Benign neoplasm of the uterus called myoma is diagnosed in young women quite often. The initial stage of the disease passes without noticeable signs. The only thing that can tell about the tumor, it's menstruation with uterine myoma. Many of their characteristics in comparison with the previous ones change significantly.
What is myoma and how does it change menstruation
Benign tumor consists of muscle cells, as well as connective tissue, can be located in different parts of the uterus and can be of several kinds. With regular examinations at a gynecologist, myoma is easily detected, an accurate diagnosis is established using hardware methods.
From its location, it depends on what the monthly for myomas will have to be borne to a woman. Neoplasm can appear both in the cavity of the organ, and on the outer part or in the thickness of the uterine wall.
Among the causes of the occurrence, which can be a lot in a particular case, a problem in the sphere of hormones. Typically, this is an increase in estrogen concentration and a decrease in progesterone. Both hormones participate in the menstrual cycle, so any preponderance of one or the other inevitably affects its characteristics, in particular, the intensity of the menstrual cycle.
Abundant discharge and myoma
The size of the tumor is measured according to the size of the uterus during pregnancy at different times. It is believed that menstruation intensifies only when it corresponds to 12 weeks. But the gynecological practice shows that the uterine myoma can be given ample monthly with the appearance of the first nodules in the organ. Other factors contributing to the process are the origin of the neoplasm. These are surgical interventions on the uterus, which are not uncommon for some girls from a very young age: abortions, scraping for various reasons. A significant role is played by the fact that the myoma before the monthly increases in size with the organ, increasing the pressure on the tissue.
Why does myoma have profuse periods? Yes, because the disease is almost always combined with changes in the endometrium, caused by the same hormonal imbalance. Most often this is an excess of estrogens.
Are there scant menstruations
Scanty menstrual periods with myomas also happen, but much less often. Their owners should not rejoice in saving their strength and hygiene in critical days. This sign also indicates a noticeable hormonal failure, which can affect the growth of the tumor. If it is more than 4 weeks a year, it will have to operate.
In addition, and in this case, there are unavoidable discharges in myoma after menstruation. They are smearing, small or so intense that you have to resort to professional help and blood-restoring drugs.
Uterine bleeding
In women who first encounter this disease, a clear associative series arises: myoma, menstrual bleeding. What they soon feel is their own organism. Bleeding between menstruation is caused by a large amount of estrogen. The hormone makes the inner membrane of the uterus uneven in thickness. Therefore, with menstruation and rejection occurs incomplete. Some areas of the endometrium are released from the old cells, others remain covered by them and after menstruation. As a result, these remains leave later, some time later.
Another cause of uterine bleeding in between critical days is a decrease in the contractile ability of the organ. A tumor, albeit benign, creates such a strain on it that the spiral arteries do not contract. The blood freely flows out in a significant amount in addition to the monthly, which is indicated by other signs:
- Growing weakness;
- Chilliness;
- Pale skin and mucous membranes.
Temporary impairment of the
cycle Hormonal failure entails, in addition to intensifying the intensity of the discharge, also shifting the time frames of the cycle. Frequent periods with myoma are a common sign. The cycle is noticeably shortened, menstruation becomes painful. The blame is that a woman sometimes meets twice a month "red days of the calendar", a violation of the development of sex hormones. Their excessive amount causes the acceleration of the development of the endometrium, when it reaches a readiness for rejection faster than normal.
With myomas, there may be a delay in menstruation, although this is more rare. Usually seen at the initial stage of the disease, if the appearance of the tumor is caused by ovarian dysfunction. Long expectations of menstruation are interspersed with violent bleeding, which should encourage a woman to be examined if there is still no diagnosis. After all, this does not happen in the norm. The delay in monthly for myoma causes can have the following:
- Changes in the structure of the myometrium;
- Infringement of microcirculation of blood in endometrial vessels;
- Pregnancy.
The last of these possibilities for many with this diagnosis seems unrealistic. In fact, the onset of pregnancy neoplasm may not interfere. But it often prevents her development, which provokes miscarriages. Therefore, with delays, and also in the absence of menstruation, it makes sense to make a test. To avoid pregnancy during the period of illness, it is very important to keep track of your monthly myoma. How many days they go depends on their intensity. With scant excretions, menstruation can last up to 3 days. Abundant do not give the woman a respite and longer than a week.
Consistency of excretions
In the way that the monthly for myoma occurs, there are also differences from the former, healthy state. Allocations can be quite dense, almost always bright red or dark because of the abundance of blood in them, which should normally be less than other components. Sometimes clumps come out, large enough. Changed endometrial hormones in some areas changes thickness, hence the pieces of its tissues in the secretions. But it happens that the monthly just flow like water. In this case, we are talking about the aforementioned uterine bleeding, when it is necessary to change the gasket hourly. Without medical assistance, he can not cope with it.
Menstrual pain with myoma
Myoma pain with monthly strengthens every third of its "possessor".Especially often the sensations are noticed in those who have small nodules located in the intermuscular space. This interstitial tumor can develop in the direction of the body cavity. Monthly with such a myoma, the uterus is long and intense. And the pains become quieter, but do not disappear at all and after the end of the critical days. The listed symptoms are pronounced if the myoma is supplemented by adenomyosis, that is, the penetration of endometrial glands into adjacent layers of the organ.
Similar manifestations occur with submucosal neoplasm. But the pain with the monthly in this case is cramping, as the uterus tries to push out the tumor from its cavity. In some cases, it succeeds, and the myomatous node goes along with the menstrual discharge.
Myoma during menstruation increases painful sensations also because it can press on neighboring organs. The bladder and intestines usually suffer. In the first case, a woman notices that she needs to visit the toilet more often. Intestinal manifestations on critical days are also noticeable in the absence of the uterine neoplasm, and with it, flatulence and pain in this area remind oneself even more.
What to do with the monthly for myoma
Myoma during the menstrual period plays the role of a catalyst. Abundant discharge, which is typical for her, often puts a woman in bed for all this time. If the site is small and does not grow, specialists will not operate it. But also to transfer monthly a stream of vydeleny which weakens and leaves for a long time without forces, too it is impossible. This is for a woman guaranteed anemia, and in the worst case, death from blood loss, if you are too patient and irresponsible. Therefore, you need to look for options how to stop the menstrual period with myoma. The severity of the disease does not allow you to do it yourself. Too great is the risk of choosing the wrong remedy and increasing the intensity of the discharge. Even folk methods of therapy "harmless medicinal herbs" should be agreed with the doctor. Many of them can nourish the growth of the tumor, causing an increase in symptoms.
Phytotherapy for problematic menstruation with
myoma. How to reduce myocardial infarction with myomas is known from the great-grandmother's age, because the diagnosis appeared much earlier than most modern drugs. Despite the effectiveness and variety of medicinal herbs, it is necessary to apply such treatment periodically, but not constantly. To normalize the volume of excretions in myomas it is possible with the help of:
- Picking up the mountaineer pepper, shepherd's bag and nettle. Herbs are taken equally, 2 tablespoons.pour a glass of boiling water, 10 minutes insist and drink 3 times a day for half a cup. Treatment begins 2-3 days before the onset of menstruation and continues until the end;

Official medicine against myomatous bleeding
Conservative treatment of fibroids is necessary for normalizing the cycle, reducing the abundance of secretions and the size of the nodes. It includes hormonal drugs:
- Zoladex, Nopharelin, Decapetil. This group of drugs that prevent the development of gonadotropins, which helps reduce the size of the uterus and the temporary cessation of menstruation in general;
- Norkolut, DUFASTON.Decrease the production of estrogens and increase the concentration in the body of prostaglandins. This normalizes the cycle and in some cases promotes resorption of the myomatous nodes.
Obviously, hemostatic drugs with ample monthly for myomas are also necessary. The most effective:
- Vikasol. An old preparation containing vitamin K, which helps to coagulate blood.2 tablets per day will help cope with abundant secretions;
- Etamsylate. A newer remedy with hemostatic action without the formation of clots. It can take 1-2 tablets 3-4 times a day. The action of Etamsilat is longer than that of Vikasola;
- Tranexam. Strengthens the coagulability of blood, due to stimulation of platelet production. Take 1 tablet 3-4 times a day;
- Diferelin. The blood-stopping effect of the drug during menstruation is achieved by blocking the production of FSH and LH.It is administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly;
- Ascorutin. Provides a vitamin effect on the vessels, strengthens their walls, which gives a haemostatic effect;
- Dicinone. Reduces the permeability and fragility of capillaries, since the main active ingredient is etamzilate. To stop bleeding, 2 tablets will last for 8 hours.
Monthly after operation
Rapidly growing tumor is not subject to conservative treatment, it is operated in various ways. Whether the fibroids are removed during menstruation depends on the circumstances. If the intervention is carried out urgently, and the uterus also has to be disposed of, then critical days are not taken into account. But in the vast majority of cases, operations are carried out on schedule, avoiding this with monthly ones.
Modern surgery is capable of preserving the organ and even the ability to have children. Means, and menstruation after intervention also do not disappear.
Monthly after removal of uterine fibroids after a while( 30-60 days) are restored. This happens with the healing of scars, depends also on the complexity of the operation, the location and type of neoplasm. Removal of myoma monthly makes it less abundant and painful. There may be pulling sensations in the sacrum and in the lower abdomen, but they do not fall out of the framework of the norm, since this also happens in healthy women. But in general, monthly myomas after the operation should return to the indicators before the disease. For this, the woman will have to:
- Forget about the heavy physical exertion for a long time( up to six months);
- Postpone sex for 2-3 months;
- Leave smoking and alcohol in the past. They poorly affect the healing of tissues and weaken the blood vessels.
Abundant monthly after removal of fibroids can be caused:
- Relapse of disease;
- Trauma in the operation of neighboring organs;
- Weakened uterus muscles if the tumor was large.
Intensive discharge, supplemented by the following signs, require immediate consultation of a specialist. About trouble show:
- Severe pain;
- fever, chills;
- Nausea;
- Meteorism, constipation;
- Frequent urination with blood.
Changes in the monthly for uterine myoma are in most cases so obvious that it is difficult not to pay attention to them. This enables early diagnosis, which means successful non-surgical treatment. All you need is to consult a specialist, without waiting for exhausting bleeding and anemia, without trying to recover yourself. Myoma rarely degenerates into a malignant tumor, but its growth in the absence of treatment can lead to the need for removal together with the organ. And given that women are sick from 20 to 40 years, this is highly undesirable.
Before using any medications, you should consult a physician specialist. There are contraindications.
