What is uterine fibroid degeneration

I believe that everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with the degeneration of uterine fibroids. Because if we want to understand the meaning of uterine fibroids degeneration, we need to start from multiple aspects. Although uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease, we still need to have a deep understanding of the degeneration of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids have many ways of degeneration. Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below. I hope you can learn more about uterine fibroids.

What does the degeneration of uterine fibroids mean? Some people say that the degeneration of uterine fibroids means they become malignant, while others say that the degeneration of uterine fibroids means changes in morphology such as glassy. What is the meaning of the degeneration of uterine fibroids? How should we deal with it? Can it be cured? Let us take a brief look at these issues below.

Uterine fibroids are common gynecological diseases. They are benign and can undergo various degenerative changes, most of which occur when the fibroids grow faster and blood supply is insufficient, such as during pregnancy and late menopause. These changes mainly include hyaline or transparent degeneration, red degeneration, cystic degeneration, fatty degeneration, calcification, necrosis, malignant change, etc. Here are some of the most common types:

1. Cystic change: It usually occurs after hyaline change, liquefaction and formation of cystic cavity, which is as soft as a cyst.

2. Hyaline degeneration or transparent degeneration: mainly due to insufficient blood supply, edema, liquefaction of the tumor, and replacement by hyaline substance.

3. Red degeneration: It often occurs during pregnancy and can also occur after delivery. The main causes are vascular embolism, tissue necrosis, bleeding and hemolysis, and hemoglobin infiltration, which stain the tissue red. At this time, most patients have severe abdominal pain.

4. Malignant transformation of myoma: The incidence rate is 0.13-1.39%, mainly sarcoma transformation. At this time, the uterus becomes soft and grows rapidly, often accompanied by irregular bleeding or excessive menstruation.

The degeneration of uterine fibroids mainly includes the above aspects. In view of this, we would like to remind all patients: after the disease is diagnosed, it must be treated as soon as possible in order to gain a good prognosis. Today, with the diversification of treatment methods for uterine fibroids, high-energy focused ultrasound knife therapy is recommended for the treatment of uterine fibroids. This therapy is effective in treating uterine fibroids. It focuses ultrasound emitted from outside the body on the tumor tissue in the body, and through thermal effects, cavitation effects, mechanical effects, sonochemical effects, etc., it causes irreversible coagulative necrosis of the tumor tissue, causing the cancer tissue to lose its ability to proliferate, infiltrate, and metastasize, and thus be dissolved and absorbed by the body. It is specifically implemented by emitting multiple beams of ultrasound outside the human body, which enter the human body through a water medium and focus to form a high-energy density area. The cancer tissue in the focal area absorbs the sound energy and generates heat, and the temperature can reach 70-100°C. The cancer cells in the focal area can be killed by heat in a very short time, thus achieving the purpose of anti-cancer.

This is the end of the introduction to the question of "What is the degeneration of uterine fibroids?" For more questions about uterine fibroids, please pay attention to website updates. Finally, I would like to remind you again: After confirming the diagnosis of uterine fibroids, you must choose active and standardized treatment as soon as possible. You must know that early diagnosis and early treatment are the golden rules for treating uterine fibroids.

In the above article, we introduced what uterine fibroids are. We know that uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease. Uterine fibroids may degenerate. The above article analyzes several degenerations of uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
