Fibroid or Uterine Myomas

Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous.

The cause of fibroids is unknown.

Fibroids are also known by the following names:

leiomyomas

myomas

uterine myomas

fibromas

They can range in size from very tiny to larger than a cantaloupe (melon). Occasionally, they can cause the uterus to grow to the size of a five-month pregnancy. In most cases, there is more than one fibroid in the uterus. While fibroid do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to problems for some women, including pain and heavy bleeding.

Prevalence of Uterine Fibroid

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 80 percent women have them by the age of 50. However, most women don’t have any symptoms and may never know they have fibroids. Indian women are at a higher risk for fibroid: as many as 50 percent have fibroid of a significant size. Uterine fibroid are the most frequent indication for hysterectomy in premenopausal women and, therefore, are a major public health issue.

Types of Fibroid:-

The type of fibroid a woman develops depends on its location in or on the uterus.

1.Intramural fibroids

Intramural fibroids are the most common type of fibroid. These types appear within the muscular wall of the uterus. Intramural fibroids may grow larger and can stretch your womb.

2.Subserosal fibroids

Subserosal fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may grow large enough to make your womb appear bigger on one side.

3.Pedunculated fibroids

Subserosal tumors can develop a stem, a slender base that supports the tumor. When they do, they’re known as pedunculated fibroids.

4.Submucosal fibroids

These types of tumors develop in the middle muscle layer, or myometrium, of your uterus. Submucosal tumors aren’t as common as the other types.

Uterine Fibroid Symptoms

Most fibroids don`t cause symptoms. Depending on size, location and number of fibroids, they may cause:

- Heavy, prolonged menstrual periods and unusual monthly bleeding, sometimes with clots. This can lead to anemia.

- Pelvic pain and pressure.

- Pain in the back and legs.

- Pain during relationship.

- Bladder pressure leading to a frequent urge.

- Pressure on the bowel, leading to constipation and bloating.

- Abnormally enlarged abdomen.
