Several common methods of examining fibroids

Fibroma is a relatively common disease. I think everyone should be familiar with it. However, when determining whether you are sick, do not easily draw conclusions based on symptoms alone. You should determine your disease through scientific examination methods. Here are several common methods for examining fibroids.

Fibroids are benign tumors composed of fibrous connective tissue. They can be seen in all parts of the body, in varying sizes, with a smooth surface or head-shaped, and can be pushed freely. They can also be seen with pedicles, which can increase to several kilograms, are mostly loose and hanging, soft to the touch, and have pigmentation. According to its tissue composition and properties, there are two special types: soft and hard. Soft fibroma, also known as skin tag, is often seen on the face, neck, chest and back. It has a pedicle, varies in size, is soft and elastic. Hard fibroma is more common in women aged 20-40, and is more common in the abdominal wall. It is a hard, painless, non-mobile tumor with unclear boundaries from the surrounding tissues, grows slowly, has no capsule and grows in an infiltrative manner. It is easy to recur after resection and can become malignant. Pathological sections can determine the nature of the tumor.

Fibroids with more fiber components are hard (hard fibroids) and with less fiber components and more cell components are soft (soft fibroids). They develop slowly, do not metastasize, and are benign. However, in rare cases, the cells appear immature and become fibrosarcomas. The most common sites are the skin, mucous membranes, kidneys, ovaries, breasts, etc. Keloids that occur in burn scars are considered by some to be a type of fibroid, but some scholars have doubts about this.

Tumors can occur in various parts of the body, with different sizes, smooth surface, and can be moved freely. Fibromas can be divided into soft and hard types. Soft fibromas are skin tags, with pedicles, soft, and mostly occur on the face, neck, chest and back.

There are several ways to check for fibroids:

1. Physical examination: The lumps are mostly in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, mostly single, but multiple lumps may appear simultaneously or successively in one or both breasts. They are round or oval, with a smooth surface, clear boundaries, hard texture, and can be pushed. They are not adhered to the skin and deep tissues. They grow slowly and can increase rapidly during pregnancy. Axillary lymph nodes are not enlarged.

2. X-ray mammography: The edge of the mass is clear and smooth, and the mass appears evenly.

3. Biopsy: The fibroid is covered with a capsule and is hard in texture. The cut surface is grayish white and shiny, and many irregularly arranged cracks can be seen with the naked eye.
