Nevertheless, almost every second woman after forty has on its list of diseases of the disease. But do not be frightened, fibromatosis of the uterus is less dangerous than the fibroid.

Fibromatosis of the uterus - is the initial stage of fibroids, in which the muscle tissue of the uterus begins to be replaced by connective tissue sections. When fibromatosis of the uterus is not formed knots, and there is only a slight increase (hypertrophy) of the uterus.

Under the influence of certain factors of the formation areas, substituted connective tissue is enhanced, and the process proceeds directly to benign tumors of the uterus - fibroids. Determine the cause of fibromatosis is not established, but identified predisposing factors contributing to the development of the disease.

Predisposing factors

• hormonal background;
• pelvic inflammatory disease;
• a history of intrauterine manipulation (abortion, curettage Scraping - heavy and unsafe procedure   the uterus);
• genetic predisposition;
• impaired environment, poor diet, stress, bad habits;
• overweight;
• hormonal predisposition (irregular menstruation and reproductive function);
• extragenital diseases that contribute to dysfunction of the ovaries and other endocrine glands.

Classification fibromatosis and uterine fibroids

By the nature of the spread of isolated nodal and diffuse forms. Fibroids, especially large size, typically represented as nodes when both uterine fibromatosis often occurs diffusely (loosely), without clear boundaries on palpation.

In the place of localization release:

• subserous fibroids - node (s) grows into the abdominal cavity and is located on the outside of the uterus under the serous membrane;
• interstitial fibroids (vnitristenochnaya) - units are located within the wall of the uterus;
• submucous (submucosal) fibroids - node is on the inside of the uterus under the mucous membrane and grows into the uterine cavity.

Clinical manifestations

Because of their small size fibromatosis of the uterus is usually asymptomatic or slightly expressed clinic. However, in some cases, especially with the progression of the disease and its transition to the stage of fibroids, symptoms of the disease are expressed and plentiful.

• pain is aching or pulling character, its localization in the abdomen or lower back. In complicated cases, such as the birth of submucosal node becomes a cramping pain (as in abortion);
• menstrual disorder characterized by an increase in the duration of menstruation, increase the volume of blood loss and the occurrence of intermenstrual bleeding;
• menses are painful;
• dyspareunia - pain during sexual intercourse;
• anemia (brittle hair, exfoliating nails, dry skin) as a result of menstrual irregularities;
• disruption of the pelvic - urinary incontinence and constipation (due to compression of the bladder and bowel enlarged uterus);
• infertility and miscarriage Miscarriage - why you lose the most precious thing? ;
• complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.

Diagnosis of uterine fibromatosis

• gynecological examination;
• Pelvic ultrasound (fibromatosis identify and determine the size of the nodes, and comorbidities);
• hysteroscopy;
• laparoscopy;
• determining the level of hormone needed.

Treatment

In the absence of complaints and asymptomatic uterine fibromatosis special treatment is required. Recommended dynamic observation by a doctor (every three months), and an annual pelvic ultrasound. Appointed by the B vitamins, vitamins E, C and A as antioxidants Antioxidants: the truth about the notorious benefits . With the diagnosis of fibromatosis of the uterus shows renounce visiting saunas Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures   Saunas do not sunbathe.
