If we talk about what threat uterine fibroids, it is asymptomatic in the early stages. In most cases, the first "alarm bells" patients are ignored, and for advice they apply only in case of strong attacks unfortunately, it is not always possible to manage medication treatment and may require surgical intervention.

Classification of fibroids and course of the disease

Of course, getting an accurate diagnosis by a doctor. But the patient needs to understand the difference in the case of diagnosing her submucous and subserous fibroids. So, submucous myoma arises from the uterine submucosa and grows in the lumen of the uterus. Its main symptoms are wallowy bleeding and more abundant than normal menstruation. This type of tumor is a common cause of miscarriagepregnancy.

Subserous fibroids it grows in the pelvic lumen, therefore, changes in menstrual cycle causes rarely. But this kind of tumor has an impact on other organs, so that the main symptoms in this case are pain, disorders of urination and defecation.

Forecasts with uterine fibroids

Of course, recommendations on how to cure uterine fibroids can only give the attending physician after a thorough examination. But the forecasts can be different depending on what stage the disease is detected.

The most unfavorable prognosis when symptoms of fibroids occur after menopause. Then the typical symptoms can indicate malignant degeneration of the tumor tissue. This is also can speak and the rapid growth of education such when less than a year, the uterus becomes as the 5th week of pregnancy.

The effect of fibroids on fertility and pregnancy is controversial. A woman of reproductive age with this diagnosis may not be able to conceive as the movement of germ cells often overlap. If the pregnancy has arisen due to pathology it may end in miscarriage or premature birth. Furthermore, submucosal fibroids can occupy a significant space in the uterine cavity, thereby preventing the normal development of the embryo. If the node is in the cervix, a vaginal delivery becomes impossible as to completely overlap the birth canal.

Based on the foregoing, we can only recall the well-known truth about the necessity of regular medical examinations for all women.
