We often hear about Fibroids, which are generally associated with the child bearing woman, which is often non cancerous. These grow over the uterus of a woman and as per reports more than 70 percent of women are seen having fibroids when they reach to the age of 50. Well, at this children’s day, it would be interesting to explore whether children (girls) too can have fibroids. Well, the answer is simple, as said above; these are only associated with woman who reaches to the childbearing stage, hence the children who have reached to the puberty and now getting menopause can only get the fibroids. Thus kids who do not reach to this stage will never have fibroids. In fact, it is rare to see the fibroids among woman below the age group of 20 years.

Where are fibroids grown?

The fibroids are seen getting developed in cells of smooth muscle tissue, which is often found over the superficial portion of the uterus. Though the exact reason for their growth is unknown yet doctors make certain hormones and certain chemical present in the body responsible for their growth. These can grow in different shapes and sizes over the walls of your womb, while they do not spread to the over portion of your body. These are generally found over the uterus; however, different types of the fibroids are seen growing at different places, which are as under:

  • Intramural fibroids are known to develop within the muscular wall over the woman’s womb; which are among the common ones.
  • The Submucosal fibroids are seen growing over the inner wall of a woman’s womb inside the space found inside the uterus.
  • The Subserosal fibroids are seen growing from the outside wall of the uterus over your pelvic cavity. This is often is big in size.

 

Symptoms of Fibroids

These usually do not give any kind of symptoms, however, some of the symptoms are listed as under:

  • The periods are prolonged up to seven days
  • Experience pain in your pelvic area

  • Increased frequency of urine, which can occur if a fibroid, is seen pressing on your bladder.
  • Experience constipation when fibroid is pressing over the rectum

Besides, you can experience severe kind of pain if the fibroid is growing over the talk twists or in case the fibroid is seen outgrowing and causing trouble to the blood supply then the woman can find issues like break down, which is a rare symptom.

 

Fibroid Treatment

There are different ways of treating Fibroid, which include medication and surgery, let’s start with the former.

  • Medicines: Though there is no medicine, which can cure fibroids, however, the hormone based treatment options like the oral contraceptive pills can help in controlling some of the symptoms due to the presence of fibroids. As per some previous reports, the fibroids are seen growing at times due to the response of these pills, which you have consumed due to their high dose content of the medicines. You can find several medicines that can reduce the oestrogen level in your body, but they can give certain side effects. The non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs can be effective in relieving the pain associated with fibroids.
  • Surgery: When it comes to surgery, you have two options including Myomectomy and UAE (Uterine artery embolisation (UAE). In the former, the fibroids are removed from the uterus, which can be done using with making incisions over the stomach area. With this option, the woman has the option of getting pregnant again, which may not be the issue with the latter. In the process of UAE, the surgeon blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, which make it shrink. This procedure is carried out with local anaesthesia. It helps in finding relief from several symptoms, including pain and bleeding. It is only recommended for women who have no issue with infertility.
