What is Myoma?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Myoma<\/a> is one of the most common health problems in women. The symptoms that cause the most complaints in fibroids occur during the menstrual period.<\/p>\n

Fibroids are the name given to the urine coming out of the muscle layer of the uterus. Fibroids in the uterus are usually benign tumors.<\/p>\n

These tumors are 1 cm in diameter; They can develop in the cervix and uterus. They are usually in the womb. Fibroids, leiomyomas, and fibromyomas can be attributed to these fibroids located in the uterus.<\/p>\n

Fibroids located in the female uterus are divided into 3 groups, among which:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Submucous Fibroids<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is a type of fibroid that usually develops on the inner surface of the uterus. It is the least common type among other fibroids.<\/p>\n

Although rare, the most common bleeding complaints are seen in this fibroid.<\/p>\n

Intramural Fibroids<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These are fibroids found in a woman’s uterus. It is usually the most common type of fibroid. These fibroids also cause excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged periods like submucosal fibroids.<\/p>\n

In addition, women experience extreme abdominal pain. The person feels the fullness of the abdomen as a result of their growth. Growing fibroids put pressure on other organs in the abdomen.<\/p>\n

Subserous Fibroids<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These fibroids are types of fibroids that are usually located on the outer surface of the uterus. They do not cause bleeding like other types of fibroids.<\/p>\n

Severe abdominal pain occurs only in the individual. The pain is mainly located in the back. These uterine fibroids put excessive pressure on the surrounding organs.<\/p>\n

How Often and Who Occurs Fibroids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fibroids occur in one in four women. Fibroids seen at 30-40 years of age shrink after menopause. 40% of women over the age of 40 have fibroids and 75% of women with fibroids are unaware of fibroids.<\/p>\n

What causes myoma?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The exact cause of fibroids is not known.<\/p>\n

But some research and clinical trials point to several important factors:<\/p>\n

Hormones:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Estrogen, the female hormone, accelerates their growth. Estrogen levels in the body can rise or fall depending on natural events.<\/p>\n

For example, pregnancy causes an increase in estrogen and menopause causes a decrease. Medications also cause a change in estrogen levels.<\/p>\n

Family History: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fibroids may be inherited. If your mother, sister, or grandmother has it, you’re more likely to have it too.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

During pregnancy, the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in your body increases. Fibroids can develop and grow faster while pregnant.<\/p>\n

Race:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Black women are at greater risk of fibroids than women from other racial groups. Also, black women have fibroids<\/a> at a younger age and have more or larger fibroids.<\/p>\n

Environmental Factors:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Early menstruation, use of birth control pills, obesity, vitamin D deficiency, high consumption of red meat, low consumption of green vegetables, fruits and dairy products, and high alcohol consumption increase the risk of developing uterine fibroids.<\/p>\n

How Fast Do Myoma Grow?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Very slow-growing fibroids usually grow quickly during pregnancy and in women taking hormone therapy containing estrogen.<\/p>\n
