Dr Pujitha said that the surgery is a good example to prove not all fibroids require removal of the uterus.

Fibroids have the potential to cause infertility, miscarriage in pregnancy, can cause fetal growth restrictions and preterm deliveries. Not only young women planning for pregnancy but also those not planning, should not go for removal of the uterus at least till the age of 45 years, she added.
