FIBROIDS

Fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that develop from the muscle of the womb and may vary in size and position within the womb.

Fibroids are very common: 20-50% of women over the age of 30 years may have one or more. Fibroids do not always cause problems and many women may never even know they have them. Fibroids may be often found by chance when other symptoms are being investigated.

POSITION OF FIBROID

  • Subserosal-grow towards the outer surface of thewomb
  • Intramural-within the muscle wall
  • Submucosal-grow inwards towards the cavity

SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH FIBROIDS

  • Heavy periods
  • Painful periods
  • Tummy or lower back pain
  • Pressure symptoms on your bladder or bowel making you feel that you need to go to the toilet often
  • Constipation
  • Difficulty in getting pregnant
  • Miscarriages
  • Iron deficiency anaemia

Large fibroids, or those that are mostly on the outer surface of the womb (subserous fibroids) are more likely to cause pressure symptoms.

Fibroids that mostly face inwards (submucous) are more likely to cause heavy periods and may cause fertility problems.

Fibroids can also be associated with risks in pregnancy including miscarriage, premature labour and an increased risk of a Caesarean section delivery due to the baby lying in an unconventional position e.g. bottom first or obliquely. There is also a higher risk of heavy bleeding during pregnancy and after the baby has delivered.

Medical treatments for fibroids

These are usually recommended:

  • If your symptoms are mild
  • If surgery is not safe enough or appropriate for you
  • If you are approaching your menopause when your periods will stop and the fibroids will shrink
  • To improve your iron levels
Mefenamic acid and tranexamic acid

Mefenamic acid tablets can provide pain relief due to cramps and tranexamic acid tablets help to reduce the blood loss. They need to be taken with each monthly bleed.

Hormonal medication These methods are not suitable if you are actively trying to get pregnant, but can be used temporarily while planning fertility treatments or before surgery.

1.Combined oral contraceptive pill :

This pill acts on the lining of the womb and may help to reduce the heavy bleeding that fibroids can cause, and may also prevent the fibroids from getting bigger.

2.Progestins

Progestins are synthetic versions of the hormone progesterone and can help by reducing menstrual blood loss, preventing the fibroids from getting bigger as well as helping them to shrink. Progestins can be taken in the form of an oral pill or an intrauterine coil system called the Mirena.

3.GnRH analogue or depot inj

This medication brings on a temporary menopause which can help to shrink the size of the fibroids and stop the periods. This medication is also sometimes prescribed before fibroid removal surgery to reduce the blood loss during the operation. Side-effects such as hot flushes, difficulty sleeping, dryness in the vaginal area, and also bone loss (early osteoporosis) maybe noticed. They are not recommended indefinitely and usually need to be stopped after about six months.

4.Ullipristal acetate

is a daily tablet taken by mouth for three months at a time (one course). It is an anti-progesterone hormone medicine that can stop fibroid cells from dividing. Eventually the cells die and the fibroid shrinks. Period bleeding should reduce by 90% during the treatment course, which is similar to GnRH analogue treatment. it does not produce menopausal side-effects. It can be used before surgery as a single course or repeatedly for women for whom surgery is not suitable. It must not be used by women with liver problems. In some women the womb lining can thicken abnormally but this usually disappears when the treatment ends. Both liver tests and womb lining checks are done for all patients on Esmya.

SURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR FIBROIDS

There are 2 options

1. Myomectomy or removalof fibroid

2. Hysterectomy or removal of womb.

1. A myomectomy is an operation to remove fibroids, whilst retaining the womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Whether a myomectomy is the best choice or not for you depends upon your age, the need to preserve fertility, the size, number and positions of your fibroids. Myomectomy is mostly recommended for women who wish to retain their fertility.

2. Hysterectomy, which involves removal of the womb and all the fibroids in it. A hysterectomy may be recommended for women who have completed their family and no longer wish to try to get pregnant, if they have large fibroids and want a permanent solution. This is guaranteed to stop period bleeding and is a good way of relieving pressure off the bladder.
