Uterine fibroid (myoma) is a benign tumor from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. In some women uterine fibroids don’t cause any symptoms. Other women experience painful periods with big amount of blood, pain in the lower back and occasional pain during the sexual intercourse. Signs of uterine fibroids can also appear after the miscarriage. Fibroids in the uterus arise only at the reproductive age, so after the menopause a woman will never have this disease.
Uterine fibroid is a very widespread condition. In fact, about 75-85% of women have it before they turn 55. In most cases cause of the disorder remains unclear, as uterine fibroid can develop in women with perfectly healthy lifestyle. Genetic predisposition and obesity play certain role. Among other causes we should mention pregnancy, because during this time woman experiences constant hormonal changes.
Diagnosis of uterine myoma starts with the palpation of uterus. After this gynecologist uses ultrasound examination to define the size of uterine myoma. If the uterine myoma is diagnosed after the menopause, it should be differentiated from sarcoma. If uterine myoma is too big, the doctor can use MRI as a diagnosis method.
Sometimes fibroids can cause complications, such as anemia and deficiency of iron. Blood test helps to reveal such conditions.
