Cervical fibroids develop as a result of traumatic childbirth, medical abortion or hormonal imbalances. This serious pathology darkens the lives of millions of women. Fortunately, specialists at the Other Gynecology clinic know how to help patients with myomatous nodes in the uterus. Go to website and find out what methods of treating uterine fibroids we use.
Tumor location
The location of fibroids is determined relative to the axis of the uterus and can be of the following types:
- Cervical. It is characterized by the growth of a tumor in the cervical canal in the vaginal part and is extremely rare. The condition is accompanied by a number of symptoms: pain during menstruation, inability to conceive a child, problems with going to the toilet.
- Location in the cervix. Typically, women suffer from problems with urination and fibroids are diagnosed when visiting a urologist.
- Corporate. Tumors grow inside the tissues of the cervical canal closer to the uterus. The patient suffers from severe pain radiating to the lower back, menstrual irregularities and the inability to bear a child.
Infertility occurs as a result of severe deformation of the uterus due to which the egg cannot attach to the endometrium.
Drug treatment
Diagnosing uterine fibroids is very simple. Ultrasound and gynecological examination immediately detect uterine fibroids. If it is small in size and does not cause discomfort to the woman, then the doctor prescribes hormonal therapy. Birth control medications help prevent tumor growth and keep it under control.
Medications are not a method of treatment. In some cases, they stop the growth of a large tumor or reduce its size. This therapy is often used before the main operation.
Surgical intervention
The operation is performed for women who want to get pregnant but cannot due to the large size of the fibroids. Often it is the neoplasm that causes infertility. Thanks to its removal, the functions of the uterus are completely restored and unpleasant symptoms disappear in a short time. If infertility is caused not only by fibroids, but also by other gynecological pathologies, then several operations should be performed to remove all causes.
Laparotomy is sometimes used. It allows you to gain access to all pelvic organs and remove several tumors at once. The operation is effective for large tumors, severe deformation of the uterus and severe disease. During intervention, a woman may experience the following consequences:
- postoperative bleeding;
- pain at the incision site;
- long-term healing of internal injuries;
- inflammatory process in the wound.
Abdominal surgery with removal of the uterus, cervix and ovaries is indicated for women in menopause who will not be able to have children. It effectively protects against cancerous degeneration. For young patients, safe laparoscopy is used.
