Fibroids Treatment

I had researched high and low on the net for information on the fibroids treatment. I will summarize for you, what I feel are the 3 major classifications  for fibroids :

1) Intramural Uterine Fibroids – this type of fibroids appears on the walls of the uterus. An enlargement of the uterus can occur which can cause lots of pain. For instance, the bleeding during menstruation can be heavier than usual and pains in the back region are common symptoms.

2) Submuscosal Uterine Fibroids – They occur within the tissue that lines the uterus and they seem to grow inwards. The type of uterus fibroid can cause extremely heavy menstrual bleeding.

3) Subserosal Uterine Fibroids – They appear in the tissue lining the uterus, but they tend to grow outward into the uterine cavity. They also can cause lot of lower back pain. Plus, they can extend from a stalk. This stalk can twist around and cause lots of pain the pelvis.

I actually had to deal with submuscosal uterine fibroids and even though I was diagnosed early on, I still had lots of bleeding that occurred.

I have read in many journals that fibroids may be linked to the production of estrogen, but of course, I am not a  medical expert. Apparently, when the estrogen levels are high, the fibroids can act up and expand. Also, when most women enter into menopause, the problems and the pain associated with uterine fibroids tend to lessen greatly.

With my personal fibroids story, I decided to get an ultrasound done to see whether or not I had fibroids. It was my idea to have the ultrasound done because my mother had suffered from fibroids just before going to menopause.  The pain that I had been experiencing each and every month has diminished.
