Misoprostol for fluid use in fibroid surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if giving misoprostol (a medication given as a rectal suppository) during a hysteroscopic myomectomy helps reduce the amount of fluid used during the surgery. It may lead to a safer procedure for removing small uterine fibroids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have uterine fibroids that are between 1 and 3 centimeters in size.
- You are scheduled for a hysteroscopic myomectomy (a procedure to remove fibroids through the vagina).

This trial tests whether giving a medication called misoprostol before a hysteroscopic myomectomy (a procedure to remove fibroids through the vagina) makes the surgery easier or safer. It may help relax the cervix and reduce complications.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
This study tests whether giving a medication (misoprostol) rectally during a planned C-section can help reduce blood loss after delivery. It may help women have a safer recovery with less bleeding.
This trial compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
This study compares two ways of giving a medicine called misoprostol (which helps the womb contract) to prevent heavy bleeding after a C-section. One way is a vaginal tablet before surgery; the other is a tablet under the tongue after surgery. The goal is to find which way works better and is safer.
This study compares two ways to prepare the cervix before a hysteroscopy (a camera test) in postmenopausal women. It aims to see which method makes the procedure easier and more comfortable.
