What To Do If You Have Subserosal Fibroid

subserosal fundal fibroid

Do you have a subserosal fibroid?  Subserosal fibroids are those that grow on the outside of the uterus, and cause the uterus to appear larger than it is.

They usually develop during menstruation, because this is the time when their blood supply to the uterus is highest.The blood provides the subserous fibroids nutrition and oxygen, which accelerates their growth.

Subserous fibroids can grow very big, and can even grow as big as the size of a six month pregnancy.  They can cause a feeling of bulkiness and constant discomfort.

They may also produce pain in seemingly irrelevant areas of the body such as the lower back or behind the legs because they can affect the sensory nerves attached to these areas of the body.

Other symptoms of subserosal fibroids include abdominal bloating, especially during menstruation, as well as looking pregnant due to the bulky fibroid.

Because of their size and location, they can put pressure on other organs, including the colon, causing difficulty in moving the bowels, and the bladder, causing incontinence or difficulty in urinating.They can even impair the tubes that join the bladder with the kidneys, and harm the kidneys. This is the reason why doctors will oftentimes advise surgery to prevent subserous fibroids from causing more harm to your body.

Although a surgical operation can produce quick results, there are risks.Laparascopic myomectomies for instance, may cause irreversible damage to the blood vessels or the intestines.They may also leave scars and cause adhesions, which may affect normal digestion as well as your fertility.

Uterine Artery Embolization causes tissue death, and this can promote serious infection in the uterus that may spread to other areas of the body.A lot of pain will be experienced while the tissue is dying, and a very unpleasant vaginal odor will be caused by the dead tissue.

The risks and side effects of surgery can be severe and life-threatening, so many women are turning to natural alternatives, which give gradual results, but do not carry any risks.  You can find out more about these natural remedies for subserosal fibroids at http://www.fibroidsetc.com/subserosal-fibroids/
