Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Noida

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas are noncancerous growths that form on the wall of the uterus, inside the main cavity or on the outer surface of the uterus. They’re the most common type of benign tumor found in women. Fibroids vary in number and size. However, in some extreme cases, fibroids grow large enough to fill the pelvis or stomach area to make a woman look pregnant.

The fibroids can cause a range of symptoms, such as pain and heavy, irregular vaginal bleeding. However, some women might not experience any symptoms at all.

When it comes to uterine fibroids treatment, the approach depends on the size and specific symptoms experienced by a woman.

Types of uterine fibroids are based on where they’re located and how they attach to the uterus.

• Intramural fibroids: These are found within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type.

• Submucosal fibroids: These fibroids grow just beneath the inner lining of the uterus.

• Subserosal fibroids: This type of fibroid forms under the outer lining of the uterus and can grow quite large, sometimes extending into the pelvic area.

• Pedunculated fibroids: The least common type, these fibroids are attached to the uterus by a stalk or stem, giving them a mushroom-like appearance with a stem and a wider top.

Symptoms

Most small fibroids don’t cause any symptoms and they don’t even require any treatment, other than a regular check-up. On the other hand, larger fibroids can bring about a variety of symptoms, such as:

• Heavy or painful menstrual bleeding.

• Bleeding between periods.

• A feeling of fullness or bloating in the lower abdomen.

• Needing to urinate more often, often because the fibroid is pressing on the bladder.

• Discomfort during sex.

• Lower back pain.

• Constipation or a sensation of pressure in the rectal area.

• Ongoing vaginal discharge.

• Trouble urinating or completely emptying the bladder.

• Noticeable swelling in the abdomen, which might make you look pregnant.
   

Causes

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not yet known, however, it has been believed that the hormones estrogen and progesterone play a significant role in development of uterine fibroids. 
That said, fibroids usually develop in women who are of reproductive age. Studies suggest that these growths tend to grow larger when hormone levels rise, like during pregnancy, and shrink when the levels drop, particularly during the shift to menopause.

When to Seek Medical Care?

You should consult a gynecologist for uterine fibroids, if you experience any of the symptoms mentioned below:

• Ongoing pelvic pain that just won’t go away.

• Menstrual cycles that are unusually heavy or painful, making it hard for you to go about your day.

• Any bleeding or spotting that happens between your periods.

• Trouble completely emptying your bladder.

• Persistent fatigue and weakness, which could be a sign of anemia due to a lower count of red blood cells. 
   

Risk Factors

There are several risk factors that can increase your likelihood of developing uterine fibroids, such as:

• Being overweight or having a high body mass index (BMI).

• Having a family history of fibroids.

• Not having given birth (nulliparity).

• Starting your period at a young age (early menstruation).

• Experiencing menopause later in life.
   

Complications

Most uterine fibroids don’t cause major problems. However, some common complications associated with uterine fibroids include:

• Intense pain that can be difficult to manage.

• Swelling in the abdomen or pelvic area.

• Heavy periods.

• Anemia.

• Rarely, infertility.
   

Diagnosis

To get a precise diagnosis, it's really important to see a gynecologist for a pelvic exam that will help evaluate the size, and shape of your uterus.

Based on your doctor’s assessment, you might also need some additional imaging tests, such as:

• Ultrasonography

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan.

• Hysteroscopy.

• Hysterosalpingography (HSG).

• Sonohysterography

• Ultrasound.

• Laparoscopy.

Medical Management

Medications

Sometimes hormonal medications may be prescribed to help shrink uterine fibroids.

Other medications that can help manage bleeding and discomfort, even though they don’t actually shrink or remove the fibroids include anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, and birth control pills.

Noninvasive or minimally invasive procedure

• MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS): It is a cutting-edge, completely noninvasive method that preserves the uterus. It's done on an outpatient basis. The uterine fibroids treatment is performed while the patient is inside an MRI scanner equipped with a high-energy ultrasound device for treatment.

• Uterine artery embolization: During the uterine fibroids treatment, embolic agents are injected into the arteries that supply the uterus with blood. The particles cut off blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.

• Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation: In this procedure, heat from radiofrequency energy destroys uterine fibroids and shrinks the blood vessels that feed them. 
  
   

Surgery

• Laparoscopic Myomectomy: During this minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon removes the fibroids and leaves the uterus in place.

• Abdominal Myomectomy: During this surgical intervention, fibroids are removed through a larger cut in the abdomen. The uterine fibroids treatment is recommended if you have more than one fibroid, very large fibroids or very deep fibroids.

• Hysterectomy: Hysterectomy is performed when all other options are exhausted. This surgery removes the uterus and is a proven permanent solution for uterine fibroids.

Prevention

Fibroids cannot be prevented, but you can certainly reduce the risk by leading a healthy lifestyle, which includes consuming a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly. 
Besides, if you suspect you have fibroids, schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for immediate treatment.
