As many as 1 in 5 women may have fibroids during their childbearing years (the time after starting menstruation and before menopause). Half of all women have fibroids by age 50. Fibroids can be so tiny that you need a microscope to see them.
Are you suffering from any of these kinds of disorders and discomforts like excessive bleeding, Swelling of the abdomen, pain in hips or painful sexual intercourse? If yes then it's high time to take action rather than ignoring them. All these are symptoms of Uterine Fibroids, also known as Leiomyoma, the non-cancerous benign tumors that usually grow within and around the wall of the uterus of women.
It is one of the most common health hazard found these days in women. Fibroids have a tendency to grow very fast and may result in various health issues such as heavy or painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, urinary frequency, urgency, abdominal discomfort, back ache, infertility (some cases), miscarriage or premature labor (during pregnancy). As per Gynecologists and Obstetricians, one in five women, who falls between the age 20 to 45 years suffers from uterine fibroids. However, the root cause of uterine fibroids is yet not defined.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided High-intensity focused ultrasound solution is a major breakthrough in the medical industry to treat uterine fibroids. HIFU therapy has evolved as the non-invasive treatment for uterine fibroids. HIFU is also known as FUS is a non surgical medical procedure used to diagnose Uterine Leiomyoma, done only under the guidance of an experienced radiologist. It is a painless hyperthermia therapy under which high-intensity focused sonic energy is applied to destroy diseased tissues through ablation. In medical terminology, Hifu therapy is a class of clinical therapies where the temperature (heat) is used to cure non-cancerous benign tumors.
