Question: I Want Know About Leiomyoma Disease, Its Cause?

Answer: Hi, The cause of uterine leiomyomas is unknown, but steroid hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, and several growth factors, including epidermal growth factor, have been implicated as regulators of leiomyoma growth. Leiomyomas typically arise after menarche and regress after menopause, implicating estrogen as a promoter of leiomyoma growth. Uterine leiomyomas occur in 20% to 25% of women of reproductive age and reportedly affect three times as many black women as white women. The tumors become malignant (leiomyosarcoma) in only 0.1% or less of patients.

Question: leiomyoma,anyone know if? please help... ive just had a laparoscopy and the doctor found a leiomyoma he left it there(i dont know why,he didnt take it out,while he was already in me) from what ive been able to find they cause infertility he knows im trying to have a baby? please,does anyone know anything about these? will it destroy my reproductive sysytem? why would he leave it there?? minx=but i read it causes infertility if left there..and the doc knows im ttc please post back does it cause infertility&will it grow and spread im sooooo scared?????/

Answer: Hi there !! Apparently a leiomyoma is a benign tumor (meaning non-cancerous) derived from smooth muscle and is most often found in the uterus .............. judging from that description I would say that your Doctor left it there because to do anything with it would be unecessary surgery ........... that is, of course, unless you are experiencing discomfort from it.

Question: Large partially pedunculated fibroid leiomyoma 10.2 x 8.6 x 9.7 of the anterior uterus... HELP? In a way I can tell I’m blessed why? In 2008 I used to blame myself and others who caused a car accident that I was in. I lost so much after that accident not being able to have the very good health and physic I used to have. From 162 no I weight 210. I went to so many doctors after my accident because my neck and back was really in pain. I finally found a doctor who did thank lord give me hope that everything could go back to normal. Until the other day my chiropractors to finish my treatment cause my insurance almost with no balance, he told me that he will MRI my back. When they did they found and confirmed that I had a herniated disc L5-S1 that this accident had make worst because a previous chiropractor told me I had a disc problem before 3 days before the accident etc... But that MRI for my back shows a growing mass inside my pelvic. They send me for a pelvic ultrasound. Also the days of the MRI my tummy to the right side move so much that was crazy and I was extremely dizzy. Result came like that: Age: 26 Sex: Female History: Pelvic pain with heavy menses. Finding: utilizing a full urinary bladder as an acoustic window, the pelvis was evaluated and the uterus is in a normal anteverted/anteflexed orientation measuring 8.4 x 9.8 x 8.0 cm. The uterus contains a very large anterior complex leiomyoma, which measures 10.2 x 8.6 x 9.7 cm. The right and left adnexa are normal. There is no free fluid within the cul-de-sac. Impression: There is a large soft tissue mass involving the anterior uterus almost certainly representing a large partially pedunculated leiomymoma, which measures 10.2 x 8.6x 9.7 cm. This is an otherwise normal study. I had so many symptoms related to this now I realized when I make search, I though it was normal to have these symptoms or I was like that but I was in silence sick. -I always had heavy period since a teen -around 2 to 3 days -only when lose weight in 2007 my period is around 5 to 6 days with no pain at all. -sometimes painful period who changed to be worst now, and right side got worst in last 3 years with clog blood peace going aout. -constipation on and off but now for my period this month my belly got so big and bloated and I was constipated now I started going again. -I always fell pain when I’m ovulating like I’m having my period on my right ovaries side and pain bit after period since 1 year ½ now. -My right side belly itch me so much when I eat sugar or bad food or fell like biting me inside to my skin. -when I crave too much sugar and eat really too much I have a gluant mucus think like mucus and clear going out my vagina with no smell, sometimes itch lightly. When I take the GSE grapseed oil it's ok. -under my skin all over my body something fell like stuff crawling. -end 2007/start 2008 after doing a master cleanse I start noticing theses itch on my right side belly.

Answer: You need to direct these questions to your doctor. Generally, people on Answer Yahoo aren't intelligent enough to write complete sentences, much less offer medical advice, answer questions or give opinions. Good luck... wait til Tuesday!!!!!!

Answer: Fibroids are clumps of uterine extra tissue overgrowths, some do not cause any discomfort and the ones that are larger and that will need to be surgically removed through an incision like a c-section to basically go into the uterus . If you are 26 years old, and want children, make sure that they leave your ovaries, tubes and uterus intact and NOT TO REMOVE THEM and only remove the fibroids. However, if your doctor suggests that something be removed so the fibroids don't come back and start growing again? Ask him what your options are. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor all the questions you have. Make a short list and take it with you to your appointment. Be ready with some questions. You will be OK. Have faith, and speak to someone at Social Security and start some benefits, you need to speak to a counselor, a dietician, and you need alot of support, emotional and medically. And try to have someone with you all the time, because you shouldn't be alone in this.

Question: what are uterine leiomyoma?

Answer: they are very common benign tumors (the most common tumor in women) of the smooth muscle tissue in the muscular layer of the uterus. They are a celular proliferation of fusiform cells with very low mitotic activity that usually arise in several groups. They are benign, I insist, because they are well limited and have little or no mitotic activity (cell division), which isn't irregular either (the DNA does not get mutated when they divide). they may cause bleeding or discomfort, which is why the woman should go to her gyno. surgical treatment is usually completely curative and doesn't involve any loss of function (as in a histerectomy or anything).

Question: whats the cause of leiomyoma?

Answer: Leiomyomas are benign soft-tissue neoplasms that arise from smooth muscle. They can develop wherever smooth muscle is present.

Question: Help explain these causes of dysmenorrhea / painful menses? Had a lecture on dysmenorrhea today and I know the causes but can't understand the reasons behind them. Pls help explain to me how it causes the pain wherever possible for these causes:- 1. Leiomyoma 2. Endometriosis 3. IUD usage Thanks in advance! :)

Answer: all pain in dysmenorrhea is caused by prostaglandin sysnthesis and inflammation, that is why drugs like aleve, formerly anaprox(naproxen sodium) or cataflam (diclfenac potasium) work so well combating the pain of this syndrom. Leiomyoma is fibroid tissue in the smooth muscle of the uterie walls, this causes pain from irregular buildup of the lining on the wall of the uterus over the monthly cycles characterized by continuous spotting/bleeding constant cramping and pain. Now endometriosis is when the lining tha builds up through out the month leading up to the period don't quite break away like they should, ideally the blood vessels supplying this tissue with blood and nutrients should receive a horomone (progestin) signaling that no fertalization has taken place thereby shrinking the feeding vessels and causing this tissue to shrivel and to slough off the inner wall of the uterus. In endometriosis something doesn't work right and it doesn't slough off properly and this cause bleeding, spotting constant cramping, pain and a womens horomones to get imbalanced. Now IUDs are implanted into the cervix and opened like a dry wall anchor, not to sound crude but that is what it look similar to. This can be painfull as this physical objectscraps against the insie of the cervix and sometimes cases tisue to grow over the device s when finaly removing said device it is almost as painfull as pulling a tooth. Again all of these sydromes are painfull due to the increase of prostaglandins. if under the care of a physician and not allergicand kidneys are good then a shot of toradol is agreat solutionto the pain followed up by Aleve If you need a perscription diclifenac potassium is good for cramps too Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes spell check isn't working!

Question: I had a vaginal ultrasound for heavy bleeding and clotting.? I am very nervous, and was wondering if someone could help me understand this report a little better: I have to wait two weeks to see the gynecologist. 1. Uterine hypoechoic myometrial focus, probable small leiomyoma. 2. Endometrial heterogeneity may represent underlying endometrial hyperplasia versus endometrial polyp versus endometrial carcinoma. Would recommend a pelvic MRI and possible hysteroscopy to further evaluate. 3. Prior left adnexal abnormality not identified. Would consider a pelvic MRI to further evaluate. 4. Right adnexal hypoechoic focus, probably right ovary versus less likely a subserosal leimyoma. This can be further evaluated on a pelvic MRI. Thank you for any insight you can give me!!!! Thank you so much "jj mcintosh"!!! Thank you "novac w"!!!

Answer: They want to do a MRI along with a hysteroscopy to determine what it is that they have found. They do not believe it to be cancer, but they want to do the tests to make sure. They have found abnormalities though. Go to ask.com and look up each of the words you do not know. You will need to look up leiomyoma, endometrial heterogeneity, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyp, endometrial carcinoma, and adnexal hypoechoic. I did look up endometrial hyperplasia since this is likely the cause for the bleeding and here is the web site for this. http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/FEMH… Hope this helped.
