Frequently Asked Questions

Neurological disorders are differentiated based on the following: Genetic defects: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and epilepsy can run in families. Anatomic or structural defects: Bell's palsy, cervical spondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome. Degenerative changes due to age: stroke, dementia, precipitation of Parkinson's. Blood supply issues(vascular) like brain damage, memory loss, and vascular dementia. Cancer: paraneoplastic disorders of the nervous tissues can cause problems like loss of consciousness, loss of muscle movement, thinking, memory, and sensory perception. Injuries and trauma related: can be due to physical(acute spinal cord injury, ALS, Ataxia) or emotional trauma(adverse childhood experiences can precipitate neurological symptoms). Infections: several viral infections can cause neurological disorders like meningitis, encephalitis, chickenpox, and polio. Seizure disorders: epilepsy.

In medical terms, a neurological disorder can be defined as a disease, abnormality, or disorder affecting the brain, nerves, spinal cord, or nervous tissue present anywhere in the body. These disorders involve all electrical, biochemical, and structural problems related to the organs of the nervous system.

During Myomectomy the fibroid tissues in the uterus are excavated, while in Hysterectomy complete uterus is removed.

A woman may probably experience changes in her menstrual cycle after undergoing a myomectomy. This may include heavier or lighter periods, longer or shorter periods, and more or less frequent periods. Hormonal imbalances, abdominal discomfort, and fatigue are also possible changes.

It will depend on the extent of the surgery and how much tissue was removed. There might be brown or reddish-brown vaginal discharge or spotting for a few weeks after surgery. This is normal. Your first two periods are expected to start early or late. Some women may have a longer or heavier period than others. It is imperative to speak with your doctor about what to expect.

Generally, women are advised to rest for at least two to three days after the procedure. In addition, they are advised to avoid strenuous activities for four to six weeks. After that, it is wise to gradually increase activity levels, while still avoiding activities that may be too strenuous. However, it takes a woman about six weeks to recover fully after surgery.

An abdominal incision may be required depending on the size and location of the fibroids, making the surgery a major one.

If a woman tends to grow fibroids, new fibroids may grow. It is possible that the underlying causes of fibroids, such as hormonal imbalances and genetic predisposition, could still exist. It is necessary to repeat surgery after a few years in this case.
