Fibroids are benign tumors that grow on or in the muscular walls of the uterus. Some fibroid tumors don’t produce any symptoms at all, while others can be severely symptomatic. It is common for a woman to have multiple fibroid tumors and it may be difficult to understand which fibroid is causing specific symptoms. The best fibroid doctors and top specialists in NYC who are part of the fibroid treatment center VIVA EVE, work alongside interventional radiologists to determine the best course of treatment for each individual patient.
The most common fibroid symptoms include:
- Pain
- Severe menstrual cramps
- Abdominal pressure
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Frequent and incomplete urination
- Constipation
- Painful sex
The living tissue of the fibroid needs oxygen and nutrients to grow and repair itself, just like other cells in your body. When the fibroids grow too large or too quickly, the blood vessels supplying the fibroids are no longer able to provide enough sustenance to meet the needs of the fibroid. When this happens, the cells of the fibroid begin to die, causing severe pain and abdominal discomfort. This process is called degeneration.
Possible Complications of Fibroid Degeneration
When a fibroid outgrows its blood supply, it can produce the symptoms of severe pain and discomfort. The fibroid is dying, but it can be a very slow death and the fibroid can actually "degenerate" several times and still not go away completely. In some patients the artery carrying blood and nutrients only gets partially blocked. This may bring on fibroid degeneration to just part of the growth, while the reduced flow of blood still keeps the rest of the fibroid nourished. This partial degradation prolongs the degeneration process.
Untreated, fibroid degeneration can lead to:
- Severe pain
- Spontaneous rupture
- Infertility
- Abdominal bleeding
- Cancer
- Uterine damage
