Are fibroids harmful?

Is fibroid very harmful? This is a question that fibroid patients are more concerned about. As we all know, any disease will cause more or less harm to the body. Although fibroid is a benign tumor, it cannot avoid the occurrence of harm. Today we will take a look at what consequences fibroids will cause.

Are fibroids serious? Take a look at the symptoms of fibroids and you will know!

1. The tumor is located in deep tissue, with no obvious symptoms or slight discomfort, and grows slowly.

2. The shape is irregular or oval, and its long diameter is consistent with the direction of the affected muscle fibers.

3. The size of the tumor is related to the duration of the disease, and its diameter ranges from several centimeters to more than ten centimeters.

4. The tumor has unclear perimeter, smooth surface, no tenderness, and is tough like rubber. It is relatively fixed longitudinally to the invaded muscle, but can move slightly laterally, and has no adhesion to the skin. Huge tumors can affect movement and compress nerves.

Fibroids are often found under the skin, grow slowly, are generally small, have clear edges, smooth surfaces, are hard in texture, and can be pushed. If mixed with other components, they become fibromyomas, fibroadenomas, fibrolipomas, etc. Fibroids, especially desmoids in the abdominal wall muscles, can become malignant and should be completely removed as soon as possible. Fibromatosis is a fibrous tissue tumor rich in collagen that originates from muscles, aponeurosis, and fascia. Pathological formation is benign or low-grade malignancy. However, the tumor has no capsule, grows invasively, and has obvious malignant biological behavior, that is, stubborn and recurring many times, but rarely metastasizes to distant places. The recurrence rate is 25% to 57%. The recurrence time is mostly 1 month to 1 year after surgery, and can even reach more than 10 years, so this type of tumor is also called invasive fibromatosis. Multiple recurrences can cause the lesions to involve a wider range of areas, and uncontrollable growth will occur, invading important organs and endangering life.

The cause of fibroids may be caused by excessive hormone secretion. Pay attention to nutritional intake, maintain good sleep and mentality, pay attention to changes in the body, and go to the hospital for examination in time if there is any abnormality. Surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Dear patients with fibroids, please pay more attention to them and be sure to be informed that you have fibroids. I hope everyone can take it seriously and treat it positively.
