Uterine dilatation disease
Except for pregnancy , uterine dilation can be a symptom of a medical condition that requires treatment.
Uterine fibroids most commonly affect women over the age of 30, especially those who are overweight or obese. Hormonal and genetic factors also contribute to the risk of fibroids. In most cases, fibroids are very small, but sometimes they can weigh up to several tens of grams. A woman can carry one or more fibroids in her uterus. The tumor dilates the uterus and also causes symptoms, such as:
Feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen.
Painful and prolonged menstrual periods, sometimes accompanied by blood clots.
Bleeding between periods.
- Constipation ; urinating frequently.
- Pain during intercourse.
Treatment: One treatment for uterine fibroids is called cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid so that it shrinks and eventually dies; or surgery to remove fibroids or surgery to remove the uterus. Other treatments include endometrial ablation (inner lining of the uterus) or myolysis (using a frozen or electrically-powered instrument to destroy fibroids). Pain relievers may also be used.
Adenomyosis is a thickening of the uterus, which occurs when tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterine wall now migrates to the outside of the uterine wall. The cause of Adenomyosis is largely unknown. It most commonly occurs in women over the age of 30 who have had children. It is also more common in women who have had uterine surgery, including a cesarean section.
In addition to uterine dilation, symptoms of Adenomyosis may include:
- Long periods and heavy bleeding.
- Pain during intercourse.
Adenomyosis may not require any treatment, just pain medication. Birth control pills and an intrauterine device that contains progesterone can help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. For young women with adenomyosis, treatment may be a hysterectomy to relieve symptoms.
A feeling of heaviness or pain in the pelvis after standing for a long time or during or after sexual intercourse. Although the cause of pelvic congestion is unknown, many experts believe it may be related to abdominal varicose veins (which develop during pregnancy and beyond). This syndrome also causes the uterus to dilate.
In some cases, uterine dilation can be a symptom of uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer. Treatment depends on the extent of the cancer and other factors.
