remove fibroids that are causing life-threatening complications, such as severe anemia or obstruction of the urinary tract.
