THE EVIL OF FIBROIDSHi all, This is Victor, I am a Consultant Clinical Specialist Radiographer [ultrasound], with over 15 years experience since qualifying, I worked as a sonographer in Nigeria for over 14 years, currently live and work in the Republic of Ireland [though temporarily] as a sonographerI have decided to start writing in my blogs to communicate with my community. Where we can share experiences and interact better on different issues, not just doctors, but general issues.I know that many of my colleagues are on my page, so I will not shoot out of line, because you're always there to put me straight and correct me always. Remember that no man is an island. I also could give the wrong information by mistake, so we can work together to give the correct information for the topic today is world.My online community generally, but especially for the online community of Nigeria, because this is an issue that seriously.Today'll affect us writing about fibroids. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow from the muscular layers of the matrix. They are the most common benign tumors in women, often asymptomatic, which causes symptoms in about 25% of whites and 50% of black women.Fibroids are named according to where they are. There are four types [1] intramural fibroids are found in the lining of the uterus and are the most common type of fibroids. [2] subserosal fibroids are increasingly beyond the walls of the uterus and can become very large. You can also grow on stalks [pendunculata called fibroids] [3] submucous fibroids found in the muscle underneath the inner lining of the uterus walls [4] Cervical Fibroids are found in the walls of the cervix [neck of the womb]. In rare cases, fibroids can turn cancerousSYMPTOMSSymptoms refer to the location of the fibroids and their size. The symptoms include abnormal gynecologic hemorrhage [bleeding], heavy and / or periods of pain, abdominal discomfort or bloating, back pain, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases of infertility. You can also have pain during intercourse, depending on location fibroids.During pregnancy may be the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, preterm labor, or interference with the position of the fetus.DIAGNOSISDiagnosis is usually accomplished by bimanual examination, best yet gynecological [ultrasonography SCAN], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and laparoscopy. Fibroids can also be diagnosed during HSG examination.TREATMENTS [1] Surgery [a] hysteroscopic myomectomy [b] laparoscopic myomectomy [c] laparotomic myomectomy [2]. Uterine artery embolization [UAE] [3] Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound [HIFU] Fibroids are very serious issues in Nigeria, where he practiced for over 14 years. Fibroids are becoming a real problem in Nigeria after the death of the popular MEEDamijan sneer of postoperative complications in 1996 removal of fibroids. I was a very young sonographer at the time and I witnessed thousands of women and to this day fibroids is still a great issue.I must be opportune to have traveled to 4 continents in the world [Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Europe] and worked in Africa and Europe as a specialist sonographer, fibroids remains a problem is much stronger in Africa. It is also big business, a good salary for the surgeon and the money is also good for traditional healers.I have no problems with traditional healers and practitioners of alternative medicine, but what I think is that some of them should give a patients.I truthful information to have attended so many women in Nigeria who have visited some of these alternative medicine practitioners who claimed to be able to give you a little mix that make these women to excrete fibroids, to me this is not is just, for years I have followed these women and I must confess that I received a call cure.I'm not against anyone taking any form of healing you want whether orthodox or traditional, but safety must come first, the NAFDAC should confirm that these are safe for human consumption.I draft also noticed that some of the mixture given to these women with fibroids and infertility problems are the same as used in women with infertility problems in general. Of the numerous scans I did on this subject in Nigeria, I realized that your ovaries produce multiple mature follicles than usual, demonstrating that these drugs contain some natural hormonal substances that stimulate the ovaries and to help infertile women to get pregnant . If these drugs are focus on women with fibroids, they could lead to an increase in the size of fibroids. Although these women are looking to reduce the size of the fibroids, the mixture given size increases [Please be careful]. This mixture is also known to lead to kidney failure.I clearly wants to advise that all women with fibroids do not get stressed, if there danger signs, be relaxed, do not go running up and down and get a patient is duped.If infertility with known fibroids, dont always assume that the fibroids are the problem, test the box to the fallopian tubes, ovarian function, sperm tests, etc. [Ask your gynecologist for more information]. If you have excessive bleeding or large fibroids are very sure to consult your doctor, surgery is better in this case because fibroids can distort or compress the ureters and renal problems.I especially wants to talk to the consultant radiologists in Nigeria, uterine artery embolization [UAE] is relatively inexpensive and very effective treatment for fibroids. You only need one unit of Xray fluoroscopy, which is available in some centers Nigeria.I have known women in Nigeria, who paid as much as for traditional healing N200000 of fibroids and who are not receiving arterial embolization is results.Uterine known to have worked, I have attended some women in Europe who have done and seen the masses of the fibroids shrink, saving the hassle of women surgery.I radiologists recommend that Nigeria should come to Europe and learn these skills, Nigerian women need to be saved from unnecessary surgery complication, and consumption of mixtures of some healers strange strange.
