    Uterine Fibroids Homeopathy Treatment

    Uterine fibroid (Fibroid uterus) is the most common benign tumor of the uterus. Benign indicates non-cancerous. It is a solid tumor. Uterine fibroid is also called uterine leiomyoma, myoma, or fibromyoma. It is so named because histologically this tumor is composed of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue.

    Uterine fibroid is more common in females who have never given birth (nulliparous) or in females who have one child and then infertility. Uterine fibroid is mostly seen in the age group 35 to 45 years.

    Causes:

    The cause for the development of Uterine fibroid is still unclear. It could be due to Dr. Kiran’s Homeo Life family history, or chromosomal abnormality or because of some polypeptide growth factors involved.

    Risk factors

    However, there are certain risk factors that could prone to Uterine fibroid formation. The risk factors could be

    • Nulliparity (female who has not given birth)
    • Obesity and Increased Body Mass Index (BMI)
    • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
    • High-fat diet

    Other factors bearing reduced risk in Uterine fibroid formation are

    • Menopause
    • Smoking
    • Oral contraceptives usage

    There are basically two types of Uterine fibroid based on the location where they are formed.

    The fibroids are formed in the Body of the uterus and the fibroids which are formed in the Cervix of the uterus.

    Uterine fibroid of the body of the uterus

    Uterine fibroids are mostly located in the body of the uterus. When fibroids are formed in the body of the uterus, they are usually multiple fibroids.

    With in the body of the uterus, the fibroids are again described based on the position in the body of the uterus. They are

    • Interstitial or Intramural fibroids: About 75% are of this origin. These fibroids are formed within the walls of the body of the uterus. Later, they are pushed either outward or inward.
    • Subperitoneal or Subserous: These fibroids are covered by peritoneum. They are the intramural fibroids pushed towards the peritoneal cavity. 15% of the fibroids are of this variety.
    •  Submucous: When the intramural fibroid is pushed towards the uterine cavity beneath the endometrium, it is called a submucous fibroid. This fibroid can make the uterine cavity irregular and distorted. Although only 5% are of submucous fibroid variety it produces maximum symptoms such as metrorrhagia(uterine bleeding at irregular intervals) or they get infected or get necrosed etc.

    Uterine fibroid in the cervix of the uterus

    Uterine fibroid in the cervix of the uterus is rare. They are positioned either anterior, posterior, later, or central. The interstitial growths tend to displace the cervix or sometimes expand the cervix. The fibroid in the cervix disturbs the structures surrounding the cervical part of the uterus, especially the ureter.

    Signs and symptoms

    In the majority of females, Uterine fibroid remains asymptomatic, say in about 75% there are no symptoms felt. The symptoms of Uterine fibroid are related to the size of the tumor and the location(anatomical site) of the fibroid.

    Uterine fibroid as such is mostly asymptomatic (without symptoms) but as it grows in size, could become symptomatic.

    • Irregular menses which includes menorrhagia, metrorrhagia
    • Painful menses i.e, dysmenorrhoea
    • Infertility
    • Pain in the lower abdomen
    • Pain in the pelvic region
    • Pregnancy-related problems like miscarriage, preterm labor
    • Dyspareunia (Difficult or painful sexual intercourse)
    • Pressure symptoms such as constipation, retention of urine, pain during urination.

    Signs

    A uterine fibroid may not be easily felt in the initial stages until it is enlarged to a considerable size with the presence of symptoms.

    On palpation, a fibroid may feel firm or a little hard.

    On percussion, the swelling is dull.

    Gynecologist on Bimanual examination will find uterus irregularly enlarged by the swelling felt per abdomen.
