An intramural fibroid develops in the center of the uterine wall. Intramural fibroids make the uterus seem larger in size and the woman may be pregnant or have a round stomach that can not get rid of by going on a diet or exercise. br The growth of the fibroid exerts pressure on neighboring organs cause severe menstrual bleeding / clotting, painful menstrual cycles straight with pelvic pain. Bulky feeling, constipation, frequent urination (or lack thereof) and bladder and bowel problems are among the other common symptoms associated. br According to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, the number of women with intramural fibroids in pregnancy was 11% lower compared with those with submucosal fibroids. Moreover, women with intramural fibroids had 58% more miscarriages and ran a higher risk of Caesarean section and preterm births. br University of Valencia, a Spanish university ruled out any relationship between the chances of pregnancy, in women undergoing in vitro fertilization, and intramural fibroids. Baskent University, Turkey, however, felt that IVF drugs, used to trigger ovulation, increasing the size of intramural fibroids. br The abdominal myomectomy, used to treat intramural fibroids, it is especially important when one of the fibroids are more than five centimeters, or when multiple fibroids must be removed. br In abdominal myomectomy, the fibroids are cut out surgically making an incision in the abdomen. In the previous method, the surgeon cut the fibroid uterus pulling through the opening in the cut. After repairing the uterus with sutures, the uterus is put back into its original place. Like all other surgeries, there is the possibility of bleeding and infection. We must be aware of the link and scar tissue. In some cases scar tissue organs bonds, which can create problems block the fallopian tubes. br An alternative to this is the uterine fibroid embolization, a surgical procedure in which blood supply to the fibroids is blocked so that the tissue dies from lack of blood, oxygen and nutrients. br The investigation was conducted by Leeds Teaching Hospital, 10 women with intramural fibroids of 11 cm in size. All had undergone surgery for uterine artery embolization. A followup by physicians after 12 and 36 months showed them that most of the symptoms women's established, except two who were still feeling bulky, and two needed further surgery because it has damaged the kidneys. One patient required hysterectomy after a period of 7 months. The conclusion of the doctors stated that uterine artery embolization is a safe method. But if you have a look at the statistics in the reports, one report indicates 20% of women require additional surgery, another 30% reported the same symptoms return within five years. br Heavy vaginal bleeding is a problem in making uterine artery embolization. A study was conducted by McGill University in Canada, two women who had abnormal bleeding, even after surgery for intramural fibroids. Report of an endometrial biopsy showed that both women had fibroids necrotic (this occurs in dead tissue due to lack of blood supply). br After a short time during biopsy, septic formed in the uterus, so women who needed a hysterectomy. Since the report of the biopsy, the doctor concluded that uterine artery embolization, when it becomes a woman, has a high probability of becoming infected if their intramural fibroids appear closer to the walls of the uterus. It is desirable that the dead tissues more easily attract bacteria. br For those not interested in risk procedures, surgery or hysterectomy, consider reading about natural and alternative resources for their intramural fibroids.
