Question 1

will insurance cover my myomectomy?

Accepted Answer

Prior authorization: A patient, who has been recommended to undergo a certain procedure may ask her doctor to obtain "prior authorization" from her insurance carrier. The doctor will need to provide a diagnosis code and a procedure code and the insurance carrier will then determine, whether the procedure is covered under your plan.

Question 2

is myomectomy a very common procedure?

Accepted Answer

YES: Myomectomy surgery involves removing the fibroid tumors from the uterus. We usually remove the fibroids instead of a hysterectomy when the woman wants fertility, the fibroids are limited in size and number, or the woman does not want hysterectomy. If the surgery is with laparoscopy, the recovery is much easier than hysterectomy or open myomectomy. Talk with your gyn about the options. Best wishes.

Question 3

what diet to have after open myomectomy?

Accepted Answer

Check with your: Doctor, but i don't usually have any dietary restrictions after a myomectomy.  However, the majority of my myomectomies are done minimally invasive using the davinci robotic system. If you haven't had your surgery yet, ask about minimally invasive options.

Question 4

will you ovulate after myomectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A myomectomy is simply removing a fibroid from the uterus or cervix. It should not greatly interfere with your ovulatory patterns. So, within 4-6 weeks from surgery ovulation should be the same as it was before.

See myomectomy MD: You need to go back to your myomectomy MD and have him/her check for additional fibroids especially ones that are under the endometrium(lining of the womb) called a sub mucous fibroid. Multiple recurrent fibroids are very common even after myomectomy.
