Fibroids - A benign tumor of mature connective tissue, which occurs in the uterus in women aged 30-40 years. Fibroid tumors can occur in other organs with smooth muscle walls. These are called fibroid tumors, fibroid tissue formed since. Fibroma may constitute a single seal, and nodal congestion, it grows slowly and symptoms. Only 25% fibroid tumors manifest symptomatically, and therefore in need of treatment. The size of fibroids can vary - from microscopic to very large (eg, grape), in rare cases, fibroids cover the entire interior of the abdominal cavity. Fibroma of the uterus - the most common gynecological tumor in women.
Fibroma of the uterus
Uterine fibroids - a benign tumor consisting mainly of connective tissue fibers formed on the walls of the uterus. In the medical literature of uterine fibroids also called leiomyomas of the uterus. Fibroma of the uterus - the most common pelvic tumor. As already mentioned, the size of fibroids can vary (from 1 mm to 20 cm in diameter).
fibroid tumors can grow in the uterus itself as well as on its outer shell. Fibroma of the uterus occurs in 20% of women of childbearing age and 40% of women older than 30 years. Fibroid tumor does not occur in young girls before the start of the menstrual cycle, as well as post-menopausal women. By the way, the likelihood of fibroid tumors in the representatives of blacks is higher than that of Caucasian women.
exact cause of fibroids has not been established, but physicians have noticed that this tumor is associated with menstruation, as it does not occur until the establishment of the menstrual cycle. The growth of fibroid tumors is accelerated during pregnancy when a woman's body increases production of estrogen.
growth of fibroid tumors also contributes to pills containing estrogen to prevent pregnancy or menopause treatments. In the climacteric age the risk of fibroids is negligible, since the menopause estrogen levels are naturally reduced, which prevents the growth of fibroid tumors, so that even the existing tumor may gradually diminish and disappear.
Types of fibroid tumors
Submucous fibroids: uterine shell grows inside its cavity, most likely to cause severe bleeding. Growth and movement of submucosal fibroids cause pain and cramping.
Podseroznaya fibroma: is formed on the outer shell of the uterus, sometimes growing up, even on other small fibroids. Podseroznye fibroids did not manifest themselves until they begin to grow and interfere with normal functioning of other organs.
Interstitial fibroids: the most common type of fibroids formed in the walls of the uterus. Interstetsialnye fibroids grow, thus causing an increase in the uterus.
Mezhsvyazochnaya fibroma: increases in the direction of the localization between the ligaments supporting the uterus in the abdominal cavity. This fibroid tumors are difficult to remove without damaging other organs or blood vessels.
stalked fibroma: occurs when a tumor appears podseroznoy leg. The growth of pedunculated fibroids twist and cause severe pain.
Parasitic fibroids: the most common type fibroma rarely occurs when a fibroid tumor attached to any other body.
Symptoms of fibroid tumors
* Excessive or abnormal bleeding
* The strongest pain during menstruation
* Abdominal cramping and abdominal pain during menstruation
* Sensation of pressure or weight in the abdomen
* Due to pressure on bladder frequent urge to urinate
* Feeling fullness or bloating
* Soreness during intimacy.
* Heavy menstrual bleeding and / or release of bloody clots
* Sudden or severe pain, indicating the presence of columnar fibroids
* Frequent urination or pain when urinating
* If a fibroid tumor grows in the direction of the back, there are strong pain and constipation.
Treatment of fibroid tumors of the uterus
Treatment of fibroids is prescribed depending on the size and intensity of tumor growth.
* Women who suffer from severe cramps and pain associated with menstruation, taking prescribed painkillers.
* To slow the growth of tumors and decrease menstrual bleeding is prescribed method of contraception.
* Women suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding, prescribed iron supplements to prevent anemia.
* In rare cases, prescribe hormone therapy, lowering levels of estrogen in the body. However, hormone therapy has some side effects such as reduced bone density, which can lead to osteoporosis, vaginal dryness and hot flashes.
* To remove the fibroid tumors in the uterus used Hysteroscopic resection. In the uterus through the cervix injected microchamber and surgical instruments to help and remove the tumor.
* Hysterectomy - a radical way to treat fibroids miracle, because in the process of this surgery, the uterus is removed completely. In the U.S., two-thirds of the total number of these operations is performed to remove fibroid tumors of the uterus.
* Embolization (occlusion of the vessel) stops the flow of blood to the fibroid tumors, which prevents its further growth.
* Myomectomy - fibroid tumor removal procedure without removal of the uterus. Myomectomy is recommended for women who are going to conceive and give birth to a child after the removal of fibroids.
