Symptoms Of Fibroids And How To Diagnose Them

By hammy3161 On August 2, 2010 No Comments

The basic problem with the symptoms of fibroids is that, not all women have them. Usually the growths in the uterus that are quite small in size show no symptoms. In many cases they are discovered on a normal gynecological examination or antenatal care. Though as many as 50% of all women who are about to reach menopause or are a few years from this have this medical condition, surprisingly, many of them do not show any symptoms at all. However this is not good news at all because without any symptoms, the treatment cannot start. So this means that if you have uterine fibroids, it is probably better for you if the symptoms are visible. Remember, fibroids can cause some complications in some cases, and thus an early detection is always better. Some serious complications include infertility and cancer in the uterus (though quite rare).

Since so many women have fibroids in the uterus and so many of them show no symptoms at all, it is advisable to get a test done from time to time. An early detection would lead to an early treatment and you can thus avoid the complications. It is better to remain safe than be sorry later.

Here Are Some of the Symptoms of Fibroids

Remember, as many as 50% of all women develop fibroids in the uterus and so chances are, you might also have them. So it is better that you know what the symptoms are. If you are aware of the symptoms, you will be able to easily detect them, and when you do, you can go and meet your doctor who will then ask for some tests for a confirmation before the treatment can begin.

Some of the symptoms of fibroids include:

Heavier periods and bleeding in between periods:  This can be a sure sign of fibroids in the uterus. But the bleeding can happen because of other reasons as well and so you need to be certain that this is due to your fibroids. But if it because of the fibroids, it is probably because of the fact that the number of blood vessels within your uterus has increased. Sometimes however, the bleeding can even be less or erratic – in all those cases where fibroids has congested the blood vessels in the uterus.

Pain in the abdomen:  One in every three women who have fibroids in the uterus feel some pain in the abdomen and in many of them, the pain is quite acute. The degree of pain depends on the number of growths, the location and their size. If the fibroids are quite large, they can put pressure on the surrounding organs and can also disrupt the blood supply, thus causing the pain.

Problems in urination:  Often fibroids put additional pressure on the bladder and because of this, the woman may feel an urgency to urinate, and that too more frequently.

Bloating: When these growths start to grow, it usually becomes noticeable from the outside. However, the abdomen bloating is not dangerous. But they can still cause a lot of discomfort and embarrassment. Sudden bloating or fullness can be a sign of fibroids.

Fertility problems:  In some cases at least, the sperm’s passage to the fallopian tubes can get blocked due to the location of fibroid. Fertility issues can also arise if the growth is under the lining of the womb. And in a few other cases, miscarriages too have been reported because of fibroids. Because of all this, infertility is also a symptom of uterine fibroids.

Eradicating the Symptoms

Never try to get rid of the symptoms of fibroids, a common mistake of conventional remedies. Instead try to eradicate the root factors because of which the growths happen. Once these factors are gone, the symptoms go away on their own. This is the exact approach of holistic remedies and it is because of this that these remedies have been so successful in the treatment of fibroids.

Fibroids In Uterus – The Real Cause

By hammy3161 On August 2, 2010 No Comments

Before going into what really causes fibroids in uterus, it is a good idea to find out what it is and the problems it can create. Uterine fibroids are basically small tumors (no, they are not cancerous) and these growths happen in the womb of women – particularly in the wall of the uterus. Sometimes these growths are observed as a single tumor, and sometimes they appear as clusters of several small tumors. This medical condition is actually quite common in women who are in the middle or the later part of their reproductive years. Some experts are even of the opinion that as many as 50% of all such women are affected by this medical condition.

Symptoms of Fibroids In Uterus

Interestingly many women show no symptoms at all, even though their fibroids might be quite big. These people are however in minority. In most cases the symptoms are indeed visible and these could be irregular bleeding from the vagina, enhanced menstrual bleeding, need to urinate frequently, pressure in the pelvic region, increase in waist size not because of obesity, pain during sexual intercourse and even infertility.

What Are The Real Causes of Fibroids In Uterus?

Most experts agree that what exactly causes the uterine fibroids are yet to be fixed. But, they are of the opinion that like most other medical conditions, the blame cannot be probably fixed on one particular issue. In other words, there can be several factors why women have these growths, and often these factors work together in relationship with each other.

There are both primary and secondary factors, and then there are certain causative agents that aggravate an already compromised condition. And on top of that, there can be external factors, mental factors and even life situations as well that directly or indirectly form the environment in which the internal balance is disrupted. Of course when the internal balance of the body becomes disturbed, we all become susceptible to various illnesses, and uterine fibroids are just one of them.

Some Other Factors That Can Cause Fibroids In Uterus

The lifestyle you lead and even the food that you consume can either cause fibroids in uterus or can work as a trigger. These days we all lead an extremely busy lifestyle and since we are always on the move, the biggest sufferer seems to be the food that we eat. All those traditional mid-day and end of day meals are out. Now most of us are interested in a quick snack, a quick bite that we can have while driving. There’s also the business lunch, where the stress is on business, rather than lunch.

Most of these fast foods are rich in fat and they are needless to say unhealthy. They often come with toxic elements that get deposited within the body. And both toxicity and excess fat are known to be causes of uterine fibroids.

Here Are Some of the Primary Factors of Fibroids In Uterus

  • Genetic predisposition
  • A poor diet
  • A weakened immune system
  • Accumulation of toxins in the digestive tract
  • Insulin resistance and obesity

The Most Effective Remedy for Fibroids In Uterus

The fact is, holistic remedies always work best for uterine fibroids. There is a basic difference between how holistic remedies and conventional remedies work. Conventional remedies treat the symptoms of the condition and aims to eradicate them. But holistic remedies treat the body as a whole and eradicated the root causes of the problem. And since uterine fibroids are caused because of several factors, holistic remedies aim to solve all these real issues rather than just the symptoms. This is why the results are permanent. With the conventional approach on the other hand, the symptoms almost always return because the root causes remain untreated.
