How do I treat multiple fibroids and prevent miscarriage?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I would like to explain that fibroids are hormones sensitive masses that are benign and never get cancerous. One in one lakh may have the risk. The growth of fibroid depends on the estrogen hormones (the female hormone from ovaries). So they will keep growing till you have periods. The only way to stop it from growing is to stop the hormone. It is possible either by pregnancy, no periods for ten months, or with medicine to block the hormones. If you use these medications, you will not ovulate during that time, and you will not get pregnant.

Just having a fibroid is not an indication of the removal of the mass. Fibroids are stone-hard masses, which almost always come in multiple numbers. They need treatment only if they cause any symptoms. Extending into the uterine cavity cause excessive bleeding and severe pain during periods, as the uterus is trying to push out the mass, like a baby. It also causes the excessive vaginal discharge. If it is at the site of baby implantation, it will interfere with the baby's blood flow, causing miscarriage. Also, if any fibroid is more than 5 cm, I suggest it is better to remove it. Medicine is effective if small fibroids of 2-3 cm are seen. A healthy pregnancy is never affected by physical exertion. Diet does not affect fibroids. I suggest you try the newer treatment modality called magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS). It is a non-surgical method to shrink the fibroid using magnetic resonance.

I hope you get well soon.
