Myomectomy: It is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. It allows the uterus to be left in place and, for some women, makes pregnancy more likely than before. Myomectomy is the preferred fibroid treatment for women who want to become pregnant.
A 10cm cut was made at my bikini line and the whole process took about 2 hours plus. Before the procedure, I asked Dr Ann's nurse to remember to take pictures for me haha!

After the procedure, Dr Ann came to check on me in the evening. She said that she was pretty surprised when she cut me open. Previously, I mentioned that ultrasound scans can only see a vague number of fibroids eg, 5-10. However, when she was operating, there were about 60 of these small little useless muscles growing in me.
The nurse assisting Dr Ann was so cute. When the procedure ended, Dr Ann was trying to find the nurse - Hooi Nee but to no avail. Then she actually bend down and found Hooi Nee kneeling down, arranging the little fibroids in order hahaha! We had a good laugh about it when she visited us. I guess that is why I feel very comfortable under their care. They not only take great care of me, they would even go to the extend of doing this.

But of course, everything comes with a price. The whole procedure cost me 3 nights in Mount Elizabeth Orchard and a hefty $20,000. Thank God for insurance, it covered most of my bill size.
