Ultrasound Video showing Two cases of uterine Fibroids.

This video shows Two cases of Uterine Fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that originate in the uterus (womb). Although they are composed of the same smooth muscle fibers as the uterine wall (myometrium), they are much denser than normal myometrium. Uterine fibroids are usually round. In most cases, fibroids do not cause pain but usually aren't dangerous, they can cause discomfort and may lead to complications such as anemia, fatigue resulting from heavy blood loss.
As fibroids are typically not cancerous, you can decide whether you want to have them removed or not. You may not need surgery if your fibroids don't bother you. However, if women have heavy menstrual bleeding you might consider surgery.
Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on the uterus. These tumors may become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In some cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. These fibroids are typically benign or noncancerous. The cause of fibroids is unknown.
Fibroids are also known by the following names:
• leiomyomas
• myomas
• uterine myomas
• fibromas
According to some researches, almost 80 percent of women have them by the age of 50. However, most women don’t have any symptoms and may never know they have fibroids.
Types of fibroids
The type of fibroid depends on its location in or on the uterus.
Intramural fibroids
These are the most common type of fibroids. These types appear within the muscular wall of the uterus. Intramural fibroids may grow larger and can stretch the uterus.
Subserosal fibroids
These fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may develop large enough to make uterus appear bigger on one side.
Pedunculated fibroids
Subserosal tumors can develop a stem, a slender base that supports the tumor. These are known as pedunculated fibroids.
Submucosal fibroids
These types of tumors develop in the middle muscle layer, or myometrium, of the uterus. Submucosal tumors are uncommon as compared to the other types.
Causes of fibroids
It’s not certain why fibroids develop, but several factors may influence their formation.
Hormones
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones produced by the ovaries. They cause the uterine lining to regenerate during each menstrual cycle and may stimulate the growth of fibroids.
Family history
Fibroids may run in the family. The presence of fibroids in mother, sister, or grandmother may cause the tendency to develop fibroids.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy increases the production of estrogen and progesterone so Fibroids may develop and grow rapidly.
