Dr. Udita Mukherjee - Best Fibroid Specialist in Hyderabad
Uterine fibroids are among the most common reasons women see a gynecologist, yet many live with symptoms for months — or years — before receiving the right diagnosis. Persistent heavy periods, constant pelvic pressure, back pain that won’t settle, and difficulty conceiving are not things you should accept as normal. If any of this sounds familiar, consulting a fibroid specialist in Hyderabad is the right first step.
At our practice, we see women at every stage — from those with a brand-new ultrasound finding to those ready for lasting fibroid treatment in Hyderabad after years of managing symptoms. Dr. Udita Mukherjee (MRCOG, UK | FMAS | DNB — Obs & Gynae) brings over a decade of specialist experience in minimally invasive gynecological surgery, giving you a clear picture of your condition, your options, and realistic outcomes — without rushing you toward any procedure before it is necessary.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Fibroids — clinically known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas — are non-cancerous growths arising from the muscle wall of the uterus. They vary from pea-sized to melon-sized and may appear as a single nodule or in clusters. Where a fibroid sits, not just how large it is, largely determines what symptoms it causes.
The four main types based on location:
-
Intramural fibroids
within the uterine muscle wall; the most frequently diagnosed type. -
Submucosal fibroids
just beneath the inner uterine lining; most likely to cause heavy bleeding and fertility issues. -
Subserosal fibroids
on the outer surface of the uterus; typically cause pelvic pressure and bladder symptoms. -
Pedunculated fibroids
well attached to the uterus by a slender stalk, either inside or outside the cavity
Fibroids are not cancerous and do not become cancerous. Even so, they can seriously affect your quality of life and, in certain cases, your ability to really conceive or carry a pregnancy to term.
Symptoms That Bring Women to a Fibroid Specialist
Some fibroids are discovered incidentally on a routine scan and cause no symptoms at all. When symptoms do appear, they are usually hard to ignore:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding — often with clots — that soaks through protection within an hour
- Periods lasting longer than seven days
- A persistent feeling of heaviness or pressure in the lower abdomen
- Frequent urination or incomplete bladder emptying
- Lower back or leg pain with no other identifiable cause
- A visibly firm or swollen lower abdomen
- Unexplained difficulty conceiving or a history of repeated miscarriages
If you have been experiencing one or more of these symptoms without investigation, early evaluation gives you the widest range of treatment choices.
Fibroid Treatment in Hyderabad: Understanding Your Options
A fibroid diagnosis does not automatically mean surgery. The best approach depends on fibroid size and location, symptom severity, your age, and whether you plan to have children.
Medical Management (Non-Surgical)
For smaller fibroids or milder symptoms, hormonal therapies — such as GnRH agonists or progesterone-based medications — can control bleeding, reduce pain, and temporarily reduce fibroid size. Medication addresses symptoms rather than removing the growth itself, so symptoms often return after treatment ends.
Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal (Laparoscopic Myomectomy)
Women who want fibroids removed while keeping the uterus intact — particularly those planning a future pregnancy — should specifically seek a laparoscopic fibroid removal specialist in Hyderabad. In a laparoscopic myomectomy, fibroids are excised through three to four small abdominal incisions using a high-definition camera and precision instruments. There is no large scar, blood loss is minimal, and recovery is dramatically shorter than open surgery — typically five to seven days versus four to six weeks.
Dr. Udita Mukherjee, who holds a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (FMAS), performs laparoscopic myomectomy. She has successfully completed this procedure across a broad spectrum of fibroid sizes and anatomical positions, including large, multiple, and technically demanding cases.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
For fibroids located beneath the uterine lining (submucosal) that bulge into the cavity, hysteroscopic resection is the preferred treatment. This minimally invasive approach avoids abdominal incisions entirely by inserting a slender telescope through the cervix to excise the growth from within the uterus. Recovery is rapid, and this approach produces excellent outcomes for women whose main concerns are heavy bleeding and fertility.
Hysterectomy (Last Resort)
Removal of the uterus permanently eliminates fibroids and is considered only when all other options have failed or are medically inappropriate — for example, in women with very large or numerous fibroids causing debilitating symptoms who have completed their family. We do not recommend hysterectomy as an initial treatment.
Fibroids and Fertility: What You Need to Know
The question we hear most often is: “Will fibroids stop me from getting pregnant?” The answer depends heavily on the fibroid location.
Submucosal fibroids, which encroach on the uterine cavity, are most strongly linked to implantation failure and elevated miscarriage risk. Removing them — typically through hysteroscopy — frequently improves conception rates. Intramural and subserosal fibroids are less likely to disrupt fertility unless they are particularly large or positioned near the fallopian tube openings.
If you are planning a pregnancy and fibroids have been identified, a pre-conception consultation is strongly advisable. We work hand-in-hand with our fertility specialist team to manage cases where fibroids and fertility concerns intersect, and with our infertility treatment team where broader reproductive challenges are also present.
What to Expect at Your First Consultation
- A thorough review of your symptoms, menstrual history, pregnancy history, and prior test results
- A pelvic examination to determine the uterine scale and feel for any atypical masses or changes
- Review of existing ultrasound reports — or guidance on arranging a scan if one has not been done
- A clear, plain-language explanation of your fibroid type, size, and position based on imaging
- An honest discussion of all relevant options — medical, laparoscopic, and hysteroscopic
- A personalized recommendation shaped by your symptoms, fertility plans, and personal preferences
We do not steer women toward surgery. Our role is to provide you with complete, accurate information so that every decision is yours to make.
When Should You Not Wait to See a Fibroid Specialist in Hyderabad?
Many fibroids can be monitored safely over time. However, you should schedule an appointment without delay if:
- Bleeding is heavy enough to cause anemia — persistent fatigue, breathlessness, or dizziness
- You have been trying to conceive for six months or more without success, and fibroids are present on a scan
- You have had two or more miscarriages, and fibroids have been identified
- Pelvic pain is disrupting your daily work, sleep, or routine
- Your lower abdomen is visibly swollen and continuing to enlarge
- Bladder or bowel function is being affected
In any of these situations, timely uterine fibroid removal in Hyderabad is in your best interest — both to relieve symptoms and to protect long-term fertility and wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fibroid Treatment in Hyderabad
Fibroids seldom resolve on their own during reproductive years. After menopause, they often shrink as estrogen levels fall. If your fibroids are causing heavy bleeding, pain, or fertility problems, watchful waiting is rarely the right approach. A consultation will clarify whether monitoring or active treatment better suits your situation.
Yes. Laparoscopic myomectomy is always performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a maximum one- to two-night hospital stay. Most patients return to light activity within a week and resume normal work within 10 to 14 days — a dramatically faster recovery than with open abdominal surgery.
Yes. Laparoscopic myomectomy is specifically designed to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus, and many women go on to achieve successful pregnancies afterward. We generally advise waiting three to six months after surgery before attempting conception to allow complete uterine healing.
This depends on fibroid size and location, the nature of your symptoms, and your fertility plans. Medication suits smaller fibroids with manageable symptoms. Surgery becomes more appropriate when fibroids are large, multiple, affecting fertility, or causing significant disruption to daily life. We discuss this in detail at your first consultation.
Large fibroid cases require greater surgical skill and experience, but they are very much manageable laparoscopically in experienced hands. Dr. Udita Mukherjee assesses each patient individually and will advise you honestly on whether a laparoscopic approach is appropriate for your specific fibroid size and position.
Cost varies depending on procedure type and complexity. A clear estimate is provided at your first consultation, once your scan has been reviewed and your case discussed. Most health insurance plans cover myomectomy procedures.
