Uterine fibroids, we do not necessarily know what it is and yet we may suffer from them without realizing it. These are growths that develop inside but also around the uterus without necessarily suffering from it. Only 1/3 of people who are affected by fibroids have symptoms and many discover it by chance during a gynecological examination.
Non-cancerous, they do not make us particularly suffer, it all depends on the people, their importance and their location. They can even disappear, as they came, without treatment and without reason. But others can cause pain or discomfort, which can be treated with treatment, while others require surgery. The most common symptom is increased menstrual flow and the appearance of pain that persists even after ingesting painkillers. Depending on their location, they can put pressure on different organs and cause pain in the back, stomach, urinary and digestive problems, but also during sexual intercourse.
The most affected women are between 30 and 50 years old, overweight, and already a mother. These fibroids can also cause problems getting pregnant and carrying a pregnancy to term, since the fetus has difficulty clinging to the wall of the uterus, already occupied by the fibroids. Problems during childbirth can also appear since these tumors can be in the path taken by the baby to be expelled and have a disruptive effect on contractions and labor.
If you suffer particularly during your period, that the hot water bottle, the position of the fetus in its bed while cursing Mother Nature and ingesting painkillers, is no longer enough, it may be worth talking to your doctor. A simple treatment can be enough!
