What is myoma?

Fibroids are benign tumors that are frequently seen in the uterus. It is one of the most common health problems in women's reproductive age. In this article, we'll learn more about fibroids and consider their symptoms, causes, and treatment options.

Symptoms:
Symptoms of fibroids can vary depending on the size, number, and location of the tumors. Some women have fibroids that cause no symptoms, while others may experience:
excessive menstrual bleeding
Prolonged or frequent menstrual periods
Pelvic pain or feeling of pressure
difficulty urinating
Constipation or frequent urination
Reasons:
Although the exact causes of fibroids are not fully known, some factors are thought to contribute to the development of fibroids:
Hormonal imbalance: Imbalance in estrogen and progesterone hormones can trigger fibroid formation.
Genetic predisposition: Women with a family history of fibroids are at risk of developing fibroids.
Age factor: Fibroids usually occur in women of reproductive age and usually shrink as they approach menopause.
Treatment Options:
Fibroid treatment varies depending on the severity of symptoms, age, general health, and pregnancy plans. Treatment options may include:
Medication: Hormonal medications can be used to control the growth of fibroids or relieve symptoms.
Surgical intervention: Surgical intervention may be required in large fibroids or in cases where symptoms are severe. Methods such as myomectomy (removal of only fibroids) or hysterectomy (complete removal of the uterus) can be applied.
Radiofrequency ablation: A minimally invasive procedure for fibroids, radiofrequency ablation can help shrink fibroids and reduce symptoms.
Fibroids are benign tumors that are frequently encountered in the reproductive age of women. Depending on the severity and magnitude of the symptoms, treatment methods are determined. If you have symptoms or concerns about fibroids, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional.
