Anika Bhatia, a 42-year-old marketing executive...
Anika Bhatia, a 42-year-old marketing executive and mother of two teenagers, had always been active. Over the past year, she experienced increasingly heavy and painful periods, often forcing her to miss work. She also felt a constant, dull pressure in her pelvis and needed to urinate frequently. Initially, she attributed it to perimenopause and stress. A routine pelvic exam revealed an enlarged uterus, and a subsequent ultrasound confirmed a large, symptomatic fibroid tumor. Her gynecologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that while fibroids are typically benign, Anika's symptoms were severely impacting her quality of life. She recommended a myomectomy (surgical removal of the fibroid) to preserve the uterus. Anika was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. She underwent a laparoscopic myomectomy, which was minimally invasive. The recovery was smoother than she feared; she was home in two days and back to light duties in two weeks. Six months later, her periods are normal, the pelvic pressure is gone, and she has her energy back. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and resigned to being empowered and grateful. She regrets not seeking help sooner but is thrilled to have her life back without a major organ being removed.
