The next thing is regular exercise. It’s not that you will be healthy just by exercising. You should also choose the appropriate exercise method according to your specific physical condition. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases to a certain extent. Here we introduce the treatment of submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity.

1. Overview

Intrauterine submucosal fibroids are the most common benign gynecological tumors and are more common in women aged 30 to 50. Submucosal uterine fibroids are uterine fibroids that grow protruding into the uterine cavity. Because the surface of the fibroids is covered with endometrium, it increases the area of ​​the endometrium and occupies a space in the uterine cavity, affecting the discharge of menstrual blood. Therefore, it can cause abnormal contraction of the uterus, dysmenorrhea, and be accompanied by heavy menstrual flow and period disorders. Submucosal fibroids are easy to form pedicles and grow in the uterine cavity like foreign bodies. The fibroids can be squeezed out of the external os of the cervix and protrude into the vagina.

2. Causes

The exact cause is not yet clear, because fibroids often occur during the childbearing years and shrink after death, it suggests that it may be related to female sex hormones. In addition, cytogenetic studies have shown that 25% to 50% of uterine fibroids have cytogenetic abnormalities. Submucosal fibroids enlarge the uterine cavity, affect uterine contraction, and can cause increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. If the patient has excessive menstruation for a long time, it may lead to secondary anemia, and symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. When submucosal myoma necrosis is accompanied by infection, there will be irregular bleeding or purulent discharge. Huge submucosal fibroids may prolapse out of the vagina, and some patients seek medical treatment due to vaginal prolapse. Submucosal fibroids compress the fallopian tubes, causing them to twist, or deform the uterine cavity, thus preventing the fertilized egg from implanting and leading to infertility.

Treatment

Excessive menstruation leads to secondary anemia, drug treatment is ineffective, severe abdominal pain, and myoma degeneration requires surgical treatment. Patients with submucosal fibroids who wish to retain their fertility can undergo hysteroscopic myomectomy, and submucosal fibroids that protrude into the vagina can be removed transvaginally. Patients who do not desire to have children, patients with large uterine fibroids and secondary severe anemia, or patients suspected of malignant transformation need to undergo hysterectomy.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity. I hope it will be helpful to you. Li Ao once talked about his mother in his book. She never liked sports, was emotionally unstable, had a bad temper, and loved to scold her children, but she lived to be nearly a hundred years old. However, some people who love sports may not necessarily live long. Therefore, it can be said that humans still have not mastered the secret of longevity.
