According to statistics, about 80% of women after 30 suffer from various forms of myomatous processes, and in most of them pathology develops secretly.
Such a factor often becomes the reason for a belated address to a specialist, which is not very well reflected in the treatment process and its predictions. A feature of myoma is the presence of many contraindications, which a woman with a similar diagnosis must necessarily take into account.
Categorical contraindications for uterine myoma
When a fibroid is found, the doctor must explain in detail to the patient what contraindications she will have to take into account in connection with the tumor.
It is not a question of complete isolation and rejection of everything that is customary, however, you still have to limit yourself in something:
- It is forbidden to lift heavy objects weighing more than 3 kg;
- Avoid heavy physical activity and excessive overwork;
- Do not drink a lot of water at night to prevent accumulation of fluid in the uterine tissues( edema of the uterus);
- Eliminate stresses that can trigger instability of the hormonal status and accelerate tumor growth;
- It is responsible to choose the contraceptive method of oral administration. It is unacceptable to choose such drugs alone, only on medical advice;
- Prevent pregnancy interruption, as a hormonal spike caused by abortion can increase tumor growth;
- Patients with myomatous processes are prohibited many health-improving physiotherapeutic measures and thermal treatment sessions, therefore, to avoid complications in the development of the tumor, it is necessary to carry out any procedures only for the purpose of the treating gynecologist.
Progesterone
The therapeutic efficacy of progesterone-based drugs in the treatment of uterine fibroids has not been proven, since the fact of the healing effect of this hormone has not been finally determined.
Therefore, experts do not recommend the use of such medicines in anti-myo-therapy. An exception is the presence of a combination of myomoneous formation with hyperplastic changes in the endometrium.
There are two opposing opinions. Supporters of one believe that a deficiency of progesterone hormone promotes the growth of education. Adherents of another point of view argue that with an elevated level of the hormone( for example, in pregnancy), there is also an active tumor growth.
Hence the disagreement. Both sides are right in their own way, therefore it is not clear to the end whether it is possible to take progesterone preparations for myomotherapy or not.
Features of the application of GnRH agonists
Similar drugs contribute to reducing the parameters of myomatous formations, providing the effect of premature onset of the menopausal period. GnRH agonists are recommended only in cases of small nodes with dimensions not exceeding 5 cm. The duration of therapy is about 3-7 months.
With a large-nodular myoma, the use of such drugs is unjustified, because under their influence the nodules diminish, which in operative treatment makes it difficult to detect them. Subsequently, a similar factor can lead to the development of relapse, all kinds of complications, etc.
Therefore, GnRH agonists are useful in the treatment of small myomas or in the postoperative period after the removal of large formations, so that the uterine structures are quickly restored and the growth of the remaining tumor rudiments is finally suppressed.
Ignoring the disease
Monitoring the growth of education is also considered one of the unacceptable factors.
Some patients do not appear at the gynecologist for years, even when they see an uncaused growth of the abdomen.
Such patients are usually referred to a specialist when organ-preserving surgery is meaningless, and it is necessary to remove the uterus entirely.
There can be many reasons for such a delay in visiting a gynecologist, however, most often women are subconsciously afraid of doctors who initially recommend removing the uterus.
Such fears are superfluous, as many methods have been developed today that allow to preserve the uterine body, for example, clogging of the uterine vessels( embolization), as a result of which the tumor dries up. In addition, the tumor can simply be removed without affecting the uterus, then the childbearing functions of the lady are completely preserved.
What can and can not be done with uterine myoma, answers to
questions In the issue of contraindications in the presence of a miombic process in the uterus, there are many nuances. We answer the most frequently asked questions.
- Can I twist the hoop with myoma of the uterus? In general, experts allow you to twist traditional hoops. Under the ban are only models hulahupov with weighting or various massage elements. It is also unacceptable to use the hoop in cases where the tumor is characterized by rapid growth or large size.
- Is it possible to swing a press with a myome? Regular sessions at the press will be an excellent preventive measure against myomatous formations. However, if the tumor is already detected, then the exercises on the press taboo. Such training has a beneficial effect on the low-blood circulation, strengthening it, which is dangerous by increasing the tumor.
- Can I do massage with myoma? In the presence of myomatous processes of the uterus, overheating of the low-tidal region, which is observed with massage procedures, and also with the use of various warming creams or ointments, is strictly unacceptable. Massage manipulations also have a heating effect and stimulate blood flow.

Gynecological massage procedures for myomas are also contraindicated.
- Can I play sports with uterine myomas? As for sports, myoma can become an obstacle for some activities. For example, with miomnyh tumors it is forbidden to engage in fitness, jumping, lifting dumbbells or barbells. All kinds of sports, which are accompanied by sharp movements, overstraining of the press and excessive burden on the stomach, are prohibited. Such overloads can cause torsion of the legs, increased tumor growth and other complications.

In addition, with such a disease, visits to saunas and baths are unacceptable, which also lead to overheating and can cause uncontrolled growth of education.
- Can I do electrophoresis? There are a lot of disputes concerning the use of electrophoresis in uterine myoma. Although most experts believe that iodine electrophoresis is very useful in this disease, because such procedures contribute to the reduction of the estrogen level. But copper electrophoresis, on the contrary, stimulates ovarian activity. Reducing the concentration of estrogens will help and iodide-bromine and radon baths.
- Contraindications to physiotherapy in miomy formations of the uterus. Among physiotherapy procedures in the presence of miotic processes, patients can not conduct thermal procedures such as ultraviolet irradiation, mud therapy and paraffinotherapy, infrared therapy and phonophoresis, ultrasound and laser treatment, vibration therapy, etc.
General contraindications
General contraindications include the prohibition of overstrain of the abdominalmuscles, so patients will have to forget about fitness training and any other load on the low-tensity area and abdomen.
In addition, women with fibroids can not make bike rides, raise the bar, jump with a skipping rope.
One should be more careful with massage procedures, because not every part of the body is allowed to be massaged. Physiotherapeutic, wellness, solar, thermal procedures also become forbidden.
Emotional overexcitation, abortion, unhealthy diet, excessive food - all this is fraught with dangerous consequences, so it is also prohibited. The psychoemotional state is also of great importance in myoma, therefore it is recommended that women avoid stressful overloads.
If the gynecologist has detected myoma, do not be afraid of surgery. In the early stages of , the treatment can be conservative, and today's operations have learned to conduct without incisions and without removal of the uterus.
Any delay can be dangerous, so it's better to trust yourself in qualified hands than to lose the chance of a happy motherhood.
