Uterine Fibroids
What are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear in women between the ages of 20-40’s. Uterine fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus (myometrium). A single cell divides repeatedly, eventually creating a firm, rubbery mass distinct from nearby tissue. The growth patterns of uterine fibroids vary — they may grow slowly or rapidly, or they may remain the same size. Some fibroids go through growth spurts, and some may shrink on their own. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye,
What are the symptoms of Fibroids?
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Prolonged menstrual periods — seven days or more of menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty emptying your bladder
- Constipation
Backache or leg pains
What complications can occur with fibroids?
- Fibroids that are attached to the uterus by a stem may twist and can cause pain, nausea, or fever.
- Fibroids that grow rapidly, or those that start breaking down, also may cause pain. Rarely, they can be associated with cancer.
- A very large fibroid may cause swelling of the abdomen. This swelling can make it hard to do a thorough pelvic exam.
- Fibroids also may cause infertility, although other causes are more common. Other factors should be explored before fibroids are considered the cause of a couple’s infertility. When fibroids are thought to be a cause, many women are able to become pregnant after they are treated.
