Understanding Intramural Uterine Fibroids

• Intramural fibroids are benign growths within the uterine wall. They may cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding or pelvic pain.

Monitoring and Follow-up

• Regular ultrasound scans are crucial to monitor fibroid size and changes. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.

Symptom Assessment

• Evaluate symptoms such as heavy bleeding or pelvic pressure, as they guide management decisions.

Medical Management Options

• Consider hormonal therapies (e.g., progestins) to manage symptoms. Pain relief medications may also be used.

Surgical and Minimally Invasive Treatments

• Options like myomectomy or uterine artery embolization are available if symptoms worsen. Considerations include age and menopausal status.

Lifestyle and Supportive Measures

• Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to help manage symptoms.

Consultation with Specialists

• Consult a gynecologist for personalized management. Referral to a specialist center may be necessary if needed.
