How are fibroids diagnosed?

-

 

  • Ultrasound: The easiest method to diagnose a fibroid. A transvaginal ultrasound, in which the ultrasound probe is inserted into the vagina, may provide clearer pictures since it’s closer to the uterus during this procedure.
  • MRI: Provides a clearer image of the fibroids and their extent near soft tissues.
  • Hysteroscopy: is a procedure in which a small telescope with a light source, is inserted through the vaginal opening of the patient. This procedure is generally used in the case of submucosal fibroid i.e. when the fibroid is present in the womb.
  • Laparoscopy: During laparoscopy, the surgeon makes a small incision. These incisions are made near the patient’s abdomen. The laparoscope which is a small telescope with a light source and camera at one end is passed through the incisions so that the doctor can examine the tissues & organs inside the abdomen. During this procedure, general anesthesia is used. Such type of procedure can be used to look for fibroids outside your womb or fibroids in the layer of muscle surrounding the womb. The former case is known as subserosal fibroids and the latter is known as intramural fibroids. It is also a theoretical procedure where fibroids can be removed

Most of the women desire to have a normal vaginal delivery. However, the current scenario shows In the past 10 years, the number of babies born in India through the Cesarean Sections (C-Sections) has doubled. In 2005-6, the country recorded 9% births via C-section; by 2015-16, the rate had increased to 18%, according to a series of papers published recently in The Lancet. Cesarean Sections   (C-Sections) should only be done when pregnancy-related complications could endanger the lives of the mother and the baby.
