In the middle of the uterine wall a fibroid grows called intramural fibroid. The uterus of a woman enlarges, than the actual size because of intramural fibroids. A woman seems to be pregnant, or her belly appears like a pot due to this fibroid. Following diet or doing exercise do not have any use.

Normally the symptoms are excessive menstrual bleeding, menstrual clots, painful periods, feeling bulky, constant pelvic pain or pressure, and bladder and colon problems, such as frequent urination, trouble urinating or constipation. These are because of pressing of the fibroid on the closer organs.

When the size of intramural fibroids are very large, there is a chance to block the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the organs like kidneys. Sometimes permanent injury to the kidney may occur, when the fibroids are large in size.

Fertility of women may be affected by Intramural fibroids. As the report of Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York stated that these variety of fibroids reduces the pregnancy rate to 11% than those having submucosal fibroids, and 58% chance for miscarriages. The report also stated that there is more possibility for caesarean and premature delivery.

The University of Valencia in Spain has done a study, and stated the percentage of pregnancy did not reduce in the case of women undergoing IVF. BaskentUniversity in Turkey established that IVF drugs used to stimulate ovulation enlarges the intramural fibroids than the normal size.

Abdominal myomectomy is the general treatment for intramural fibroids. When the fibroids grows more than 5 or 7 centimeters in size, or more fibroids are to be removed, then the above treatment is suggested.

In abdominal myomectomy the fibroids are cut off surgically by doing a cut in the abdomen. In the above method, the surgeon cut out the fibroid by pulling the uterus through the opening in the cut. After repairing the uterus with sutures, the uterus is put back in its original place. Like all other surgeries, there is also the chance of bleeding and infection. We have to be conscious about bonding and scar tissue. In some cases the scar tissues bonds the organs, which may trouble in creating block in fallopian tubes.

Another surgical method is Uterine Artery Embolization. In the above method, the blood vessels which supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to the fibroids are blocked. The fibroids starving for the above things causes the tissue to die.

A research was done by Leeds Teaching Hospital on 10 women suffering with intramural fibroids of 11 centimeters in size. All of them had undergone the surgery of Uterine Artery Embolization. A follow up by the doctors after 12 and 36 months showed them that most of the women's symptoms settle down, except two who were still feeling bulky, and two who needed additional surgery because their kidneys got damaged. A patient required hysterectomy after a period of 7 months. The doctors conclusion stated that Uterine Artery Embolization was a secure method. But if you have a glance at the statistics reports, one of the report stated 20% of the women required additional surgery, another stated 30% have got back the same symptoms within five years.

Heavy vaginal bleeding is one more problem in doing Uterine Artery Embolization. A study was carried by McGillUniversity in Canada, on two women who had abnormal bleeding even after their surgery for intramural fibroids. Endometrial biopsy report of both women showed that both of them had necrotic fibroids (this happens to the dead tissue, because of insufficient blood supply).

After a short time of doing biopsy, septic formed in both women’s uterus which needed a hysterectomy. From the biopsy report, the doctors came to a conclusion that Uterine Artery Embolization, when done to an women, has a high chance of getting infected, if their intramural fibroids appear closer to the uterine lining. It is sensible that dead tissues easily attract more bacteria.

As the above stated methods are very danger, leading to form dead tissues in your uterus, it is better to go for surgeries or a hysterectomy, which gives a natural and artificial solution to your problem of intramural fibroid. For more details visit http://www.fibroidsetc.com/intramural-fibroid
