Fibroids

What Is Fibroids?
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). The growths are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and vary in size. They are sometimes known as uterine myomas or leiomyomas.
Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumors coming from the myometrium (the muscle layer) of the uterus. Fibroids are extremely common. Up to four out of every five women have fibroids, although most of these women have no symptoms and do not need any treatment. Fibroids cause symptoms in approximately one out of every four women of reproductive age. They are usually detected in women in their thirties and forties and are more common in black women than white women. Fibroids usually shrink after menopause.

Fibroids

They are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus.
The tumor develops from an aberrant muscle cell in the uterus, which multiplies rapidly because of the influence of the hormone estrogen.

Types of Fibroids
Different fibroids develop in different locations in and on the uterus.

Intramural Fibroids
Intramural fibroids are the most common type of fibroid. These types appear within the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Intramural fibroids may grow larger and actually stretch your womb.
Subserosal Fibroids
Subserosal fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may grow large enough to make your womb appear bigger on one side.

Pedunculated Fibroids
When subserosal tumors develop a stem (a slender base that supports the tumor), they become pedunculated fibroids.



Submucosal Fibroids
These types of tumors develop in the inner lining (myometrium) of your uterus. Submucosal tumors are not as common as other types, but when they do develop, they may cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving.

Causes of Fibroids
While it is not clearly known what causes fibroids, it is believed that each tumor develops from an aberrant muscle cell in the uterus, which multiplies rapidly because of the influence of estrogen.
During a woman's reproductive years, estrogen and progesterone levels are high. When estrogen levels are high, especially during pregnancy, fibroids tend to swell. When estrogen levels are low, fibroids may shrink, for example, during a woman's menopause.
But several factors may influence their formation.
Hormones
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones produced by the ovaries. They cause the uterine lining to regenerate during each menstrual cycle and may stimulate the growth of fibroids.
Family History
Fibroids may run in the family. If your mother, sister, or grandmother has a history of this condition, you may develop it as well.


Pregnancy
Pregnancy increases the production of estrogen and progesterone in your body. Fibroids may develop and grow rapidly while you are pregnant.
Other growth factors
Substances that help the body maintain tissues, such as insulin-like growth factor, may affect fibroid growth.

Symptoms/Signs of Fibroids
Most women have no symptoms, but around 1 in 3 will experience symptoms, which may include:


Fibroids

Other possible symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

How to diagnose Fibroids
How are fibroids diagnosed?

Fibroids are most often found during a routine pelvic examination. This, along with an abdominal examination, may indicate a firm, irregular pelvic mass to the physician. In addition to a complete medical history and physical and pelvic and/or abdominal examination, diagnostic procedures for uterine fibroids may include:



            
How to Prevent Fibroids

Saturated Fats
Foods high in saturated fats should not be consumed by fibroid patients. These fats can raise the estrogen level, which allows fibroids to grow larger. These foods are also hard on the liver, making it difficult for the body to break down and rid itself of the excess hormones. Avoid bacon, sausage, egg yolks, avocados and high-fat processed snacks such as cookies and pastries, which are loaded with saturated fats.



Red Meat
Red meat from mammals and duck are not recommended for those with fibroids. These foods are likely to be high in added hormones, including estrogen. Eat lean white meat for a protein source instead.

  If you are sensitive to caffeine, avoid over-consuming green tea. It is higher in caffeine than some other teas and can cause nausea, jitteriness, or irritability in some people.

The following foods should be included in your diet to keep your fibroids at bay:
Organic Foods: Eating organic foods can help to prevent and shrink fibroids. Pesticides impact estrogen and other hormones levels. Since hormonal balance is key to natural fibroid treatment, you want to reduce your pesticide intake as much as possible.
Green Leafy Vegetables: Green leafy vegetables discourage the growth of fibroids in a woman’s body. These vegetables are vitamin K-rich foods. This vitamin  aids in clotting and helps control control of menstrual bleeding.



Cruciferous Vegetables: Cruciferous vegetables support detoxification of your liver and balance estrogen levels. Research has shown that high consumption of broccoli, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, tomato and apple seems to be a protective factor for uterine fibroids. A greater intake of cruciferous vegetables (and fresh fruits) is believed to be capable of reducing the incidence of uterine fibroids in women.
Beta-carotene Rich Foods: Upon digestion the human body turns beta carotene into vitamin A, which promotes the growth of healthy tissues as well as the repair of tissues, which can both be very helpful for healing fibroids. Some foods high in beta-carotene include carrots, sweet potatoes, kale and spinach.
High-Iron Foods: Fibroids sometimes cause some women to lose more blood during their monthly menstruation. This can lead to anemia. To replace the excessive loss of iron, include high-iron foods like grass-fed beef and legumes in your diet to help replace that lost iron and prevent anemia.
Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds help balance estrogen levels in the body, which can help to shrink fibroids. You should aim for at least two tablespoons per day if you have fibroids. You can sprinkle flaxseeds on oatmeal, in your smoothies or simply eat the seeds by themselves.
Whole Grains:  Instead of refined grains, opt for healthier whole grains like millet, spelt, brown rice, buckwheat, rye and oats.


    Pregnancy may also reduce the size of existing fibroids in some cases. However, some fibroids may get bigger during pregnancy. Because fibroids are poorly understood, there is no way of knowing whether your fibroids will grow or not during pregnancy.
Some research suggests that the protective effect of pregnancy is strongest during and immediately after pregnancy than for women whose pregnancies were farther in the past.

Treatment for Fibroids
There are a number of treatment options for fibroids. Which treatments you’re offered will depend on a number of things.

It’s important to let your doctor know if you’re planning on having a baby in the future. This is because some of the treatments for fibroids can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Speaking to your doctor about your wish to have a baby can help them suggest the most suitable treatment options for you.
Your treatment choices will also depend on:

Your doctor will discuss your treatment options with you to help you make a decision that’s right for you. Your decision will be based on your doctor’s expert opinion and your own personal values and preferences.
If you don't have any symptoms, or if your symptoms are mild, you may not need treatment. But if you have more severe symptoms, there’s a range of treatment options that may help.
Medications
Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them. Medications include:
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) agonists: Medications called Gn-RH agonists (Lupron, Synarel, others) treat fibroids by blocking the production of estrogen and progesterone, putting you into a temporary postmenopausal state. As a result, menstruation stops, fibroids shrink and anemia often improves. Your doctor may prescribe a Gn-RH agonist to shrink the size of your fibroids before a planned surgery.



Many women have significant hot flashes while using Gn-RH agonists. Gn-RH agonists typically are used for no more than three to six months because symptoms return when the medication is stopped and long-term use can cause loss of bone.
Progestin-releasing intrauterine device (IUD): A progestin-releasing IUD can relieve heavy bleeding caused by fibroids. A progestin-releasing IUD provides symptom relief only and doesn't shrink fibroids or make them disappear. It also prevents pregnancy.
Tranexamic acid (Lysteda): This nonhormonal medication is taken to ease heavy menstrual periods. It's taken only on heavy bleeding days.
Other medications: Your doctor might recommend other medications. For example, oral contraceptives or progestins can help control menstrual bleeding, but they don't reduce fibroid size.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are not hormonal medications, may be effective in relieving pain related to fibroids, but they don't reduce bleeding caused by fibroids. Your doctor may also suggest that you take vitamins and iron if you have heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia.
Surgical Treatments for Fibroids
If you have moderate or severe symptoms of fibroids, surgery may be the best treatment for you.
Surgical treatment can be a major procedure or a minor one. The type of surgery depends on the size, location, and number of fibroids present, and your desire to bear children in the future. Sometimes, there are a variety of surgical options to choose from. Talk to your health care provider about the different types of surgical treatments and about the possible risks, side effects, and recovery time of each procedure.



The current surgical treatments for fibroids are listed below.

Endometrial ablation (pronounced en-doh-MEE-tree-ul ah-BLAY-shun) destroys the lining of the uterus. It is used to treat small fibroids inside the uterus. Two common ways of doing an ablation are with a heated balloon, and with a tool that uses microwave energy to destroy the uterine lining and fibroids.
Pregnancy is unlikely after this procedure, but it can happen. Women who get pregnant after endometrial ablation are at higher risk for miscarriage and other problems. If you are going to have this treatment, talk to your health care provider about the risks of getting pregnant after the procedure. You might want to use birth control to prevent pregnancy until after you go through menopause.

Myomectomy
This procedure removes only the fibroids and leaves the healthy areas of the uterus intact. It can preserve your ability to get pregnant.
Myomectomy can be performed in one of three ways. The method you need will depend on the location and size of your fibroids.
Hysteroscopy (pronounced hiss­-tur­-AH­-skoh-­pee). For this procedure, the surgeon inserts a long, thin telescope with a light through the vagina and cervix (the opening of the uterus). The doctor then uses electricity or a mechanical device to cut or destroy the fibroids. The doctor will inject a fluid into the uterus to make it easier to see before trying to remove the fibroids.



Laparotomy (pronounced lap-­are­-AH-­toh-­mee). The surgeon removes the fibroids through a cut in the abdomen.
Laparoscopy (pronounced lap-­are­-AH­-skoh­-pee). The surgeon uses a long, thin telescope to see inside the pelvic area, and then removes the fibroids using another tool. This procedure usually involves two small cuts in the abdomen.
Studies show that myomectomy can relieve fibroid-related symptoms in 80% to 90% percent of patients. The original fibroids do not regrow after surgery, but new fibroids may develop. 
     
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is the only sure way to cure uterine fibroids completely. Health care providers usually recommend this option if your fibroids are large, you have very heavy bleeding, and you are near or past menopause.
During a hysterectomy, the whole uterus or just part of it is removed. The types of hysterectomy include:    Subtotal, or partial, hysterectomy: In this procedure, only the upper part of the uterus is removed.

Fibroids

Total hysterectomy: The entire uterus and the cervix are removed. Sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes are also removed. This procedure is called a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (pronounced bye-LATT-ur-el sal-PING-go ooh-for-EK-toh-mee).
Radical hysterectomy: This procedure removes the uterus, the tissue on both sides of the cervix, and the upper part of the vagina.
Types of Hysterectomies: A subtotal hysterectomy involves removing the upper portion of the uterus above the cervix. In a total hysterectomy, the surgeon removes the entire uterus, including the cervix. A radical hysterectomy includes the complete removal of the uterus, cervix, upper vagina, and surrounding tissue.

There are several approaches to doing a hysterectomy:
Abdominal hysterectomy: The surgeon removes the uterus through a cut in the abdomen. This incision may be similar to what is done during a cesarean section. Full recovery time from an abdominal hysterectomy is one to two months.6 Removal of the ovaries is not required for treatment of fibroid symptoms. Similarly, some women may desire to preserve the cervix, if there is no history of abnormal pap smears.

Vaginal hysterectomy: Instead of making a cut into the abdomen, the surgeon removes the uterus through the vagina. This method is less invasive than an abdominal hysterectomy, so recovery time is usually shorter. Vaginal hysterectomy may not be an option if your fibroids are very large

Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Minimally invasive approaches may include laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, or robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. Not all cases of uterine fibroids can be treated with such approaches, but these methods may result in reduced postoperative recovery time.




Robotic hysterectomy: Robotic hysterectomy is becoming more common. The surgeon sits at a console near the patient and guides a robotic arm to perform laparoscopic surgery. Like laparoscopic myomectomies, this technique requires only small incisions in the uterus and abdomen. As a result, recovery can be shorter than with more invasive procedures. More research is needed to understand how (and how well) these procedures work and to compare the outcomes with those of other established surgical treatments.
If you have not gone through menopause and are considering a hysterectomy for your fibroids, talk to your health care provider about keeping your ovaries. The ovaries make hormones that help maintain bone density and sexual health even if the uterus is removed. If your body can continue to make these hormones on its own, you might not need hormone replacement after the hysterectomy.
Having a hysterectomy means that you will no longer be able to get pregnant. Talk to your partner or spouse before deciding to have a hysterectomy. This process cannot be reversed, so be certain about your choice before having the surgery. by nichd.nih.gov

Risk of developing new Fibroids
For all procedures except hysterectomy, seedlings — tiny tumors that your doctor doesn't detect during surgery — could eventually grow and cause symptoms that warrant treatment. This is often termed the recurrence rate. New fibroids, which may or may not require treatment, also can develop.
