More and more often women cancel reproduction in the third and fourth decade, thus the question of the possible influence of fibroids on sterility becomes more and more relevant. Dr. Klementina Kuzeska, gynecologist-obstetrician, explains that in patients who have fibroids and at the same time have problems with sterility, the most important thing is to determine the location, size and number of fibroids and their relationship to the uterine cavity. WHAT IS A MYOMIA OF THE UTERUS? Myomas are benign tumors of the uterus that originate from the cells of the muscular layer and grow in the wall, towards the uterine cavity or outward. Fibroids appear in the reproductive period in 25 percent of patients, while in the older population this percentage is increased. Most fibroids are symptomless.
WHY DO THEY APPEAR? The true cause of fibroids still remains unknown. Genetic factors and hormones are thought to influence their occurrence. According to gynecologists, this disease occurs more often in patients who have a family history of the same problem. HOW IS MYOMIA DIAGNOSED? The gold standard in the diagnosis of the largest number of myomas is vaginal echo Seychelles Email List examination. Sometimes it is difficult to determine to what extent the myoma deforms the uterine cavity, therefore it is necessary to apply additional examinations. Hysterosonogram - this examination is performed with the application of liquid contrast, which fills the uterine cavity and shows the outline of the myoma.
Hysterosalpinogram - is the method of examination where radioactive contrast is used to mark the defects that myoma causes inside the uterus. Hysteroscopy - the method by which the overall view of all deformations of the uterine cavity is obtained MRI – This examination is very rarely used to determine the size and location of fibroids. This can affect the diagnosis of adenomyoma, which, unlike fibroids, is not treated with surgery. DOES UTERINE MYOMA AFFECT FERTILITY? Fibroids are present in 5-10 percent of patients with sterility, while a small part of them can be an obstacle to fertility. Doctors think that fibroids should not always be emphasized as the main cause of infertility, until other possible causes are excluded. Fibroids can cause infertility depending on their size and location.
