Notable Treatment Options of Uterine Fibroid
by Radhika Pawar creative content writerUterine Fibroid is among the health
complications that currently affects most women worldwide. Most women who
suffer from Uterine Fibroids don’t actually know that they have this health
complication. Uterine Fibroids can sometimes make the life of a woman unbearable.
This is mainly because it leads to the development of muscles inside or just
outside the uterus.
The good news is you can easily
treat Uterine Fibroid,
especially if a doctor detects it during the early stages. One thing you should
remember is that the real reason behind Uterine Fibroids is not known, although
there are some theories that try to explain this. Some doctors believe that
Uterine Fibroids is a genetic disorder while others associate it with a
decrease in estrogen levels during menopause.
It is advisable that you seek
medical attention once you detect symptoms of Uterine Fibroids. This is
regardless of the reasons behind Uterine Fibroids. Some of the symptoms of
Uterine Fibroids include:Constipation, Increase in overall body weight,
reproductive problems like infertility, frequent urination, pain in the pelvic
area and heavy bleeding that may last for quite some time, to mention a few.
Most women will not experience these
symptoms especially if the Uterine Fibroid is very small. However, you should
visit a doctor if you notice any sign and symptom of Uterine Fibroids. Your
doctor will then have to diagnose the health complication using an annual
pelvic examination. If this method does not work then your doctor can decide to
use MRI, Ultrasound or Hysteroscopy. With these methods, it will become easy to
identify the severity of Uterine Fibroids.
Uterine Fibroids should not make
your life a living hell since there are a number of treatment methods that work
effectively. The treatment method that your doctor will use depends on age,
size and location of the fibroids. The doctor may decide to administer
medications like Lupron and GnRHA, which are Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
Agonists (GnRHa). However, these medications may end up causing side effects
like depression, hot flashes and decreased sex drive.
The most suitable treatment method
for Uterine Fibroids is surgery. This is mainly because a surgery will remove
the Uterine Fibroid while at the same time preventing the recurrence of this
condition in future. There are two types of surgery to treat Uterine Fibroids

whole uterus. This makes it impossible for patients to get children in the
future.
