Often, the concepts of fibroma, myoma and fibromyoma resonate with each other, and the majority are simply synonymous with a benign uterine tumor. However, these are completely different in their composition of education. So, for example, myoma consists of muscle tissue, fibroma - of connective fibers, respectively, fibromyoma combines the muscle and connective cells. Let's take a closer look at the topic of treatment of uterine fibroids.
The danger of the disease seems to be a possible degeneration of fibroids into a malignant tumor, besides, many women have a lot of problems symptomatology of the manifestation of the tumor.
How to treat fibroids of the uterus?
Based on the above listed possible consequences, it is quite logical to ask how to cure fibroids of the uterus. Treatment of uterine fibroids is divided into two methods: medicamentous and surgical.
- Medication method. As a rule, contraceptive and other hormonal drugs are used. Also, the course of treatment may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As a defect, the general weakness is manifested against the background of taking hormones and breaking the cycle. Unfortunately, in the process of treating fibroids, it is rarely possible to dispense with only medications.
- Surgical methods. The operation to remove uterine fibroids is not always required. The main indications for removal are:
- large tumor size;
- surgery to remove uterine fibroids is performed with intensive growth of the tumor;
- functional disorders in other organs;
- heavy bleeding followed by anemia;
- necrosis of fibroid nodes.
Removal of uterine fibroid is carried out by several possible methods, at the discretion of a specialist. The nature of the operation to remove uterine fibroids depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.
Most often, myomectomy operations are performed laparoscopically, while maintaining reproductive function.
Also recently widely used is myomectomy with the use of a hysteroscope, with the help of which the fibroma is excised by a laser.
Conservative methods include embolization of uterine arteries - an operation to clog vessels that feed the fibroids.
No matter how the fibroma is removed with the uterus preserved, this does not guarantee that it will not appear again.
