Understanding Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids can cause a host of issues for women. They are painful and difficult to live with. If you are experiencing strange or new symptoms in relation to your menstrual cycle, you might have uterine fibroids. Luckily, there are treatment methods available for you. Keep reading to learn more about uterine fibroids, signs you might have them, and how a Uterine Fibroid Clinical Trial can help you.

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Not all women with fibroids have symptoms. Women who do have symptoms often find fibroids hard to live with. Some have pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Treatment for uterine fibroids depends on your symptoms.

Symptoms include:

• Heavy bleeding (which can be heavy enough to cause anemia) or painful periods
• Feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower stomach area)
• Enlargement of the lower abdomen
• Frequent urination
• Pain during sex
• Lower back pain
• Complications during pregnancy and labor, including a six-time greater risk of cesarean section
• Reproductive problems, such as infertility, which is very rare

Unfortunately, there is no known reason for the cause of uterine fibroids. It is possible that they are genetic or caused by hormonal factors. It is also not determined why or how they grow or shrink.

Treatment for Uterine Fibroids

If you have fibroids, the only treatment for them includes medications and surgery to remove them. With medication, the goal is to manage the pain associated with it, not necessarily to shrink or eliminate them. Medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, which can be purchased over the counter, can help manage pain for those with mild symptoms. Birth control can also often help reduce symptoms.

For those with more severe symptoms, surgery might be a helpful option. There are several different surgeries to help remove the fibroids, including a hysterectomy for those with a severe case.

Factors to consider when contemplating a surgical option include:

• Do your fibroids cause heavy bleeding?
• Are your fibroids causing pain or pressing on the bladder or rectum?
• Do you want to have a hysterectomy?
• Do you want to have children in the future?
