I have been diagnosed with a anteverted uterus and intramural fibroid on the right lateral wall of my uterus?



I have searched the web and nothing really explains to me what either of these diagnosis mean. I have been 'feeling' this fibroid alot recently and appears to be growing bigger causing a feeling of a large mass on my right hand side. Can anyone explain if this is normal and what intramural and anteverted uterus mean. Also if anyone knows of any natural ways the fibroid could be shrunk, I would be grateful to hear of them. Thanks in advance.

Let's see if I can help. Anteverted uterus refers to the direction the top of the uterus is pointing. Some are anteverted and some are retroverted. Anteverted is the most common and acceptable position of the uterus. This implies that the top is towards your front, or tummy. So there is nothing wrong with that. It is completeley normal--now on to the fibroid issue.

Fibroids

Fibroids, or myomas, are growths or benign tumours that form inside the uterus (womb). Around four in 10 women over the age of 40 will have fibroids. No one knows why fibroids develop, but it is suspected that the sex hormones - oestrogen and progesterone - play significant roles. This is because fibroids rarely grow in prepubescent girls and postmenopausal women. Pre-existing fibroids stop growing, and may even shrink, once a woman passes the menopause. Fibroids often cause no problems, but may occasionally be associated with infertility, miscarriage and premature labour. Other possible problems include heavy, lengthy and painful periods. Treatment depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids, but may include drugs and surgery. Fibroids rarely turn cancerous.

Different types
Fibroids are categorised by their location, which includes:
Intramural - growing in the uterine wall. Intramural fibroids are the most common variety.
Submucosal - growing in the uterine lining (endometrium). This type tends to cause excessive menstrual bleeding and period pain.
Subserosal - growing on the exterior wall of the uterus. They sometimes appear like long stalks

Generally speaking if it doesn't bother you too much, just let it be.
Well if you were diagnosed then your doctor should be able to give you those facts a find a way to help you. If not, get a second opinion and drop that doctor.
