FIBROID  

A fibroid is a non-cancerous growth of the womb or uterus.

They are also called uterine myomas, fibromyomas or leiomyomas. Their size can vary. Some are the same size as a pea and some can be as big as a melon. Fibroids can increase in size, decrease in size or even go away with time. They can occur anywhere in the womb and are named according to where they grow.

What are the causes of fibroids?

 

A fibroid is like an overgrowth of smooth muscle cells. (The womb is mainly made of smooth muscle.)

It is not clear why they develop. Fibroids are sensitive to oestrogen, the hormone that is made in the ovary.

Fibroids tend to swell when levels of oestrogen are high - for example, during pregnancy. They also shrink when oestrogen levels are low - after the menopause. This shrinkage of the fibroids after the menopause may be delayed if you take hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Do you know of anyone that has suffers from this ailment? If you do, now is the time to help them.

How do you take care of Fibroids?

     Tranexamic acid is taken 3-4 times a day, for the duration of each period. It works by reducing the breakdown of blood clots in the womb.

Anti-inflammatory medicines also help to ease period pain. They are taken for a few days at the time of the period. They work by reducing the high level of a chemical (prostaglandin) in the lining of the womb.

The contraceptive pill may help you to have lighter periods and can often help with period pain too.

Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is similar to the coil that is used for contraception.

It is inserted into the womb and slowly releases a regular small amount of progestogen hormone called levonorgestrel. It works by making the lining of the womb very thin, so bleeding is lighter. However it can sometimes be difficult to insert into the womb in women with fibroids.
