Fibroid Degeneration – Uterine Fibroids Treatment Doctors

Fibroids are benign tumors that grow on or in the muscular walls of the uterus. Some fibroid tumors don’t produce any symptoms at all, while others can be severely symptomatic. It is common for a woman to have multiple fibroid tumors and it may be difficult to understand which fibroid is causing specific symptoms. The best fibroid doctors and top specialists in NYC who are part of the fibroid treatment center VIVA EVE, work alongside interventional radiologists to determine the best course of treatment for each individual patient.

The most common fibroid symptoms include:

• Pain
• Severe menstrual cramps
• Abdominal pressure
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Frequent and incomplete urination
• Constipation
• Painful sex

The living tissue of the fibroid needs oxygen and nutrients to grow and repair itself, just like other cells in your body. When the fibroids grow too large or too quickly, the blood vessels supplying the fibroids are no longer able to provide enough sustenance to meet the needs of the fibroid. When this happens, the cells of the fibroid begin to die, causing  severe pain and abdominal discomfort. This process is called degeneration.
