Myoma of the uterus is a hormone-dependent benign tumor and occurs more often in 30 to 40-year-old women. Some women can live with fibroids and not to guess that they have it, and others after 30 years suffer from frequent uterine bleeding, and eventually come to surgery. We will try to consider whether the uterine myoma is dangerous for life and what.
Myoma of the uterus - is it dangerous?
To understand the more dangerous the uterine fibroids, the larger the size, you need to familiarize yourself with all the clinical symptoms that it manifests itself. In most women, the presence of myomatous nodes may not manifest itself as any symptoms, but after reaching certain sizes, make itself felt. So, one of the most obvious symptoms of myoma are:
- prolonged and profuse menstrual and intermenstrual bleeding, which lead to the development of anemia;
- pain in a sexual act;
- pulling pains in the lower abdomen ;
- failure of the menstrual cycle.
All these symptoms in the absence of treatment are exacerbated over the years and can lead a woman to the operating table.
Is the uterine myoma growing? Is it dangerous?
When the uterine myoma grows to a certain size, it begins to give the woman even greater problems. So, for example, an enlarged uterus can shift adjacent organs and disrupt their work (constipation and impaired urination, the syndrome of the inferior vena cava when it is squeezed). Another unsafe moment is the possibility of the degeneration of a benign myomatous node into a malignant node, especially during the menopause.
Thus, after examining the clinical symptoms of uterine myoma, we see that it is quite dangerous. It can be compared to a time bomb, which for a long time can be silent, and then present an unpleasant surprise. That is why it is important to start to treat it in a timely manner, but the doctor will tell you how to do it better.
