What does uterine nodule mean?

Every organ of the human body is of great significance to women, and the uterus is especially important to women, because the uterus is the cradle of creating offspring. If a woman's uterus is damaged, it is very likely to cause infertility. Only women who have become mothers are real women, so women must pay attention to protecting their uterus. Sometimes there will be a mass in the uterus, so what is the best way to treat uterine nodules?

What is the best way to treat uterine nodules? When female friends go to the hospital for a uterine examination, they will generally undergo a hysteroscopy. If a mass is found inside the uterus after the examination, it must be paid attention to, because the mass in the uterus may be a tumor, it may be due to uterine fibroids, it may also be due to adenomyosis, or uterine intrauterine polyps, etc. If a mass appears in the uterus, you must go to the hospital for further examination and identification to determine what condition the mass belongs to, and then treat it to achieve the best effect. Generally speaking, if the location of the lump is not important and the length of the lump is less than three centimeters, you can have regular follow-up visits to understand the growth of the lump. If the lump has no tendency to grow, you can wait for it to gradually disappear on its own. If the length of the lump is between three centimeters and five centimeters, the size of the lump can be controlled through medication to prevent the size of the lump from exceeding five centimeters. If the first examination finds that the lump is larger than five centimeters, it is recommended to immediately undergo surgery to remove the lump to prevent the lump from affecting other parts of the uterus. The appearance of a lump in the uterus is not a small problem. If the lump is relatively small and still within the control range, then it is not a big deal. If the lump grows rapidly, it needs to be removed in time to ensure the safety of the entire uterus of female friends.

What is the best way to treat uterine nodules? If a mass is found in the uterus, whether surgical removal is necessary can be determined based on the size of the mass and its growth rate.

If women have uterine nodules that are not treated in time, they may be detrimental to the implantation and development of the embryo formed by the sperm and egg, and increase the chance of miscarriage. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, it can hinder the movement of the fetus in the uterus and cause the fetus to lie transversely. The probability of breech and transverse positions will increase, which will increase the rate of cesarean section.

The treatment of uterine nodules is surgical treatment. If the pregnancy has already passed, the whole hysterectomy will be performed. The chance of uterine nodules getting worse is very small, and almost 80% of women have recurrent uterine fibroids. Hospitals generally recommend that patients go for a follow-up ultrasound every six months or a year to observe the development of the condition.
