Fibroid & Kista

Dr Lee Keen Whye menjelaskan perbedaan antara kedua hal tersebut dan berbagai cara untuk mengidentifikasi serta mengobatinya.

Fibroid_ind_1 Apa itu fibroid uterus dan kista ovarium?

Ginekologi atau ilmu kandungan adalah studi mengenai penyakit-penyakit wanita sementara obstetri mempelajari tentang kehamilan dan kelainan-kelainannya. Tiga masalah ginekologi yang paling umum terjadi yang mungkin membutuhkan pembedahan adalah fibroid uterus, kista ovarium dan pendarahan menstruasi yang parah. Kebingungan yang paling sering terjadi ketika seorang wanita didiagnosis menderita tumor pada panggul adalah membedakan fibroid (mioma) dengan kista ovarium dan sebaliknya.

Fibroid dan kista ovarium merupakan dua tumor panggul yang paling umum pada wanita yang menimbulkan kebingungan dan identifikasi pada pasien. Bahkan istilah ‘tumor’, yang hanya berarti adanya pertumbuhan sel tubuh dan tidak memberikan indikasi apakah dia jinak (non-kanker), atau kanker, dapat membingungkan.

Rejuvenation

Sex is a form of expression of love, intimacy and a channel for reproduction. However, like all things beautiful, it is not eternal. Age, disease, stress and emotion do influence sexual behavior. When the female sexual anatomy has been damaged by childbirth, ageing or physical trauma, it can cause a woman to have reduced sexual enjoyment or embarrassment during sexual intercourse.

Fibroids & Cysts

Dr Lee Keen Whye explains the difference between the two and the

various ways of identifying and treating them.

What are uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts?

Gynaecology is the study of female diseases as opposed to obstetrics which is the study of pregnancy and its related disorders. The three most common gynaecological problems which may need surgery are uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and heavy menstrual bleeding. The commonest confusion when a female is diagnosed with a pelvic growth or tumour is to differentiate a fibroid (myoma) from ovarian cyst and vice versa.

Fibroid and ovarian cysts are the two most common female pelvic growths or tumours which cause confusion and identification amongst patients. Even the term ‘tumour’, which just means a growth and does not indicate whether it is benign (non-cancerous) or a cancer, can be confusing.

Fibroid

Fibroid or myoma (Latin) is commonly called ‘meat’ or ‘muscle’ tumour colloquially. This is because the growth or tumour arises from the smooth muscles of the uterus.

The Indonesians called it ‘myom’. Fibroids are common non-cancerous growths found in about 10% to 20% of women in the reproductive age group. The exact cause is unknown but is believed to be due to a localised hormonal imbalance of the uterus. Female hormones and drugs or herbs containing traces of oestrogen can stimulate the growth of fibroids. Fortunately, the risk of fibroids turning cancerous is less than 0.5%. See picture 1.

How do fibroids present?

Most fibroids are asymptomatic and are often discovered during routine health screening. Often ladies regard a bulge at the belly as ‘fat’ collection associated with overeating, lack of exercise or simply middle age paunch. The bulge can turn out to be a silently growing fibroid.

Handling a child's temper tantrum

Having children is a joy and a blessing. Any parent would attest to that as they witness the growing years of the child, how their physical appearances change, and how their personalities get shaped. Yet every parent knows that as the child grows, bouts of temper tantrums are bound to appear, and frequent episodes of this where the child is uncontrollable, frustrating, and even dangerous may leave the parent tired, frustrated, and angry.
