UTERINE FIBROID
"The Uninvited Houseguest"
Did you know that 1 out of every 2 women has fibroid???....
Are you tired of feeling like your uterus is hosting a never-ending sleepover?
Do you wonder why your periods are like a never-ending horror movie?
Well, you might just have some uninvited houseguests - uterine fibroids!
These pesky growths are like that one aunt who just won't leave. They show up unannounced, overstay their welcome, and make a mess of your life. But don't worry, we've got some facts to help you cope with these unwelcome visitors.
Symptoms:
Mostly without symptoms however some may come with;
1. Heavy bleeding (like your uterus is trying to win a nobel prize for the most dramatic exit)
2. Delay conception (This depends on the location of the fibroid)
Others are non specific like,
3. Bloating (your uterus is just trying to get puffy, like a pillow)
4. Pelvic pain (your uterus is playing a game of "Twister" with your organs)
Treatment options:
Depends on site, size and presence of symptoms like heavy me**es and delay conception
- Surgery "effects cure" (evicting the unwanted house guests so the baby can comfortably sleep on her bed)
- other treatment options are tailored towards symptoms and not aimed at effecting cure like reducing the heavy flow and correcting low blood volume
NB: There is no drug that cures fibroid.
So, if you're feeling like your uterus has turned into a fibroid-friendly home, remember: you're not alone!
Stay strong, sisters!.. Get that fibroid out so the baby can come in.
