What to do if hip fibroids swell

Gluteal fibroma is a fibromatosis that occurs in the buttocks. Gluteal fibroma is a soft tissue tumor that exists between malignant tumors and benign tumors. It often occurs in the connective tissue of the muscle. Gluteal fibroma has the possibility of malignant transformation. The enlargement of fibroma is most likely caused by trauma, but it is also a sign of malignant transformation. The following is a detailed introduction to this type of disease.

Fibroids can occur in any age group, including the elderly and children. The disease can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly in the limbs and abdomen. Buttock fibroids are a rare disease. Fibroids are relatively hidden and have no symptoms in the early stages. Most of the time, patients discover them accidentally. The disease can progress. When pain, numbness, or even movement problems occur in the affected area, medical attention must be sought. There are several main treatments for buttock fibroids.

1. Surgical treatment

Surgery is the first choice, and the surgical method will be selected according to the patient's condition. The methods include intratumoral resection, tumor resection and radical tumor resection. However, this method is still limited. The location and size of the tumor are all factors that affect the operation. This method is not perfect either. Some surgeries will remove part of the patient's tissue, which will reduce the patient's quality of life after tissue resection.

2. Targeted therapy

This is an emerging method. With the development of molecular science, we can find the pathogenic target and provide targeted treatment when treating diseases. However, this type of treatment is generally expensive, so few people choose this method.

3. Radiation therapy

This is a treatment method widely used in clinical practice. Because fibroids are prone to recurrence, radiation is used to help eliminate tumor cells. Some patients who have undergone surgery will also choose to use it to avoid recurrence.

The above three are the treatments for gluteal fibroma. Patients can choose the appropriate treatment method according to their own situation. It should be noted that this type of disease is very easy to recur, so special attention should be paid to postoperative maintenance. In daily life, if an unknown tumor is found on the body, it must be treated in time to avoid malignant changes.
