Nodal uterine myoma is a benign tumor formed in the muscular tissue of the organ.
The nodular form of uterine fibroids from muscle and connective fibers develops and is a rounded dense knot, the sizes of which are calculated by physicians in weeks( as in the development of the fetus in a pregnant woman).
What threatens this disease and how can you determine its presence?
Note that over time, the nodal fibroids can turn into a malignant tumor. For this reason, the disease requires timely detection and proper diagnosis.
There is also a multiple nodular uterine myoma. As the name implies, the disease is characterized not by one, but by several nodules. Their removal is a real problem.
Causes of nodal uterine fibroids
The main cause of the disease is a hormonal failure, triggered by:
- by an improper diet;
- frequent change of sexual partners;
- stress;
- with sexual abstinence;
- with gynecological diseases and complications.
A prominent role in the formation of nodes is played by genetics, therefore, women whose relatives have been affected by myoma, are recommended frequent examinations at the gynecologist.
Symptoms of nodal fibroids of the uterus
Symptoms are:
- , a sharp increase in temperature with ruptures or twisting of fibroids;
- infertility;
- sudden drowsiness and weakness;
- impairment of bowel and bladder function;
- back pain;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- spotting;
- profuse bleeding.
Treatment of nodal uterine fibroids
At the initial stages of development, this disease can be treated with hormonal drugs. With the restoration of the hormonal balance, the uterine myoma of the uterus can also disappear.
In case of continued growth of myoma, mandatory surgical treatment is prescribed.
In case of surgery, uterine fibroids may be removed with or without the uterus. Patients with childbearing function can count on the preservation of their reproductive organs.
However, despite the results of treatment, there is a growing risk of hormonal abnormalities, coronary heart disease, breast cancer and other such diseases.
In general, you need to pay special attention to your own health and undergo examinations with gynecologists, mammologists and others.
