Navya Singh, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Navya Singh, a 32-year-old software engineer, had been trying to conceive for over two years. She experienced increasingly painful, heavy periods and deep pain during intercourse. After initial fertility tests were normal, an ultrasound revealed multiple large fibroids distorting the shape of her uterine cavity. Her obstetrician-gynecologist recommended a hysteroscopic myomectomy to remove the fibroids, explaining it would improve her symptoms and her chances of pregnancy. Navya underwent the minimally invasive procedure, which used a camera and instruments inserted through the cervix, avoiding external incisions. Her recovery at home took about a week, with mild cramping and spotting. At her follow-up, the uterine cavity was clear. Emotionally, Navya felt a heavy cloud of frustration and grief lift after the procedure. While her fertility journey continues, she now feels hopeful and empowered, freed from the debilitating pain that had overshadowed her life.
