What Is an Intramural Fibroid?

How to treat? Uterine fibroids can be divided into submucosal fibroids, intermural uterine fibroids, subserosal fibroids, and submucosal uterus according to different growth sites.

How to treat? According to different growth sites, uterine fibroids can be divided into submucosal fibroids, intermural uterine fibroids, subserosal fibroids, and submucosal uterus.

Intermural myoma

In this article you will learn how to treat myometrial uterine fibroids.

The common symptoms of muscle wall fibroids are:

1, often asymptomatic, the symptoms are mainly related to the growth site, growth rate and presence or absence of fibroid degeneration.

2. Vaginal bleeding and secondary anemia: bleeding is the most common symptom. There can be more menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, shortened menstrual cycle, and more common between muscle wall fibroids, while subsalary fibroids are mostly irregular vaginal bleeding, dripping continuously; subserosal fibroids rarely occur in uterine bleeding.

3, lower abdominal pain and compression symptoms: generally no pain symptoms. Acute abdominal pain can occur when fibroids undergo red degeneration or twisting of the subserosal fibroid pedicle. Fibroids grow forward or backward and can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urinary retention or constipation. When fibroids grow to the sides, broad ligament fibroids are formed. When they press on the ureter, they can cause ureter or pyelemia such as pelvic vessels and lymphatic vessels, which can cause lower limb edema. ^[1]

Interstitial myomas

Once found to have uterine fibroids ^[2] , female friends should be actively treated. So as not to cause secondary anemia, infertility, abortion and miscarriage, after all, its harm cannot be ignored. The dangers of myometrial uterine fibroids include the following:

1. Uterine fibroids can become infected and pus. Uterine fibroids can cause pelvic, congestive, blood, and infections. Most of the infections are caused by the twist of the tumor pedicle, and blood-borne infections are extremely rare. After infection, a small number of patients developed abscesses in the tumor and tumor tissues, and the rest were purulent.

2. Uterine fibroids can develop adhesions or inflammation. Intestinal adhesions occur after twisting the subserosal uterine fibroid pedicle, which in turn will be infected by intestinal bacteria. Inflammated fibroids will adhere to the uterine appendages and cause purulent inflammation. On the other hand, fibroids can also cause pathogens to invade other uterine and luminal organs due to blood production, causing gynecological inflammation such as appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Uterine fibroids may develop secondary anemia. Uterine fibroids can cause excessive menstruation, menstrual flow, and excessive blood. Over time, they can cause secondary anemia, and even cause anemia heart disease. In severe cases, the patient may experience adverse symptoms such as general weakness, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and shortness of breath.

4, uterine fibroids can cause infertility or miscarriage. Uterine fibroids patients have fibroid tissue in the corner of the uterus that compresses the entrance to the fallopian tube, deforming the uterus and impeding the implantation of the fertilized egg, which ultimately leads to infertility. In addition, according to statistics, the spontaneous abortion rate of patients with fibroids is also higher than that of ordinary people, and the ratio is 4: 1.

Interstitial myoma

These fibroids are the most common, accounting for 60% -70% of the total number of fibroids. Intermuscular fibroids are often of variable number, often with one or several larger ones, and can sometimes be distributed over the entire uterine wall with very small nodules, forming irregular masses, forming multiple uterine fibroids. Others involve the cervix or deep fornix in development, and are easily confused with primary cervical fibroids. Due to better blood circulation between muscle wall fibroids, the tumors rarely undergo degeneration, which can cause severe deformation of the uterine body. And affect the uterine contraction, because the uterine volume increases and the endometrial area increases, it often causes excessive menstruation, excessive frequency and prolonged menstrual duration.

The typical symptoms of submucosal uterine fibroids are polymenorrhea and secondary anemia, increased secretion of leiomyomas caused by increased secretion of leiomyomas between muscle walls, and patients with subserosal uterine fibroids may have no symptoms, but if the tumor is too large Frequent urinary bladder may be compressed in the anterior wall, and constipation may be compressed in the posterior wall. The age of 40-50 is a common age of gynecological diseases. Patients with uterine fibroids should be treated early to prevent the tumor from growing or worsening.

Uterine fibroids should be surgically removed.
