One of the most common female gynecological problems is the appearance of neoplasms in the uterus. Uterine fibromatosis also refers to such problems - the occurrence of a benign tumor in the organ cavity. This disease most often affects women over forty years of age, that is, the age of which is gradually approaching menopause. However, in recent years, the disease has noticeably become younger - gynecologists are increasingly diagnosing fibromatosis in women twenty-five to thirty years old. Statistics stubbornly insists that almost half of women have uterine fibromatosis.
Fibromatosis is the first and most harmless step before the formation of fibromyoma, characterized by the appearance of connective tissue replacing uterine tissue. Fibroma can grow in the uterine cavity, grow in its walls and go outside. With fibromatosis, as a rule, nodes in the body of the uterus do not appear, although it increases in size.
Quite often, uterine fibromatosis is an independent ailment, and sometimes it can be triggered by some disease and degenerate into a tumor. A major role among the causes of fibromatosis is played by the hereditary factor, hormonal disorders, malfunctioning of the ovaries, overweight, previous abortions, smoking and alcohol, stress.
Most women do not feel any symptoms, so the diagnosis of uterine fibromatosis is a kind of shock at their doctor’s appointment. The disease is usually detected either during preventive examinations, or when complaining of certain symptoms, when the disease has already begun to progress. Among these symptoms, women note back pain, soreness of menstruation and their duration, possibly an increase in discharge during menstruation (which in turn can lead to anemia), miscarriage or prolonged inability to conceive a baby.
If these symptoms appear, a woman should consult a consultation to clarify the diagnosis. In order to diagnose uterine fibromatosis, it is necessary to undergo a general gynecological examination, ultrasound of the female genital organs, examination of the uterine cavity using a special device, and take a blood test for hormones.
If uterine fibromatosis does not cause a woman negative feelings, then subject to periodic examination by a gynecologist, the disease can not be treated. The patient is prescribed vitamins, fortifying drugs, it is forbidden to stay in the high temperature zone (you can not sunbathe for a long time, visit the bathhouse and sauna). Often after a decrease in estrogen levels during menopause, fibroma stops its growth.
With the progression of the disease, hormonal treatment is indicated, which will primarily inhibit the growth of connective tissue cells. If the fibroma has reached considerable size and threatens the life of a woman, then it is removed surgically.
Uterine fibromatosis, whose treatment with folk remedies is not possible, is often the subject of speculation among folk healers and healers. Many women, not wanting to take hormonal drugs or are simply afraid of surgery, try to cure fibromatosis in this way. Unfortunately, the effect of traditional medicine is aimed only at eliminating the symptoms of fibromatosis, but not at all to cure the very cause of the disease. At a time when patients are hoping for a recovery, the problem may worsen, giving no chance of conservative treatment. Reaching for the operation, you can lose the uterus (with a large fibroma), which in no way reacts to herbs, decoctions and infusions. For high-quality treatment of fibroma and proper diagnosis of the disease, it is necessary to be observed only by specialist doctors and clearly follow their recommendations. Uterine fibromatosis, the treatment of which is started on time, largely reduces the risk of further complications.
