Treatment of uterine myoma (fibroids, leiomyomas) in Sumy

Uterine myoma (leiomyoma, fibroids) is a benign tumor of the uterus diagnosed both in middle-aged women and in girls who have not yet had children. Depending on the number of piles, myoma can be single and multiple. The main causes of uterine myoma are the following:

• genetic predisposition;
• late onset of menstruation;
• low level of hemoglobin in the blood;
• constant hormonal disruptions;
• depression or severe stress;
• history of childbirth or abortion;
• active manifestation of chronic diseases of the reproductive organs;
• menstrual disorders due to hypothermia of the body.

There may be other causes of uterine fibroids, which can only be established by gynecologist after examination and receiving test results. The appearance of common, nodular uterine myoma is also facilitated by frequent abortions performed at the age of 20-40, irregular sex life, breaches of intimate hygiene.

Depending on the localization of myoma piles, there are such types of myoma: subserous, intramural, interstitial (intermuscular) and submucosal uterine myoma. Only a gynecologist can correctly determine the type of myoma and prescribe treatment. You can get diagnostics of uterine myoma in Sumy at “On Clinic Sumy”.

Symptoms of uterine myoma

Symptoms of uterine myoma are not easy to identify. Since fibroids can be hidden, women often mistake the tumor for a general malaise. The first signs of uterine myoma are the following:

• pain in the lumbar region, lower abdomen;
• appearance of bleeding before or after the end of menstruation;
• decrease in the level of hemoglobin;
• increase in the abundance and duration of the menstrual cycle;
• general weakness, constant fatigue; pallor.

Symptoms may differ depending on the type of myoma. The first signs of subserous uterine myoma are: abdominal pain, discomfort during intercourse, frequent urination, problematic bowel movements, miscarriage.

Complications of uterine myoma

Complications of uterine myoma depend on the number, location of myoma piles and the woman's age. Women can face the following complications:

• increased risk of miscarriage;
• infertility;
• premature placental abruption.

Uterine myoma during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, premature birth due to hormonal imbalance. Therefore, you should be examined by a gynecologist during pregnancy. If you need to undergo diagnostics or treatment of uterine fibroids in Sumy, you can do it at “On Clinic Sumy”.

Other complications may occur in middle-aged women. Uterine myoma can lead to necrosis of fibroids, bleeding, constipation, urinary incontinence, discomfort due to compression of other organs.

One of the consequences of myoma can be the uterus removal. This will lead to a complete loss of the woman's reproductive function. 

Diagnostics of uterine myoma

Regular diagnostics of uterine leiomyoma allows timely detection of the disease, determination of the myoma degree of development and its localization. Diagnostics is carried out in two stages:

1. Manual examination (bimanual examination).
2. Ultrasound examination. For ultrasonography of uterine myoma, we use high-frequency equipment which makes it possible to identify the disease at the initial stage.

If myoma is found, the meals should be changed. The diet for uterine myoma should include cereals and wheat bran to lower cholesterol levels, watermelons, apricots, tomatoes to saturate the body with lycopene. Doctors also recommend adding fruits and vegetables containing beta-carotene (spinach, pumpkin, carrots) to the diet, as well as foods rich in fiber.
