Myoma Treatment Antalya

MYOM

Myomas are the most common, benign, non-carcinogenic masses in the uterus. It is called myoma because it originates from the myometrium, the muscle layer of the uterus. It is also called fibroid. Fibroids can be single or multiple, or of different sizes.

They develop different clinical findings according to their location in the uterus.

While an 8 cm myoma growing out of the uterus may not show any clinical symptoms; a submucous 1 cm myoma under the endometrium layer may cause intense menstrual bleeding.

Fibroids are quite common and occur in 20-50% of women over the age of 30.

It is especially more common in women between 40-50 years of age.

MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS IN THE PRESENCE OF FIBROIDS
