Expert Ovarian Cyst CareRobotic Laparoscopic Relief from Pain & Bloating
Ovarian cysts affect millions of women. And yet so many still wait months before seeking help, simply because they are not sure their discomfort is “serious enough.” It is. Dr. Amita Shah is here to make sure you never have to sit with that uncertainty again.With advanced robotic laparoscopic treatment for ovarian cysts, relief is not just possible. It is closer than you think.
What Is Actually Happening Inside Your Body
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop within the muscle wall of the uterus. Also known as leiomyomas or myomas, they’re one of the most common gynecological conditions – affecting up to 80% of women by the age of 50. The good news? With the right treatment, they’re very much manageable.
Symptoms to Watch For
You don’t have to normalise these symptoms. If any of the following sound familiar, it’s worth getting checked:
- Heavy or prolonged periods, sometimes with blood clots
- Frequent urination or trouble fully emptying the bladder
- Pain during intercourse
- A feeling of pelvic pressure, fullness, or bloating
- Constipation or pain during bowel movements
- Persistent lower back or abdominal pain
Types of Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids aren’t one-size-fits-all – their location determines the symptoms they cause and how they’re treated:
- Intramural Fibroids – The most common type, growing within the uterine muscle wall; often responsible for heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure
- Subserosal Fibroids – Found on the outer surface of the uterus; can press on nearby organs as they grow
- Submucosal Fibroids – Develop just beneath the uterine lining; closely linked to heavy bleeding and fertility challenges
- Cervical Fibroids – Grow in the cervical wall, the lower portion of the uterus
- Pedunculated Fibroids – Attached to the uterus by a stalk, either inside or outside
Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids
Every woman’s situation is different, and so is the treatment plan Dr. Amita Shah recommends.
Medication is often the first step, especially for women with mild to moderate symptoms:
- Hormonal therapies – including oral contraceptives, progestogens, and GnRH agonists or antagonists – help manage heavy bleeding and pelvic discomfort
- Selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs) can reduce both bleeding and fibroid size when used intermittently
- NSAIDs offer effective short-term pain relief
Keep in mind that medication controls symptoms but doesn’t permanently remove fibroids. Long-term use also comes with certain limitations.
For women who want more lasting results without major surgery:
- Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE) – Cuts off blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink over time
- Radiofrequency Ablation – Uses controlled heat to destroy fibroid tissue, performed laparoscopically or vaginally
- MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound – Targets and ablates fibroid tissue using sound wave energy
- Endometrial Ablation – Removes the uterine lining to reduce bleeding; doesn’t eliminate fibroids but helps manage symptoms.
When fibroids are large, numerous, or causing serious problems, surgery may be the most effective solution:
- Myomectomy – Removes fibroids while preserving the uterus and fertility; can be performed via hysteroscopy, robotic laparoscopy, or open surgery
- Hysterectomy – Complete removal of the uterus; a permanent cure for fibroids, but fertility is no longer possible
Surgery is generally recommended when symptoms are severe, fibroids are large, or when preserving the uterus isn’t the priority.
Why Choose Robotic Myomectomy?
For women who want to keep their uterus and protect their fertility, myomectomy is the gold standard – and the robotic approach takes it to a whole new level.
Traditional open myomectomy works, but it means a large incision and a longer, more uncomfortable recovery. Standard laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, but it has real limitations when fibroids are large, numerous, or sitting in tricky locations. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) resolves both of these issues.
Dr. Amita Shah operates through tiny 0.5–2 cm incisions with 3D visualisation and robotic precision that simply isn’t possible with conventional techniques. The robotic system gives her exceptional control – enabling fine, delicate movements and multi-layer uterine closure that’s critical for women planning future pregnancies.
