Fibroids and Fertility: What You Need to Know

What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They vary in size and number, and while some cause no symptoms at all, others can lead to:

• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination
• Difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy

Do Fibroids Affect Fertility?

In many cases, fibroids don’t interfere with fertility. However, large or strategically located fibroids—particularly those inside the uterine cavity—can distort the uterus, interfere with implantation, or increase the risk of miscarriage.

Specialised Surgical Options

If fibroids are affecting your ability to conceive or causing significant symptoms, surgery may be recommended. Mr. Tony Chalhoub specialises in robotic and laparoscopic myomectomy, a minimally invasive, fertility-preserving procedure that removes fibroids while protecting healthy uterine tissue.

Why Robotic Surgery?

With over 1,500 robotic surgeries performed, Mr. Chalhoub offers:

✔ Smaller incisions and less scarring

✔ Faster recovery times

✔ Minimal impact on future pregnancies

✔ A 99% same-day discharge rate

You Don’t Have to Choose Between Health and Fertility

Mr. Chalhoub takes a holistic, patient-first approach—ensuring every woman receives a personalised care plan that aligns with her fertility goals. If you’ve been told your fibroids are untreatable or that surgery is risky, a second opinion could make all the difference.
