What does Myomatous uterus mean?

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren’t associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.

Does medroxyprogesterone help with fibroids?

Progestogens (medications similar to the natural hormone, progesterone) can be taken orally, or administered by injection. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is a synthetic progesterone hormone, given by intramuscular injection, which may prevent the growth of uterine fibroids.

Is intramural myoma cancerous?

Intramural fibroids are growths that appear in the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type of uterine fibroid. 1 Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Due to the location of intramural fibroids, they may grow large and can stretch the womb.

What happens if uterine fibroids go untreated?

Important facts about fibroids *Fibroids get worse with time. If left untreated, fibroids can continue to grow in the uterus, both in size and number. *Bleeding will become heavier, and it may be accompanied by severe cramping and anaemia.

What is diffuse Myomatous?

Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis is a benign and extremely rare condition in which the uterus is symmetrically enlarged as a result of the almost complete replacement of the myometrium by innumerable poorly defined, confluent leiomyomatous nodules.

Can progesterone shrink uterine fibroids?

In women with smaller fibroids (the size of a tangerine or smaller), when progesterone is restored to normal levels, the fibroids often stop growing and shrink a bit, which is likely due to progesterone’s ability to help speed up the clearance of estrogens from tissue.
