Summary: Uterine fibroids (leiomyomata) are noncancerous growths that
develop in or just outside a woman’s uterus (womb). Uterine fibroids can range
in size, from microscopic to several inches across and weighing tens of pounds.
You may experience severe, painful cramps and abnormal or excessive bleeding,
especially during your periods. When all other causes of infertility are excluded
fibroids may account for only 2 to 3% of infertility cases. Fibroids can be
surgically removed, the blood supply to fibroids can be cut off, the entire uterus
can be removed, or medicine can temporarily shrink fibroids.

2. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors of the uterus (womb). Fibroids grow out of the cells that
make up your uterus. Uterine fibroids (also called myomas or leiomyomas) are benign
(noncancerous) tumors of muscle tissue that can change the shape or size of the uterus and
sometimes the cervix. They start in the smooth muscle cells inside the wall of the uterus
(myometrium). Fibroids usually occur in the form of multiple tumors, although single fibroids
are sometimes possible. Fibroids can be as small as a pea or as large as a football. Having
uterine fibroids does not increase your risk of cancer. They are almost always benign, no matter
how large they get.
The fact that approximately 20% to 50% of women suffer from the symptoms generated by
fibroid tumors at some stage of their lives suggests that they are quite common growths in the
reproductive system of a woman. Age is a factor. Fibroids are more common in women who are
35 years of age or older. Women under the age of 20 rarely have fibroids. These tumors of the
uterus tend to shrink after menopause. Studies indicate that black women are nine times more
susceptible to fibroids than white women. Furthermore, women who are overweight are more
likely to have fibroids because of higher levels of estrogen. No one knows exactly what causes
uterine fibroids. But the hormones that regulate your periods, particularly estrogen, are known
to play a part. Fibroids increase in size slowly over the years. But when estrogen level in the
body rises the rate of growth increases. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unclear, but there
is evidence that it may be a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors.

3. Not all fibroids are the same, and they're categorised based on where they are located. Fibroids
are usually found in or around the body of the uterus, but they sometimes occur in the cervix.
Fibroids within the uterus can be divided into three categories: subserous (located in the outer
wall of the uterus); intramural (found in the muscular layers of the uterine wall); and
submucous (protruding into the uterine cavity). In addition, fibroids can be connected to the
uterus through a stalk (pedunculated), or fibroids can be attached to nearby organs, like the
bladder and bowel, or the ligaments surrounding the uterus. About 55% of fibroids are
subserosal; 40% are intramural; and 5% are submucosal. Fibroids are rarely found outside the
pelvic cavity.
Large intramural fibroids may alter the blood flow to the uterine lining and may also alter the
shape of the uterine cavity. Subserosal fibroids usually don't alter the shape of the uterine
cavity, but when large can cause discomfort. The only type that is supposed to have a large
impact on reproductive function (unless they are large or numerous) is the submucous type
that pushes in to the uterine cavity. These are much less common than the other 2 types of
fibroids. Because of their location inside the uterine cavity, submucous fibroids can cause
fertility problems and miscarriages. Submucous fibroids can often be surgically resected to
improve fertility.

4. Diagnosis of the Fibroids: Fibroids are very common. About 25 percent of women in their
childbearing years will have signs of fibroids that can be detected by a pelvic examination,
although not all will experience symptoms. Your medical history and a pelvic exam are
necessary in diagnosing fibroids. Listed below are tests that may also be used to confirm the
diagnosis:
1) Ultrasound - a scan that uses high frequency sound waves to detect fibroids in and around
the uterus and cervix
2) Hysterosalpingogram - a procedure that uses x-rays and a special dye to detect fibroids on
the inside of your uterus and to see if your fallopian tubes are open
3) Hysteroscopy - a procedure in which your doctor uses a narrow fiber optic telescope inserted
into the uterine cavity to look for and sometimes remove fibroids
4) Laparoscopy - a procedure in which your doctor uses a narrow fiber optic telescope inserted
through an incision near your navel to look for and sometimes remove fibroids
What symptoms are experienced if fibroids exist?
The severity of symptoms will depend on the number, size, and location of the fibroids. You
may experience severe, painful cramps and abnormal or excessive bleeding, especially during
your periods. Also, you may have difficulty with moving your bowels or urinating if you have
fibroids that are putting pressure on your rectum or bladder. Hemorrhoids may also develop if
you become constipated. However, if your fibroids are small, you may not have any symptoms
at all. In fact, you may not know that you have fibroids until you go through infertility testing.
What treatments are available to cure fibroids?
Fibroids can be treated surgically or with medications. Fibroids can be removed during a
laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or through an open incision (myomectomy). Medications that stop
or interfere with your body's estrogen production are used to shrink fibroids and prevent them
from growing larger. Once the medication is stopped, the fibroids will regrow. Medication is
mainly used for treatment prior to surgery.
However, you can only use these medications for a few months - long-term use may increase
your risk of bone loss. Keep in mind that treatments do not provide a cure - new fibroids can
grow after treatment. Most fibroids are usually small, asymptomatic, and don't require
treatment. These benign tumors only need close gynecological observation to document
changes in size or the early onset of symptoms.

5. Fibroid Symptoms
Common symptoms associated to fibroids are back pain, abdominal pressure or discomfort,
urinary frequency, rectal pressure or discomfort, and periods that can be painful, heavy and
prolonged, Difficulty emptying your bladder and constipation. Rarely, a fibroid can cause acute
pain when it outgrows its blood supply.
Does fibroid decrease fertility?
Uterine fibroids are common, and they are found in 5-10% of infertile women. When all other
causes of infertility are excluded fibroids may account for only 2 to 3% of infertility cases.
Certain types of fibroids are known to decrease fertility. They include fibroids that are inside
the uterine cavity and very large fibroids (>6 cm in diameter) that are located within the wall of
the uterus. Because most women with fibroids will not be infertile, they and their partners
should have a thorough evaluation to detect other problems that can decrease fertility. A
fertility specialist can help determine if fibroids might be hampering their ability to conceive.
There are several explanations for why uterine fibroids may reduce fertility.
1) Changes in the position of the cervix due to fibroids located above it may affect the number
of sperm that can travel through the cervix.
2) Changes in the shape of the uterus can interfere with sperm movement.
3) Blockage of the fallopian tubes by the fibroids.

6. 4) Affecting the blood flow to the uterine cavity where the embryo would implant.
5) Changes in the uterine muscle that prevents movement of the sperm or the embryo.
If you have a fibroid problem, there are several treatments to consider. Fibroids can be
surgically removed, the blood supply to fibroids can be cut off, the entire uterus can be
removed, or medicine can temporarily shrink fibroids. Your choice will depend on whether you
have severe symptoms and whether you want to preserve your fertility. If you have uterine
fibroids but you have few or no symptoms, you don't need treatment. Instead, your doctor will
recommend watchful waiting. This means that you will have regular pelvic exams to check on
fibroid growth and symptoms. Talk with your doctor about how often you will need a checkup.
If you are nearing menopause, watchful waiting may be an option for you, depending on how
tolerable your symptoms are. After menopause, your estrogen and progesterone levels will
drop, which causes most fibroids to shrink and symptoms to subside.
It is an impression that fibroids contribute to infertility and there are instances that shows that
previously infertile women conceived after their fibroids had been removed. However there are
no strong evidence of causation, so whether fibroids do cause infertility, and therefore
whether they should be removed, is still uncertain.
You should call your doctor if you have heavy bleeding, increased cramping, or bleeding
between periods or if you feel fullness or heaviness in your lower belly area. Blossom Fertility
