Cervical Fibroid Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Cervical fibroid removal is surgery to remove a fibroid, or myoma, located in the cervix rather than the main body of the uterus, and it is available in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic. Cervical fibroids are less common than uterine fibroids but can cause pressure, abnormal bleeding, pain, or interfere with fertility depending on their size and position. Removing the fibroid can relieve these symptoms and, in some cases, improve fertility outcomes.

The surgery is carried out in our on-site day theatre under regional or general anaesthesia. Your doctor will assess the fibroid's size and position before advising on the best surgical approach.

What to expect

• An examination and imaging to confirm the fibroid's size and position
• Regional or general anaesthesia depending on the approach used
• Surgery time varies depending on the fibroid's size and location
• Some bleeding, cramping, or discharge afterwards is normal during healing
• Your doctor will advise on activity restrictions and follow-up care
