02/05/2020 MyoSure Fibroid and Polyp Removal ProcedureMyoSure fibroid and polyp removal procedure is a safe and easy method of removing any submucosal fibroids and polyps from the uterus. This method consists of removing the fibroids and polyps without cutting the uterus. MyoSure procedure is recommended for women who want to keep their uterus intact and functional, allowing them to conceive in the future.
What are Uterine Fibroids?Uterine fibroids are non – cancerous tissue growths inside of the muscles of the uterine wall. Fibroids vary in size and shape. They can be multiple or single fibroids. There are different types of uterine fibroids:

• Submucosal fibroids
• Intramural fibroids
• Subserosal fibroids
• Pedunculated fibroids

What are Uterine Polyps?Uterine polyps are non – cancerous protrusions of the endometrial tissue on the uterine lining. They are usually small, but as they grow they become fragile and bleed. Due to their fragility, uterine polyps are one of the main reasons of uterine bleeding. Uterine polyps, once removed, can recur.
How are Uterine Fibroids and Polyps Diagnosed?If uterine fibroids or uterine polyps are suspected the following examinations are usually performed:

• Hysteroscopy – consists of inserting the hysteroscope (a thin, lighted and flexible telescope that allows visibility of the uterus). The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix, which are first dilated with the help of a speculum. Hysteroscopy allows the doctor the examine the inside of the uterus and if any polyps are found, they can be removed.
• Transvaginal ultrasound – consists of inserting a wand-like device inside of the vagina. This device emits ultrasounds which allow a good visualization of the interior of the uterus.
• Hysterosonography – consists of injecting saline inside of the uterus through a catheter through the vagina and cervix. The saline helps the uterus expand, which gives a better visualization of the inside of the uterus.
• Curettage – consists of inserting a curet (a long metal instrument with a loop) which helps scrape the uterine walls. Curettage is used to take biopsy samples or even remove a polyp.
