Uterine Myoma

Recover quickly with Non-Invasive HIFU Treatment

The most common tumor in women Uterine myoma

Uterine myomas are benign tumors that develop from the smooth muscle that makes up the majority of the uterus and are common in women in their 30s and 40s.

The exact cause is not yet known, but female hormones (estrogen) and genetic factors may play a role.

Although uterine myomas are not cancer, they can cause a variety of symptoms depending on their size, number, and location, so it's important to detect them as early as possible through accurate screening so they can be treated appropriately.

Causes of Uterine Myoma

Symptoms of Uterine Myoma

About 10% to 20% of uterine myomas cause the following symptoms, depending on their size, number, and location. If they interfere with your daily life or grow larger, you should seek treatment.

Increased pelvic pain

The size of the uterus is enlarged in proportion to the size of the tumor, causing it to enlarge along with it

Pressure

It manifests as compression of organs around the uterus due to enlarged fibroids.

Infertility and miscarriage

Depending on the size and location of the fibroid, it occurs while preventing safe implantation

Increased menstrual blood

Increased menstrual cramps and irregular bleeding

Types of Uterine Myoma

Uterine myomas are classified based on their location within the uterus: intramural, subserosal, and submucosal fibroids. Their size tends to increase due to the influence of female hormones and growth hormones.

Types of Uterine Myoma

1. Intramuscular Myoma

Fibroids that develop in the muscle layer of the uterus, changing the shape of the uterus and increasing the area of the endometrium, causing more painful periods and increased menstrual flow.

2. Submucosal Myoma

They are fibroids that develop on the lining of the uterus and are the most dangerous type. Regardless of size, they carry a high risk of bleeding and complications, and can be a direct cause of infertility and infertility.

3. Submucosal Myoma

These are fibroids that develop within the membranes lining the uterus and are often asymptomatic; they may stretch and form stalks.

Treatment of Uterine Myoma

The treatment of uterine myoma can vary depending on the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids, as well as the patient's age and health.

  • 1

    Medications - It may temporarily help reduce the size of fibroids or relieve symptoms, but it is not a cure.

  • 2

    Non-surgical HIFU Procedures - An advanced treatment that uses ultrasound to destroy fibroids without incisions

  • 3

    Surgical treatment - There are myomectomies and hysterectomies.

Why you need uterine myoma treatment before pregnancy

The endometrium is the part of the uterus where the baby implants, and the presence of fibroids in the endometrium can interfere with implantation, and treatment will be determined by the size and growth rate of the individual's fibroids.

First trimester

Depending on the location and size of the fibroids, the risk of infertility may increase, making it difficult to get pregnant

Second trimester

With the degeneration of fibroids during pregnancy, pain may occur and there is a risk of early miscarriage

Second trimester

The weight of the fibroids can cause uterine atony, and there may be a risk of infertility and postpartum hemorrhaging

While the exact cause is not yet fully understood, several factors are known to play a role in the development of fibroids, including hormonal imbalances, genetics, and lifestyle.

In the early stages of fibroids, most have few or no symptoms, but symptoms may include severe menstrual cramps, heavy periods, and abdominal pressure.
