Essential facts uterine fibroid and hysterectomy: Essential facts: Natural treatments to uterine fibroid and hysterectomy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721070534)

Fibroid tumors are so common that as many as three out of four women will develop them, although not all will require treatment. The location of the tumor will influence the type of symptoms you will experience. A sub-mucosal fibroid tumor is located in the inner cavity of the uterus. These tumors are thought to be responsible for heavy bleeding during periods. Sometimes the bleeding can become so heavy that a woman will become anemic. These tumors are benign and almost never grow or change into cancer. The symptoms, for those women who do experience them, can be debilitating and life altering. Women who experience symptoms from uterine fibroids may suffer from heavy bleeding, decreased bladder capacity, anemia and back pain or pelvic heaviness.Treatment options include both those which are surgical and those which are less invasive. At this time the only curative treatment for fibroids is a hysterectomy, because even if the fibroids are removed from the uterus to maintain fertility, these women have a higher incidence of recurrence several years later. Fortunately, many women under the age of 45 are able to keep their ovaries, which prevents the immediate effect of menopause.
