Editor's Summary
I went through a myomectomy in Samara, and it was a wild ride. The night before, I had to get a colonoscopy, and then another one the morning of the surgery. But the procedure itself was surprisingly painless - more like a series of mild stings. I was back on my feet in no time, and the short recovery time was a huge relief. If you're facing a similar situation, I'd say go for it - the benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort.

I'll never forget November 10th, the day I underwent a myomectomy in Samara.
This is what they do in your handEverything went smoothly, and I was back on my feet in no time.
This is how I walked for a day after the surgeryThe night before the surgery, I had to undergo a colonoscopy. After 5 pm, I was only allowed to drink water, which was a bit of a challenge.
The morning of the surgery, I had another colonoscopy, and I had to fast completely. Around 11 am, they took me in, and I was given some painkillers for my hand. Then the procedure started.
It wasn't painful at all - more like a series of mild stings. There was some discomfort in my stomach, and the surgeon said, 'We're done.'
They brought me back, hooked me up to three IVs, and an hour after the surgery, they helped me to the bathroom. I had some cramps, similar to what I experience during my period, for about two days.
Now, three days after the surgery, I have some pulling, cramp-like pains in my lower abdomen, and sometimes it radiates to my leg. But it's totally manageable.
I was told not to overexert my hand for a month, which is a bit of a bummer. To be honest, I don't know what women go through with these kinds of surgeries, but this experience was surprisingly tolerable. When they were moving me around, I asked for painkillers. After the surgery, I slept a lot and drank plenty of water. Maybe everyone's experience is different, but that's my story.
