เนื้องอกในมดลูก สาเหตุ อาการ และการรักษา

<h2>Uterine Fibroids</h2>
Uterine fibroids result from the abnormal growth of muscle cells in the uterus. They can develop outside the uterine wall, within the uterine tissue, or inside the uterine cavity. There are two types of fibroids: benign fibroids and cancerous fibroids. However, the majority of uterine fibroids are benign.
&nbsp;
<h2>Causes of Uterine Fibroids</h2>
The exact cause of uterine fibroids remains unknown. However, studies indicate that their development is associated with estrogen, a hormone produced by the ovaries. As a result, fibroids are most commonly found in women of reproductive age (20-50 years old). These fibroids tend to shrink after menopause due to decreased estrogen levels.
&nbsp;
<h2>Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids</h2>
The symptoms vary depending on the size of the fibroid and its location, particularly if it compresses nearby organs. Common symptoms include:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Pelvic pain or severe menstrual cramps 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Heavy menstrual bleeding during periods 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Frequent urination 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Constipation 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Difficulty conceiving or recurrent miscarriages 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A palpable lump in the abdomen
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Diagnosis by a Doctor</h2>
Doctors diagnose uterine fibroids using the following methods:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reviewing medical history and symptoms 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Performing a pelvic examination 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Conducting an ultrasound scan
</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<h2>Treatment of Uterine Fibroids</h2>
Treatment depends on the size of the fibroid and whether the patient wishes to have children. Options include:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Pain medication: Used for small fibroids to relieve symptoms 
</li>
<li>Surgical removal: This can involve:
<ul>
<li>Abdominal surgery: A traditional open surgery 
</li>
<li>Laparoscopic surgery: A minimally invasive technique with small incisions 
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Note:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Complete removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) ensures permanent treatment and is suitable for women who no longer wish to have children or older patients. 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Myomectomy (fibroid removal while preserving the uterus) carries a risk of fibroids recurring in the future. 
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Prevention of Uterine Fibroids</h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Avoid contraceptive pills with high estrogen levels 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Monitor for any unusual symptoms and consult a doctor if needed 
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Get annual health check-ups, including pelvic exams and ultrasound scans of the uterus</li>
</ul>
