Can a fibroid look like a dead fetus?
No, a fibroid is a noncancerous growth in the uterus and does not resemble a fetus. A fibroid typically appears as a solid, firm mass, whereas a fetus has a distinct human-like shape with features such as limbs, a head, and a body. If you have concerns about growths in your uterus, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.
What is the difference between uterine polyp and uterine fibroid?
A cyst is usually a small benign sac filled with a fluid of some sort depending upon the type of cyst. Fibromas (or fibroid tumors or fibroids) are benign tumors that are composed of fibrous or connective tissue. They can grow in all organs, arising from mesenchyme tissue. Cysts usually hurt when they become irritated, but fibroids can hurt at any time because they are kind of like a connective scar tissue that pulls on the various things it is connected to. People with fibromyalgia can have fibroid or non-fibroid fibromyalgia. Both have pain whether there are fibroids present or not. Fibromyalgia is an auto-immune disorder that comes from being methionine and B-vitamin deficient. But one might have fibroids and NOT have fibromyalgia.
What is focal myometrial mass?
A focal myometrial mass is a localized growth or abnormality within the muscular wall of the uterus. It can be benign, such as a fibroid, or more concerning, such as a uterine sarcoma. Further evaluation with imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI may be needed to determine the nature of the mass.
What are the necessary Treatments for myoma?
A myoma is also known as a fibroid that occurs in the uterus of a woman. It is a benign growth that does not usually require treatment unless it causes symptoms such as heavy and prolonged menstrual periods or pelvic pain. The necessary treatments for myoma, when required, include laser treatment, a myomectomy or a hysterectomy.

What does 4.5 centimeters of fibroid look like?
Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic tumor.The cause of uterine fibroid tumors is unknown. Oral contraceptives and pregnancy lower the risk of developing new fibroid tumors.Fibroids may be present in 15 - 20% of women in their reproductive years -- the time after starting menstruation for the first time and before menopause. Fibroids may affect 30 - 40% of women over age 30. Fibroids occur 2 to 3 times more frequently in African-American women than in Caucasian women.The growth of a fibroid seems to depend on the hormone estrogen. As long as a woman with fibroids is menstruating, the fibroids will probably continue to grow, usually slowly.Fibroids rarely affect females younger than 20 or who are postmenopausal.Fibroids begin as small seedlings that spread throughout the muscular walls of the uterus. They can be so tiny that you need a microscope to see them. However, they can also grow very big. They may fill the entire uterus, and may weigh several pounds. Although it is possible for just one fibroid to develop, usually there is more than one.Sometimes, a fibroid hangs from a long stalk, which is attached to the outside of the uterus. Such a fibroid is called a pedunculated fibroid. It can become twisted and cause a kink in blood vessels feeding the tumor. This type of fibroid may require surgery.SymptomsSensation of fullness or pressure in lower abdomenPelvic cramping or pain with periodsAbdominal fullness, gasIncrease in urinary frequencyHeavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), sometimes with the passage of blood clotsSudden, severe pain due to a pedunculated fibroid, incidence, and risk factors
What is a fibroid densities?
Fibroid densities refer to the presence of fibroids in the uterus. Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and their densities can vary depending on their size and location within the uterus. Fibroid densities can be detected through imaging studies like ultrasounds or MRI scans.
How do you treat fibroid tumors?
Fibroids are nothing serious. They do not cancer ( only 1% do, so it's closer to zero). Do not let them take out your uterus... What to do: - Go to your gynecology and request a test. He/She will also order an ultrasound to see the location and size of the fibroid(s). - Also ask him to have your hormones tested ( a blood test) - DO NOT get convince into getting a hysterectomy. The risk of getting cancer is only 1%. The consequences of hysterectomy are huge ( your whole body will be affected and every day more negative effects of not having the uterus are being discovered) - The doctor may offer you drugs that will put you in menopause for 3 months and shrink the fibroid temporary. Then they will do a surgery to remove them or use any other treatment.... think about the consequences and take a smart decision. You can also start doing natural remedies. I know of many women who have cure themselves of fibroids. You need to lower your estrogen and raise the progesterone. Start by buying a progesterone cream ( In amazon they sell Emerita Pro-Gest Natural Progesterone Cream made of Mexican yam) , stop eating dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, all of them) , stop eating meat and reduce chicken. If you can afford eat only organic food. Estrogen are found in almost all processed food so if it comes in a package, try to avoid it. Also avoid food that are in plastic containers ( bottle of water, etc). Do not use plastics in the microwave... You need to take super hot bath for 15 minutes ( the hotter you can stand) in a bath at least 3 times a week before going to sleep. Only your body no the head. Try to relax and get in peace with yourself also... yoga is good. You will see results in months. If you can find a naturopathic doctors is even better.
What does uterine stretching feel like in early pregnancy?
Uterine streching can feel as though you are having menustral cramps.
When having a heavy menstrual period does it mean the fibroid is passing?
A fibroid is an abnormal finger-like growth of part of the uterine wall, and often develop after having children. The uterine wall is generally fairl smooth, but a fibroid makes the wall "lumpy" with finger-like protrusions. Fiboids have many small blood vessels and fiboids bleed easily, resulting in heavier periods. Fibroids do NOT detach or "pass" during menstruation. In fact, during the cycle, fiboids swell and can cause pelvic discomfort and heavy bleedling. The only way to get rid of fiboids is through medical treatment or surgery. Unfortunately, most doctors prefer hysterectomy as the preferred 'treatment', resulting in the uterus being removed. But, a newer and much less-used treatment is to shrink the fiboids using medication injected into the tissue. If you have heavy bleeding / or clotting, check with your physician. Make sure to be checked for anemia since fibroids do cause heavier blood loss and sometimes very long periods (example: for weeks at a time).
The funnel-like opening at the distal end of the uterine tube is called the?
The funnel-like opening at the distal end of the uterine tube is called the infundibulum. It has finger-like projections called fimbriae that help capture the egg released from the ovary during ovulation and direct it into the uterine tube for fertilization.
If you bleed during sex while trying for a baby what can this mean?
There can be many different causes why you bleed:# Cervical dysplasia: Cervical dysplasia is precancerous changes of the epithelial cells that line the cervix. Risk increases with multiple sexual partners, sex before age 18, childbirth before age 16, or a past history of STDs. Treatment is usually cryosurgery or conisation. # Chlamydia: A bacterial infection that is usually transmitted through sexual activity or contact with semen, vaginal fluid, or blood. # Gonorrhea: A usually sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacteria. Several pharmaceutical treatments are available. # Vaginitis or Cervicitis: Inflammation or swelling and infection of the vagina or cervix. Treatment depends on the cause. # Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps are smooth, red or purple, finger-like growths that grow out of the mucus layer of the cervix or the cervical canal. Cervical polyps are extremely fragile, extending out of the cervix, and easily and painlessly removed. # Trichomoniasis: A usually sexually transmitted disease caused by protozoan. Can also be passed to newborns during vaginal birth by infected mothers. Although rare, transmission is also possible in tap water, hot tubs, urine, on toilet seats, and in swimming pools. May cause vaginitis. # Vaginal Yeast Infection: An overgrowth of the normal fungi that inhabits the vaginal area. Common symptoms include itching, burning, and an odorless, white, cheese-like discharge. # Endometritis or adenomyosis: Endometritis is defined by Dorland's Medical Dictionary, 27th Edition as an inflammation of the endometrium (the innermost layer of the uterus). Both conditions are associated with endometriosis. Adenomysis is when endometrial tissue attaches itself to the uterus, or another organ such as the ovaries, and grows outside of the uterus. # Uterine polyps: Uterine polyps occur when the endometrium overgrows causing these protrusions into the uterus. It is extremely rare for these growths to grow in a way that is either benign or malignant. Women with uterine polyps frequently experience bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia), other symptoms includes vaginal bleeding after sex, spotting, menorrhagia, bleeding after menopause, and breakthrough bleeding during hormone therapy. Hysteroscopic-guided curettage is the preferred treatment, since the normal D&C is basically an unguided procedure that may miss many of the uterine polyps. # Fibroid tumors: Uterine fibroid tumors are usually benign tumors. They are solid masses made of fibrous tissue. Fibroid tumors are rarely malignant. Symptoms of fibroid tumors vary among women, with some women never experiencing any symptoms at all. Women who can wait until menopause will see their fibroids shrink and disappear once their bodies stop producing estrogen. It's important that women with fibroids make sure they never take estrogen, in any form including birth control pills, since estrogen increases fibroid growth. Several treatments are currently available for uterine fibroid tumors from myomectomy and uterine artery embolization to the traditional hysterectomy.
