And so, for a reason that is still not precisely defined by physicians, one muscle cell suddenly begins to divide, and "multiply" tumor muscle cells, which gradually form a knot.
Types of fibroids are distinguished by their arrangement.
Interstitial uterine fibroids - located in the middle muscular layer of the uterus.
Subserous - under the surface layer of the uterus and grows toward the abdomen.
Submucosal (submucosa) - under the inner mucosal layer of the uterus and grows into the lumen of the uterus.
Intraligamentarnaya (mezhsvyazochnaya) - between the broad ligament.
Cervical uterine cancer - in the muscle layer of the cervix.
Fibroids grow and thus affect the size of the uterus - is increased as in pregnancy, and the value is determined as a node in weeks as pregnancy.
As previously mentioned, the exact causes of fibroids had still not been established. However, there are several factors that may lead to its emergence. Namely, hormonal background and normal production of sex hormones due to diseases of the ovaries; prolonged fatigue and stress; chronic infectious diseases, including pyelonephritis and tonsillitis; diseases of the endocrine system; obesity; heredity, abortion, inflammatory diseases of female genitalia; long-term use of oral contraceptives.
How to determine uterine fibroids alone
Of course, the most accurate "diagnostician" to identify fibroids can only ultrasound and delivery of specific analyzes. But there are symptoms that can almost pinpoint the occurrence of fibroids.
If you notice that menstruation became much more abundant and longer, and this trend continues for a long time - this may indicate a myoma. The emergence of uterine bleeding in the middle of the menstrual cycle can be a symptom of fibroids. Fibroids may indicate unpleasant, nagging pains in the abdomen, which "echoes" are given in the lower back or legs, and during menstruation passing in abrupt and sharp.
Frequent urination, constipation, flushing, fever, headaches, and pain in the heart can be, if not the main, the accompanying symptoms of fibroids.
Unpleasant disease that can result from fibroids and uterine bleeding - anemia. Due to the prolonged and heavy bleeding amount of hemoglobin and red blood cells is significantly reduced. Anemia of uterine fibroids signals themselves constant headaches, dizziness, paleness, weakness.
When detected at these symptoms, especially in conjunction with uterine bleeding, consult a physician immediately and pass inspection. Fibroids rarely develops from benign to malignant, but nevertheless, such cases happen.
