Fibroids are growth of tissue that are ussually found in the wall of the uretus, or womb. They are made of a mixture odf muscle tissue from the uterus and threadlike fibers odf connective tissue. Although they are called tummours, fibroids are not cancerous.
Fibroids are very common. They occur in 2 or 3 out of every 10 women over the age 35. Theu occur most often in women between ages 30 an 50, although women in their 20s sometimes have them.
It is common to have more than one fibroids. some women may have as many as a hundred. Fibroids can be as small as a pinpoint or as large as a basketball. They are usually round or oval in shape, like a ball or egg. Their texture is firm, like an unripe peach.
Fibroids can grow in different parts of the uretus. They are named according to which part of the uretus they are found.
INTRAMURAL FIBROIDS: These are Fibroids that grow inside the wall of the uretus
SUBSEROUS OR SUBSEROSAL FIBROIDS: These are Fibroids that grow outward from the wall of the uretus into the abdominal cavity.
PEDUNCULATED FIBRIODS: These are Fibroids that grow inward from the Uterine wall, talking up space within the cavity of the uretus.
CAUSES OF FIBROIDS:
A fibroids start as a single musvle cell in the uretus. For reason that are not known, this cell changes into a fibroids tumor cell and starts to grow and multiply. Heredity may be a factor. It is thought that a muscle cell in the uretus may be programmed from birth to develop into a fibroid sometime-perhaps many years-after puberty (the start of menstrual periods).
After puberty, the ovaries produces more hormones, especially estrogen. Higher levels of these hormones may help fibroids to grow, although exactly how this might happen is not understood.
SYMPTOMS OF FIBROIDS
For many women, fibroids ccause no prblems. More than half of women with fibroids do not know they have them until their doctors tell them so.
The most common problems caused by fibroids are:
LONG MENSTTRUAL PERIOD: Periods that may last more than seven days and mentrual flow may be very heavy. Heavy menstrual flow can sometimes lead to anemia.
PRESSURE ON OTHER ORGANS: Large Fibroids may press on organs in the pelvis – a basin-shaped cavity in the lower abdomen, containing the bladder, bowel and reproductive organs.
- If fibroids press on the bladder; a woman may feel the urge to urinate frquently, She may pass only small amounts of urine and she may feel as though she has not completely emptied her bladder.
- If fibroids press on the bowel, she may feel constipated suffering from difficult, painful, or infrequent movement of the bowels, or full after eating a small amount of food.
- If fibroids press on one or both ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder), they may partially block the flow of urine. A woman may not be aware of thi, because it often isn’t painful. Over time, however, this kind of blockage can lead to kidney infections or other serious kidney damage.
PAIN IN TH PELVIS: The pressure of large fibroids on oher organs may cause pain in the pelvis. Sometimes, it fibroids do not get the blood flow they need to sustain themselves, they degenerate or die. This may cause severe pain lasting for days or weeks. Pain may also occur if the stalk of a fibroids twists, cutting off blood supply to the fibroids. Rarely, a fibroid may become infected and cause pain.
TREATMENTS:
The treatment offered for fibroids will depend on whether or not the fibroids are causing any problems.
DIET:Diet is one of the most preferable treatment for any disease, because it is what will eat everyday. Eating good diet can also prevent any diseases and can also cure diseases.
DRUGS/SURGERY: To use drug or surgery treatment does nothing to get rid of the causes, but only cures the symptoms. It means that fibroids can regrow after a short period and as well come with side effects like vaginal dryness, irregular vaginal bleeding, headaches, thinning of the hair, pain, pain in the bones, joints, and muscles, sleep problems, mood changes, loss of sex drive. is the standard treatment for fibroids that are causing pain, heavy or lengthy menstrual bleeding, or other problems. The two kinds of surgery most commonly performed are hysterectomy and myomectomy.
All these two are very important but the most affordable one and the most reliable one is Dieting, eating the necessary food that contains the right nutrient will prevent the body from disease and will also boost the imune system.
