Uterine Fibroids Treatment Cost in India

Fibroids are benign (noncancerous) growths in the wall of the uterus. The uterus is the organ where a fetus grows during pregnancy.

Fibroids are common. They may be very small or they could grow to eight or more inches in diameter. Most fibroids remain inside the uterus. In rare cases, they may stick out and affect nearby organs. It is common for there to be more than one fibroid.

का कारण बनता है

The cause of fibroids is unknown.

Fibroid growth is stimulated by female reproductive hormones. As a result:

  • Fibroids grow larger during pregnancy then shrink after childbirth.
  • Fibroids become less of a problem after menopause. However, symptoms may return with hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Genetics may make some women more prone to fibroids. Substances that control blood vessel growth may also affect fibroid growth.

जोखिम कारक

Certain factors affect your risk of fibroids, for example:

  • Risk increase with age until menopause
  • African American women have increased risk of fibroids
  • परिवार के इतिहास

Obesity and high blood pressure may also be linked to fibroids.

उपचार

Most women with fibroids have no symptoms and do not need treatment. Your doctor may recommend “watchful waiting”. During this period your doctor will monitor any changes on a regular basis. Treatment may be done later if needed.

उपचार में शामिल हैं:

Pain Medication

आपका डॉक्टर सुझा सकता है:

  • Over-the-counter pain relievers to ease mild symptoms
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation and relieve cramping
  • Prescription pain medicine—If pain cannot be managed with medications above

हार्मोनल थेरेपी

Hormone medicines may be an option if you are not trying to become pregnant. These drugs can shrink fibroids and lessen pain. However, fibroids can return once you stop taking the drugs. These drugs may be used to make fibroids smaller just before surgery.

प्रक्रियाओं

Surgery may be considered if:

  • The uterus becomes extremely large
  • The fibroids are interfering with fertility
  • Symptoms are severe

सर्जिकल प्रक्रियाओं में शामिल हैं:

  • Myomectomy—An incision is made in the abdomen. The fibroids are removed from the uterus.
  • Hysterectomy—The entire uterus is removed. You will be unable to have children if you have this surgery.

Other options include:

  • Uterine fibroid ablation—This is a minimally invasive procedure. It blocks blood flow to the fibroids. This will make the fibroids shrink.
  • Focused ultrasound therapy—Energy is centered on the fibroid to destroy it. This procedure may not be ideal for patients who are very overweight, have very large fibroids, or have extensive scars from prior abdominal surgeries.

If you are diagnosed with uterine fibroids, follow your doctor’s instructions.

रोकथाम

There are no guidelines for preventing fibroids.
