Myoma of the uterus with menopause

Myoma is known as a benign tumor that develops from the muscular tissue of the uterus. The reasons for its occurrence by doctors have not yet been established. According to statistics, most often the disease is diagnosed in nulliparous women after 30 years. If a benign tumor does not bother a woman, then doctors do not rush to remove it, but only observe and treat medication. In women of childbearing age, the myoma can increase in size, cause pain and heavy bleeding. Recent genetic studies have shown that this disease of the uterus does not translate into cancer .

Symptoms of the disease during menopause

Myoma of the uterus, including with menopause, often occurs asymptomatically. However, in some cases, a woman may be harassed. But, even having found out one or several symptoms, it is not necessary to diagnose the disease on your own. For this, there are annual medical examinations and ultrasound diagnostics, from which a benign tumor can not disappear.

Sometimes myoma of the uterus during menopause manifests itself as follows:

• prolonged pains in the lower abdomen;
• pain during sexual intercourse;
• increase in the waist;
• pressure in the lower abdomen;
• frequent urge to urinate;
• constipation;
• pain in the legs and back.

A greater likelihood of increased development of uterine fibroids after menopause in women with obesity and with frequent inflammation of the pelvic organs. Also affects the level of hormones. The statistics show that the hereditary factor and the risk of developing the disease during menopause are higher in those women whose relatives already suffered from this pathology.

Treatment of uterine fibroids with menopause

It is established that the symptoms of this disease during menopause often become even less noticeable. There is information about cases when the uterine myoma during the menopause "resolved". However, it is not easy to find documentary evidence. There have also been cases when the uterus tumor with the onset of menopause increased in size and led to a deterioration in health. The individuality of the structure of the woman's body does not provide an opportunity for menopause to prescribe general treatment for uterine fibroids. Also, there are no universal methods of treatment, even the operation is not assigned in 100% of cases.

Thus, the conclusion about what to do when a woman has a benign tumor of the uterus , suggests itself - to rely on doctors and only with their help to make a decision about treatment or surgery.
