What are uterinefibroids?
Uterine fibroids arebenign and non-cancerous tumors that grow in the wall of the uterusduring the time when a woman is fertile, or when she is more likelyto have a child. They are not likely to develop into full-growncancerous cells, but in some rare cases, they do. This cancerousversion of uterine fibroids is called leiomyosarcoma. Uterinefibroids are also called myoma, fibroleiomyoma, fibromyoma, oruterine leiomyoma.
Uterine fibroidsoriginated from a single cell in the smooth muscular tissue locatedin the uterus, called myometerium. This single cell reproduces bydividing itself over and over again to create an elevated anddistinct tissue that is firm and rubbery in texture. The size,growth patterns, and appearance vary on case to case basis. Somewomen might find that their fibroids grow more rapidly than mostpeople, while some grow very slowly that they remain at almost thesame size even after years. Some fibroids undergo extreme growthspurts while some shrink automatically through the years. There arealso fibroids that as the woman gets pregnant will tend to increasein size. After pregnancy, the fibroids shrink and the uterus goesback to its original appearance. In terms of size, there are someextremely small ones that are invisible to the human eye, needinghigh-powered microscopes just to detect them. However, there aresome extreme cases when the fibroids become so big that theyenlarge the uterus into twice or thrice its normal size that it hasalready become deformed and unrecognizable.
Uterine fibroids usuallydevelop among women above the age of 30. As compared to Caucasian,Asian, and Hispanic women, African women tend to develop this moreoften and experience more severe symptoms. In the United States, 3out of 4 women will experience this at some point in their lives,but they are left unaware mild cases of fibroids will often have nosymptoms. This is why early diagnosis is quite uncommon. Thepatient usually discovers the existence of the fibroidsaccidentally during diagnosis for other diseases (with similarsymptoms as fibroids) or during an ultrasound or pelvicexam.
Symptoms
Mild cases of fibroidsoften have no symptoms; however, moderate to severe ones mighthave. These are the most commonly felt symptoms:
Unusually prolonged and verypainful bleeding during menstruation (extreme cases could result toanemia)
Significant weight gain
Pelvic pain especially duringsex
back pain
Feeling of fullness of theabdomen.
Difficulty in urinating oremptying the bladder and in moving the bowel
One rare symptom of thisdisease is experiencing difficulty with getting pregnant, or havingdifficulties with pregnancy itself (premature labor, miscarriage,or placental abruption.)
Causes and RiskFactors
What causes the growth offibroids? What makes them shrink in size? What makes them grow?What are the factors that affect their growth? Until now, thesequestions belong under the category of great scientific mysteriesthat doctors have pondered upon. However, based on clinicalexperience and several researches on different patients withfibroids, they came up with these factors: hormones, geneticchanges, and other growth factors.
They theorized that peoplewith fibroids have different genes compare to those people withnormal uterine cells. In fact, they figured out that identicaltwins have more chances of getting fibroids than ordinary siblings.This evidence suggests that the fibroid gene tends to get passedon from generation to generation. If you have a mother, sister, ora grandmother who has or have had fibroids, it is highly likelythat you will, too.
They also hypothesizedthat the two hormones, progesterone and estrogen, seem to promotethe development of fibroids. These two hormones are responsible forthe growth of the lining in the uterus during menstruation inpreparation for pregnancy. During pregnancy, when estrogen andprogesterone production are in overdrive, the occurrence of uterinefibroids tend to increase. Similarly, the occurrence also tends toshrink during menopause. Furthermore, as compared to normal uterinecells, fibroids contain more hormone receptors.
Other factors such asobesity, high blood pressure, lack of vegetables in ones diet, andtoo much alcohol and red meat intake might also increase yourtendency to develop fibroids.
Diagnosis
Because most women do notexperience the direct symptoms of fibroids, they are usuallysurprised to find out of their existence. Most of the time, theyare detected from a pelvic exam or ultrasound (for pregnant women).If your doctor detected some kind of irregularity, he willinterview you on the fibroid-related symptoms you might have beenexperiencing. Your doctor will then tell you to consider takingimaging tests to properly diagnose the possible existence of benigntumors. These diagnostic tests are the following:
Ultrasound Ultrasound utilizessound waves to serve as a scanning device, called a transducer.These sound waves bounce from the uterus, which then forms apicture of the appearance and size of the fibroids. The doctor mayeither move the machine over your abdomen or put it inside thevagina (called as transvaginal ultrasound). On the other hand,laboratory test for fibroids typically include CBC or completeblood count. The purpose of this laboratory test is to rule out thepossibility that your symptoms are simply a result of otherdiseases with similar symptoms.
MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that utilizes radiowaves, magnetism, and the screen of a computer to project thepictures of body structures under examination. It is alsorelatively safer because it doesnt use radiation as compared to anx-ray. This will help identify what type of tumor there is in orderto discuss possible treatment options with the patient.
Other more advancedimaging tests that the doctor might request are thefollowing:
Hysterosalpingography
Hysterosonography
Hysteroscopy
Treatment andMedications
Patients have severaltreatment options in dealing with fibroids. Medications, no matterhow advanced they are, dont eliminate fibroids fully but have thepotential to shrink them. They also help in alleviating thesymptoms and make them bearable for the patient. The existence offibroids will not be a hindrance to a womans fertility as long asher oncologist is carefully monitoring her condition.
