A myomectomy removes fibroids from the womb while leaving the womb in place, and is generally chosen by women who want to keep the option of pregnancy.

Fibroids inside the womb cavity can be removed through the vagina with a hysteroscope, keyhole surgery suits some fibroids in the womb wall and open surgery is used for large or numerous fibroids.

The NHS observes that fibroid surgery is considered when medicines do not help, the fibroids are large or symptoms are getting worse.

The NHS advises discussing fertility plans with your doctor, as some treatments affect later pregnancy, and a planned caesarean might be recommended after a deep myomectomy.

New fibroids can grow after surgery, so some women need further treatment later.

Fitness to fly: the UK Civil Aviation Authority's medical guidance advises waiting 10 days after open surgery on the abdomen, so allow roughly two weeks in Chennai.

In Chennai, the price of myomectomy is generally built from these parts:

• Tests beforehand: bloods, scans and a check by the anaesthetist.
• Operating theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on time spent in theatre.
• Specialist fees: which are set by each hospital.
• Surgical approach: open, keyhole or robotic, where more than one is possible.
• Hysteroscopic, keyhole or open: the approach.
• Number and size of fibroids: the complexity.
• Blood loss and transfusion: a risk with large fibroids.
• Length of stay: day case to a number of days.

Ask whether the Chennai price estimate covers the surgeon, theatre, anaesthetist, room, medicines and review appointments, as these are frequently billed separately.

Gynaecology in Chennai is offered by multi-speciality and women's hospitals, with keyhole and hysteroscopic surgery widely available.
