Fibroids originate from tiny seedlings, but can grow so large that they alter the shape of your uterus.
\nSome women only develop one fibroid, while others have multiple fibroids. They can present numerous symptoms, or can be completely asymptomatic. In fact, many women have no idea they have uterine fibroids until they are discovered during a pelvic exam or ultrasound.<\/p>\nWhat are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?<\/strong>
\nSymptoms of uterine fibroids, when they are present, include:<\/p>\n\n- Long or heavy menstrual periods<\/li>\n
- Constipation<\/li>\n
- Sensation of pelvic pressure<\/li>\n
- Pelvic pain<\/li>\n
- Frequent urination or difficulty emptying your bladder<\/li>\n
- Leg pain or a backache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you notice these symptoms, it\u2019s important to schedule a diagnostic exam. Symptoms of uterine fibroids may indicate serious gynecologic issues and should always be evaluated by a women\u2019s health specialist.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What causes uterine fibroids?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, but researchers have identified several risk factors. You may have an elevated risk of developing fibroids if you have a family history of the condition, or if you have an imbalance of estrogen or progesterone.<\/p>\nAfrican-American women are more likely to experience fibroids than other ethnicities, and women who began menstruating early are also at an elevated risk. There are also known connections between fibroids and birth control use, obesity, poor diet, and vitamin D deficiency.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the treatment options for uterine fibroids?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>If your fibroids aren\u2019t causing any discomfort or symptoms, your doctor may recommend \u201cwatchful waiting\u201d as a treatment approach. That\u2019s especially true if you are nearing menopause, when a reduction in estrogen often shrinks fibroids.<\/p>\nIf your fibroids are painful, medications can help regulate your menstrual cycle by balancing your hormones. Options include GnRH agonists that block estrogen and progesterone production, tranexamic acid to ease heavy menstrual periods, or a progestin-releasing IUD.<\/p>\n
Uterine artery embolization is one option to shrink fibroids, and works by injecting tiny particles into your arteries that carry blood to your uterus. When fibroids experience reduced blood supply, they usually shrink.<\/p>\n
Minimally invasive surgical treatments can also destroy fibroids without damaging healthy tissue. One approach uses a laparoscope to access your uterus and remove fibroids. Fibroids can also be removed hysteroscopically depending on the location.<\/p>\n
