Subserosal Fibroid
Subserous fibroids are lumps that grow externally on the uterus hence making it look bigger than it actually is.
These fibroids usually appear during menstruation because this is when the uterus’s blood supply is the greatest. They are supplied with oxygen and nutrients by the blood, which speeds up the growth of the fibroids.
Subserous fibroids can become massive in size. So large in fact that it can make a woman afflicted with them to appear to be six months pregnant.
Pain is often reported in other locations of the body like the lower back or the backside of the legs due to the stimulation of sensory nerves in these areas.
Abdominal bloating, even more so during menstruation, and the appearance of being pregnant, are tell tale signs of subserous fibroids.
These fibroids can cause more than discomfort, they can also inflict damage on the connecting tubes between the kidneys and the bladder, resulting in kidney problems. Also, they can place pressure on nearby organs such as the colon and bladder causing irregularity and difficulty in urination, or incontinence because of their close proximity.
Keeping fibroids alive in the body requires a lot of blood flow. Without that blood flow, parts of the fibroids can be starved to death. This painful process occurs when nutrients and oxygen cannot reach the fibroid centre because it has become so large.
Doctors may sometimes mistake fibroids for ovarian cysts, particularly when they’re attached by a stalk to the outside of the uterus. The only method of discerning the difference between ovarian cysts and subserous fibroids is an MRI; ultrasounds do not give enough information to make this determination. MRI is an acronym for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a new technology that lets radiologists see a detailed picture of the inside of one’s body.
For doctors, the surgical removal of subserous fibroids can often be easier than removing other fibroid types because they manifest themselves on the outside of one’s uterus. A laparoscopic myomectomy is the most typical surgical option. It is a type of keyhole surgery in which surgeon makes small abdominal incisions and subsequently removes the fibroid surgically.
A research was conducted at the Third Military Medical University in China, in which doctors evaluated the usefulness of myomectomies and Uterine Artery Embolization. Uterine Artery Embolization is when the blood supply to the fibroids is surgically obstructed to prevent blood and nutrients from reaching them so as to contract the fibroids.
One hundred and forty-two women were treated with eitherUAE or laparoscopic myomectomy and octors followed up for sixteen months to study the effectiveness of both treatments. Fibroids returned in five of the 142 participants who had had fibroids from 2 to 12 centimeters surgically removed.
Although surgery can provide you with immediate outcomes, there are associated perils. For example, laparascopic myomectomies can injure blood vessels or the intestines. They can also lead to the formation of more scar tissue and adhesions, which can affect your digestive and reproductive systems. Uterine Artery Embolization causes tissue death, which can lead to serious contamination in the uterus which can spread to other body parts. Tissue death not only causes extreme pain but it is also be accompanied by a very obnoxious vaginal smell.
The perils associated with surgery can be acute and life-threatening, so many women now prefer natural alternatives, because although they give slow outcomes, they do not have any associated perils.
