What To Do If You Have Subserosal Fibroid

posterior subserosal fibroid

Do you have a subserosal fibroid?  Subserosal fibroids are those that grow on the outside of the uterus, and cause the uterus to appear larger than it is.

They usually develop during menstruation, because this is the time when their blood supply to the uterus is highest.The blood provides the subserous fibroids with nutrition and oxygen, which assists in accelerating their increase in size.

Subserous fibroids can possibly grow into an enormous size, and can even increase into a size similar to a six months old pregnancy.These can bring about a feeling of heaviness and constant discomfort.

They may also produce pain in seemingly irrelevant areas of the body such as the lower back or behind the legs because they can affect the sensory nerves attached to these areas of the body.

Other symptoms of subserosal fibroids include abdominal bloating, especially during menstruation, as well as looking pregnant due to the bulky fibroid.

Due to their size and location, they may cause pressure on the organs such as the colon, causing difficulty in moving bowels, as well as the bladder, causing incontinence or difficulty in urinating.   They can even damage the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidneys, and damage the kidneys. This is the reason doctors will often advise surgery to stop subserous fibroids from causing more harm to your body.

Although a surgical operation can produce quick results, there are risks.Laparascopic myomectomies for example, may compromise blood vessels or the intestines.  They can also cause additional scar tissue and adhesions, which can affect your digestion and fertility.

Uterine Artery Embolization causes death to tissues, and this in turn leads to serious infections in the uterus that may spread other parts of the body.A lot of pain will be experienced while the tissue is dying, and a very unpleasant vaginal odor will be caused by the dead tissue.

The danger and unwanted side effects associated with invasive methods can be serious and life-threatening, therefore many women look for other safe options that provide gradual results, but do not carry risks.  You can find out more about these natural remedies for subserosal fibroids at http://www.fibroidsetc.com/subserosal-fibroids/
