FIBROID SURGERY IN KENYA
The type of SURGERY for FIBROIDS removal and the treatment plan may depend not only on the size, location and number of fibroids but also the ultimate wishes of the patient for future pregnancies. Some surgical options preserve the uterus and allow the patient to become pregnant in the future, while other options can either damage or completely remove the uterus.
The type of procedure that may work best for you will depend on where your fibroids are located, how big they are and the number of fibroids they are. At YAMAL’S CLINIC, we apply MYOMECTOMY procedure to remove fibroids. The MYOMECTOMY procedure allows us to remove the fibroids without interfering with the uterus.
Types of Myomectomy
HYSTEROSCOPY: This procedure is done by inserting a scope (a thin, flexible tube-like tool) through the reproductive organ and cervix and into the uterus. No incisions are made during this procedure. Through this procedure, we use the scope to cut away and remove the fibroids.
LAPAROSCOPY: Unlike the Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy Myomectomy involves placing a few small incisions in your abdomen. The procedure scope enters and exits the body, and can also be accomplished with the assistance of a robot.
LAPAROTOMY: During this procedure, an incision is made in your abdomen and the fibroids are removed through one larger cut.
How about if a patient is not planning for future pregnancies?
In case of a decision not to have a pregnancy in the future, there are additional surgical options that we may recommend. We therefore recommend surgical approaches that remove the uterus. These surgeries can be very effective, but they typically prevent future pregnancies. These surgeries to remove fibroids may include:
HYSTERECTOMY: This procedure involves removal of the uterus. A hysterectomy is the only surest way to cure fibroids. By removing your uterus completely, the fibroids cannot come back and their symptoms should go away. However, one will not go into menopause after a hysterectomy procedure. The ovaries still remain in place even with the removal of the uterus.
We might recommend this procedure where a patient is experiencing very heavy bleeding from her fibroids or if her fibroids are large. With this, the most minimally invasive procedure to perform hysteroscopy is advisable. Minimally invasive procedures include vaginal, laparoscopic or robotic approaches.
Can fibroids be prevented?
In general, you cannot prevent fibroids. However, you can reduce your risk by maintaining a healthy body weight and getting regular pelvic exams. If you have small fibroids, we advise that you develop a plan with our clinic to monitor them and advice on the best treatment procedure.
Can one with UTERINE FIBROIDS get pregnant?
Yes, they can get pregnant. We never the less recommend that you get in touch with your healthcare provider to develop a monitoring plan for the fibroids when you get pregnant and you already know you have fibroids. This is because during pregnancy, your body releases elevated levels of hormones and these hormones support the growth of your baby.
However, they can also cause your fibroids to get bigger. Large fibroids can prevent your baby from being able to flip into the correct fetal position, increasing your risk of a breech birth or malpresentation of the fetal head. In very rare cases, you may be at higher risk of a pre-term delivery or a C-section delivery.
Get in touch or visit YAMAL’S CLINIC if you experience any kind of discomfort or pain. Fibroids can be treated and, often, your symptoms can be improved.

UTERINE FIBROIDS are benign (non cancerous) growths that occur within the smooth muscle of the uterus (the myometrium). Typically, UTERINE FIBROIDS are slow growing, benign tumors with the potential of causing pain and stress for women in their childbearing ages.
Our Fibroids treatment plan will depend on factors, including:
• How many fibroids you have
• The size of your fibroids
• Where your fibroids are located
• What symptoms you are experiencing related to the fibroids
• Your desire for pregnancy
• Your desire for uterine preservation
Who is at risk for uterine FIBROIDS?
There are several risk factors that can play a role in your chances of developing fibroids. These can include:
• Obesity and a higher body weight (more than 20% over the weight that's considered healthy for you)
• Family history of fibroids
• Not having children
• Early onset of menstruation (getting your period at a young age)
• Late age for menopause
Most FIBROIDS do not cause any symptoms and don’t require treatment other than regular observation by your healthcare provider.
• Excessive or painful bleeding during your period (menstruation)
• Bleeding between your periods
• Chronic vaginal discharge
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Anemia (low blood count)
• Pelvic pain
• Pelvic or vaginal pressure
• Abdominal cramping
• Abdominal distention

For professional treatment of pain during menstrual periods in women in Nairobi, Kenya; visit Dr Yamal’s Clinic – the clinic dedicated to providing gynecological and Obstetriology solutions, based in Nairobi. We are experts in Endometriosis, the pain causing medical condition, especially during menstrual periods. Lack of effective Endometriosis treatment may develop into infertility.
Do you experience severe or mild pelvic pain and cramping associated with your menstrual cycle? This is a strong symptom of endometriosis. Although many experience cramping during their menstrual periods, those with endometriosis typically describe menstrual pain that's far worse than usual. Pain also may increase over time.
Contact Dr Yamal’s Clinic whenever you experience signs and symptoms of endometriosis such as:
• Painful periods. Pelvic pain and cramping may begin before and extend several days into a menstrual period. You may also have lower back and abdominal pain
• Pain with intercourse. Pain during or after sex is common with endometriosis
• Pain with bowel movements or urination. You're most likely to experience these symptoms during a menstrual period
• Excessive bleeding. You may experience occasional heavy menstrual periods or bleeding between periods (inter-menstrual bleeding)

• Other signs and symptoms. You may experience fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or nausea, especially during menstrual periods.
Endometriosis can be a challenging condition to manage. Through diagnosis, we can detect endometriosis symptoms at an early stage for better management and treatment.

Treatment of Endometriosis in Nairobi
ENDOMETRIOSIS is a disease in which the endometrium (the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus or womb) is present outside of the uterus, typically involving abdominal cramps and painful menstruation in women. ENDOMETRIOSIS is the leading cause of PELVIC PAIN and INFERTILITY in women. It is predominantly common in women of reproductive age, with 50% falling in the 29-39 age range, and about 25% of women being asymptomatic. The associated symptoms can have potential impact in general physical, mental and social well-being on the affected women.
If left untreated, ENDOMETRIOSIS can progress and become severe, which can lead to other conditions such as infertility and increased risk of certain cancers. Endometriosis is rarely found in girls before they start their period, but it is seen in up to half of young girls and teens with pelvic pain and painful periods.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
Women with endometriosis can experience the following
• Chronic pelvic or lower abdominal pain
• Blood in the urine
• Pain with urination
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Severe pain with menstrual periods (dysmenorrhea)
• Pain with sexual intercourse, (dyspareunia)
• Pain during bowel movements (dyschezia)
• Ovulation pain or cyclical (perimenstrual) with or without abnormal bleeding
• Bowel and bladder bloating or constipation
• Infertility - difficulty getting pregnant
• Chronic fatigue
• Lower abdominal pain
• Psychological suffering
The above symptoms have a negative impact on the overall quality of life of women with endometriosis, including their social life, sexual relationships, and work and study productivity, with remarkable social and economic costs involved.
For comprehensive, compassionate and individualized diagnosis and treatment of Endometriosis, book an appointment at DR YAMAL’S CLINIC – the leading Gynecology and Obstetrics clinic in Nairobi, Kenya. We perform laparoscopy to visualize and biopsy suspected endometriosis lesions, while observing mutual respect and sensitivity to our patients’ preferences.
How about hysterectomy?
Well, if a woman with endometriosis is not interested in becoming pregnant, she and her doctor may decide to remove the uterus and possibly the ovaries if other treatments are ineffective. Almost 40% of women with infertility have endometriosis. Inflammation from endometriosis may negatively impact the function of the ovary, egg, fallopian tubes or uterus.
Treatment of Endometriosis
We apply a pragmatic and reasonable approach to medical treatment for endometriosis. Related pain should involve a realistic balance with a long-term view between efficacy, safety, tolerability, and costs, considering women's treatment preferences and their wish for pregnancy.
We highly recommend medical treatment of endometriosis since it ameliorates painful symptoms of the disease and, consequently, reduce the negative impact on quality of life and on mental health of the suffering woman, encourage fertility, eliminate endometrial lesions, and restore the anatomy of the pelvis.
If a woman with endometriosis is having trouble getting pregnant, there are different medications and treatments available that can help her to become pregnant. Depending on the diagnosis results, the treatment of endometriosis can be done either via removal (excision) or burning (fulguration) of endometriosis lesions or surgery (removal of scar tissue) to alleviate pain and relocate the ovaries and fallopian tubes to their normal position in the pelvis.
Is endometriosis cancer?
No, endometriosis is not a type of cancer. However, some research suggests that women with endometriosis may be at a slightly higher risk of developing certain cancers. If you are at risk of gynecologic cancer, please talk to your healthcare provider.
