Definition
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of muscular and fibrous tissues in the uterine
muscle appearing during childbearing age, often presenting with heavy menstrual
bleeding and pressure on the pelvis. (Psora/ Sycosis)
A quarter woman in their reproductive years may have perceptible fibroids. Fibroids
develop between the ages of 30-50 years of age. It is never seen in women less
than 20 years old. After menopause, if a woman does not take estrogen, fibroids
shrink. (Causa occasionalis)

Causes
The cause of fibroids is unknown, however an amalgam of hormonal, genetic, and
environmental factors is responsible to develop symptomatic fibroids.

Hormones
Fibroids are associated with increased estrogen production. They are rare in women
less than 20 years of age as well as in postmenopausal women. Estrogen levels vary
with menstruation, with menopause, and with some medications. (Psora+++/
Sycosis++)

Environment
Alcohol consumption and a sedentary lifestyle have been associated with fibroids.
(Causa occasionalis)

Ethnicity
their fibroids occur at a younger age, and are often larger and more numerous than
in other ethnic groups. (Psora)

BMI
The higher the BMI (body-mass index) the higher is the risk of developing fibroids.
(Psora/ Sycosis)

Pregnancy
Women who have given birth seem to have a lower risk of developing uterine
fibroids. Recent information indicates that pregnancy may protect against fibroids.
(Causa occasionalis)

Early menstruation
Women whose first period was before age 10 are more likely to have uterine
fibroids. (psora)

Contraceptives
Women taking birth control pills are less likely to develop significant uterine fibroids.
(Causa occasionalis)

Family history
Heredity may play its role. (Psora)

Types

Uterine fibroids are classified by their position in uterus-

Myometrial (intramural)
Fibroids are in the muscular wall of the uterus.

Submucosal
Fibroids grow just under the interior surface of the uterus, in the muscle beneath the
uterine lining.

Subserosal fibroids
Fibroids grow on the outside wall of the uterus.

Pedunculated
Fibroids usually grow outside of the uterus, attached to the uterus by a base or
stalk.

Cervical
Fibroids growing in the cervix.

Symptoms
Uterine fibroids cause no symptoms at all. When symptoms from uterine fibroids
appear, they can include-

Prolonged menstrual periods

Women who have submucous or intramural fibroids are most likely to have heavy
uterine bleeding. (Psora/ Sycosis)

Pelvic pressure and pain

Large fibroids that press on nearby structures such as the bladder and bowel can
cause pressure and pain. Larger fibroids tend to cause worse symptoms and cause(Causa occasionalis)

Abdominal discomfort
Feelings of pressure
Abdominal distension
Urinary problems
Frequency of micturition
Urinary retention
Bowel problems
Constipation

Pain with intercourse

Fibroids may cause dyspareunia due to pressure symptoms. (Psora/ Causa
occasionalis)

Infertility
This is a rare symptom of fibroids. It probably accounts for less than 3% of infertility
cases. Fibroids can cause infertility by compressing the uterine cavity. Submucous
fibroids can fill the uterine cavity and interfere with implantation of the fertilized
egg. (Psora/ Causa occasionalis)

Miscarriage
This is also an unusual symptom of fibroids, probably accounting for only a tiny
fraction of the miscarriages that occur. (Psora/ Sycosis /Causa occasionalis/ Syphlis)

Pregnancy complications
Fibroids can greatly increase in size during pregnancy, because of increased levels
of estrogen. They can cause pain, and even lead to premature labor. They may also
cause intrapartum bleeding. (Psora/ Sycosis /Causa occasionalis/ Syphlis)

Diagnosis

Ultrasound
Magnetic resonance imaging of pelvis
Uterine biopsy
Hysterosalpingogram
Sonohysterogram
Hysteroscopy
