Myoma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Script error: No such module "about". Template:Infobox medical condition (new) A myoma is a type of tumor that involves muscle cells.[1] There are two main types of myoma:
- Leiomyomas which occur in smooth muscle.[1] They most commonly occur as uterine fibroids, but may also form in other locations.
- Rhabdomyomas which occur in striated muscle.[1][2][3] They are rare tumors. So-called adult rhabdomyoma has been diagnosed mostly in men aged >40 years, whereas fetal rhabdomyoma occurs between birth and early childhood (<3 years). [4] They very rarely become malignant.[5]
Whether or not angiomyomas are a type of leiomyoma or a separate entity is disputed as of 2014.[3]
Myomas are benign tumors of the uterus that can affect the fertility of a woman depending mainly on three factors:
- Size (cut off value 4-5 cm)
- Number
- Location (they can be intramural, subserous or submucous). Submucous ones are worst from a fertility point of view, while subserous are less dangerous.
Some of the most common symptoms are: abundant menstrual bleeding, longer menstrual periods, pelvic pressure, constipation, a need to urinate continuously.
