Conception delayed and fewer births have contributed to an increase in the number of women with fibroids. However, more can also be attributed to early detection due to annual medical examinations, most women leave covered days.Fibroids muscle fibers of the matrix are mostly noncancer affecting one in four women, Associate Professor Deputy says Bernard Chern, director and senior consultant at KK Women # 39; s and Children # 39; s Hospital Minimally Invasive Surgery Unit. quot; Many have no symptoms and are unaware of the growth of fibroids, until you go examenquot;, says.Some that women do not have problems like heavy bleeding during their periods. And some fibroids can affect fertility. However, only about 10 percent of fibroid cases contribute to the inability to conceive. quot; sonquot depends on where the fibroids, says Dr. Chern. quot; They can be located within the uterine cavity, called fibrosis submucosa or muscle of the wall (intramural), or on the surface of the subserosa matrix (). Submucosal fibroids in the uterus is the principal who may present a problem for women trying to conceive, she says. If you put too much, then quot; compitenquot; through space. # 39, so that is the principal so that doctors recommend the removal quot;. But ultimately, the elimination is reduced in size, number and ubicaci; n.quot; The intramural myoma is usually harmless, but if it becomes too large, then distorting the uterus or fallopian tube obstruction quot;, says Dr. Chern. quot; It is then that requires removal. Otherwise, if small, then sometimes the patient does not have to have it removed. quot; The good news is that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are increasingly used techniques to remove the fibroids. Laparoscopy is used to remove fibroids and intramural subserous, whereas submucosal fibroids are removed through hysteroscopy. This procedure is very similar to resection (partial removal) of the male prostate gland through the general urethra.In keyhole approach is appropriate for fibroids are less numerous and smaller. However, fibroids up to 15cm have also been removed via laparoscopy. quot; Although only half of our surgical removal of fibroids is MIS, due to the amount and the size factor, quot;, says Dr. Chern, adding that the other half are eliminated by surgery.Still open, the handling 50 percent of cases of fibroids with MIS is a giant leap for only 7 percent in 1993. In 2004, 28 per cent of withdrawals were made by fibroids MIS, and the percentage almost doubled to 46 percent in 2007. quot; There are two reasons for this. Women are the detection of fibroids before, thanks to health screenings quot;, says the doctor. # 39; addition, patients are more demanding today. My questions because they are aware there is a procedure that will result in less pain and faster healing. quot; Ultimately, the fibroids are more troublesome than dangerous cancer risk is low. Even for fibroids affect fertility, especially in the uterus. Women can not choose to do something if fibroids are asymptomatic or are not growing rapidly, # 39, Dr. advises.Source Chern: Business Times, Saturday, April 18, 2009 by Cheah UiHoon br br br br
