Cervical fibroids in women

Fibroids of the cervix in women are common. Fair-sex representatives over the age of 30 are most susceptible to this disease. 75% of women face this unpleasant disease, while the consequences and severity of the disease can be completely different.

Symptoms of cervical bone tumors in women

Symptoms of osteonecrosis in women can be detected in an early stage, as the discs of the cervical spine are located close together and are small in height. Cervical fibroids can have serious consequences - complications and even death. Indeed, the arteries passing through the neck that feed the brain, the nerves and roots are connected to the lungs, arms, and heart, as well as the spinal cord. Therefore, you should not delay treatment with a good doctor.

To be able to recognize cervical fibroids, women need to pay attention to the following signs:

• When the head is turned, there is a noise in the neck and an unpleasant sensation of pain occurs;
• Temporal and occipital headaches recur frequently;
• Imaging pain travels to the neck;
• Rapidly fatigue, weakness, and fatigue;
• High temperature;
• Severe neck stiffness, difficulty turning your head;
• Discomfort in the shoulder that occurs when the arm is under light load or when a cough;
• Numbness and tingling in the extremities and tongue;
• Dizziness, dark circles under the eyes;
• Snores while sleeping;
• Difficulty swallowing;
• Anxiety, unjustified fear;
• Mood changes independent of the cycle;
• Sleep disturbance;
• Severe impairment of memory and attention;
• Hypertension (increase or decrease);
• Pain in the heart area, impaired hearing and tinnitus, complications with vision are much less common.
• Nausea, vomiting;
• The skin is bluish in color.

Fibroids of the cervix can cause fever and poor health.

Important!Especially cervical bone tumors provide a commonality in women during peak periods.

Characteristics of bone necrosis in women

Osteochondrosis is a disorder in the musculoskeletal system, whereby the disc and joints can collapse. Due to the structural characteristics of the body, the symptoms of fibroids of the cervix are more pronounced in women than in men. The fact that the male shoulder area is wider, it supports the entire spine, preventing the neck from being overloaded.

The cervical vertebrae of women is characterized by high activity and the presence of a large number of nerve fibers acting as conductors between the brain and other organs. Deformation of the disc causes rapid pressure on the roots of nerve fibers. Roughly speaking, women have thinner vertebrae and thinner bone tissue.

Important!Pregnancy followed by child care also exacerbates the problem. During pregnancy, the load on the spine increases, and breastfeeding in an uncomfortable position and constant holding of the baby in arms is the cause of the exacerbation of the disease.

There are several stages in the development of cervical osteonecrosis:

1. Decreased position of the spine due to dehydration of the medullary nucleus (the inner part of the disc, normally, will be filled with semi-fluid and colloidal tissues).
2. Ligaments and muscles sag, which is the cause of an imbalance, that is, displacement of the vertebrae.
3. protrusion of a disc (outward appearance of a disc) and osteoarthritis.
4. The human body is trying to help the spine return the "loose" vertebrae in place, removing supportive and protective barriers. Therefore, bone-forming substances appear on the vertebrae - the site of bone growth. Fibrous tissue also develops. As a result, the motor segment of the spine is in a type of shell that blocks it from functioning.

Causes of disease in women

It is believed that the appearance of cervical necrosis in women is related to salt deposition, but it is not. It is bone necrosis that is the main cause of salt deposits. Scientists believe that there are many causes that lead to the appearance of osteonecrosis of the cervix. Let's look at the main ones:

• The climax. In fact, less and less progesterone enters the body, as does the muscles of the cervix. All this leads to weakening of the spinal part;
• Impaired immune system, frequent illness;
• Overweight;
• Circulatory disorders;
• Defects of vertebral arteries arise from congenital trauma, infection, and heredity;
• Sedentary, especially sitting in front of a computer;
• Flat feet;
• Incorrect posture;
• Smoking and drinking too much alcohol;
• Excessive exercise;
• Severe spinal load during pregnancy;
• Wrong and unbalanced nutrition;
• Poor metabolism, metabolic problems;
• Any damage to the neck;
• Rheumatism or trauma;
• Hormonal disorders in the body;
• Hypothermia;
• Heredity.

Excess weight puts extra strain on the ligaments and joints, and leads to cardiovascular problems.

Why is cervical bone necrosis dangerous?

Lack of treatment can leave a woman disabled. If you don't start necrosis treatment on time, there is a risk of complications - mild to severe:

1. Constant headache, dizziness.
2. Frequent sudden loss of consciousness.
3. Hearing and vision problems.
4. Blood circulation in the brain area is impaired.
5. Frequent increase in blood pressure.
6. Problems can start in the central nervous system: impaired speech, coordination, and behavioral disturbances.
7. Root inflammation and other diseases of the back.
8. The ships will be squeezed in the brain part.
9. Movement of vertebrae.
10. A walking disorder caused by stenosis of the spinal cord.
11. Herniation and bulging disc.
12. Schmorl's hernia.

An increase in blood pressure in osteonecrosis may be related to poor blood permeability in arteries en route to the brain. Pinched artery occurs due to bone necrosis.

Examination and treatment

Fibroids have many symptoms that are common to other diseases, so before treatment, the neurologist listens carefully to the patient and collects the medical history.

Then diagnostic tests are done:

• X-ray.Using an x-ray of the cervical spine, the doctor determines the location of the disease. In the photo, he will see a change in the shape of the vertebrae, the presence of bone-forming cells, and the narrowing of the disc.
• Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Today these are the most effective ways to find out which defects exist and where in the spine.
• Biography.To test, a contrasting liquid is injected into the spinal canal. Unsafe procedure: patient may be allergic and at risk of spinal cord damage if puncture is unsuccessful. However, with cervical necrosis, such a study is rarely done, unless you need a full view of the spine.

MRI will help to accurately diagnose and determine the extent of the pathology.

To cure cervical bone tumors, the doctor appoints complex treatment. The goal of therapy is to reduce muscle spasm, relieve pain, and reduce pressure in the muscles. At different stages of disease development, different types of therapy are used.

Usually, the treatment goes through stages:

1. Medicines.Recovering cartilage tissue using chondroprotectors. To supply blood in the brain, vasodilators are used. All of the above will eliminate inflammation, pain syndromes and improve metabolic processes in the intervertebral discs. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs in the form of gels or tablets are used for first aid. They may prescribe nootropics and drugs with magnesium. With osteonecrosis, you can take sedatives, as prolonged illness can cause stress and depression. Sometimes it is enough to drink just one tincture or valerian.
2. Physiotherapy.To eliminate disorders in the affected areas of the spine, reduce pain syndromes, improve blood circulation. Good massage from a qualified professional, electrophoresis with anesthetic solutions, as well as laser therapy can help during the early stages of the development of the disease. The procedures reduce muscle tension and stimulate blood circulation. In severe cases, magnetic therapy, dynamic diady current, ultrasound, electromechanical and ultraviolet radiation are used. Physiotherapy was effective after the 3rd course, overall condition improved, insomnia, headache and tinnitus were eliminated.
3. Manual therapy.The treatment was effective and many are grateful. The chiropractor will return the vertebrae to their position for several sessions, giving them their ability to move and correct posture.
4. Acupuncture.It is also known as acupressure. The aim is to affect a dystrophic transformation in muscle tissue, eliminate inflammation and pain, and normalize blood circulation. Women with a low pain score have a good chance of recovering, their lymphatic flow is accelerated, and their blood flow is normal.
5. Orthopedic treatment.Specialists prescribe special sleeping pillows for spinal pain relief. Underwater spinal stretching (traction) is also recommended to relax muscles after the action of warm water. Traction force involves the use of different devices to expand the disc space.

6. Proper nutrition and cleanliness.By providing the body with healthy fats, carbohydrates and proteins, as well as minerals and vitamins, women can significantly speed up the healing process.
7. Physical activity.The doctor can prescribe both physical therapy exercises and special exercises for the neck spine. Physical education aimed at restoring motor nape and blood supply. It corrects posture and strengthens the muscle corset's strength. Also, regular exercise, such as in the gym, will prevent cervical degeneration from progressing.
8. Wear a bra.There is a special device for the cervical spine called a necklace. It is hard and stable. Wearing necklaces will eliminate pain syndromes, improve posture and speed up recovery.

When choosing a collar, you need to choose the correct product height. To do this, you need to measure the distance from the collarbone to the angle of the lower jaw.

Home treatment

In order for the disease not to manifest or be diagnosed at an early stage, women need to closely monitor their health, diet and activities.

To alleviate the illness, at home you can use folk formulas:

1. Crush the peeled potatoes on a fine mill, add a small amount of honey and mix well. The resulting mixture must be applied to the cervical spine, where it hurts most. Repeat treatment once a week.
2. Wash the leaves of the horseradish leaves and apply it on the acne-prone skin. Fix the gauze with a bandage and sleep with it all night. Usually in the morning, you can feel relief and improve. For greater effectiveness, the procedure should be repeated for 3 days or more.

Should do neck exercises to strengthen the neck muscles and restore mobility to the spine. Exercises can be done as a backup, but you should exercise regularly, do not move suddenly so that muscle spasms do not occur:

1. Leaning forward.Sit, place one palm on your forehead and tilt your head forward while against your palms. One tilt - 10 seconds. After a short break, repeat the exercise again.
2. Tilt to the side.Sit with a palm resting on your head against your temples. Tilt your head to the side while pressing down with your palms, trying to resist. Continue for 10 seconds. After resting, repeat the exercise.
3. Turn to the side.Sit in a chair or stand, lowering your arms along your torso. Gently turn your head to the extreme right position, then turn your head to the extreme left position. Repeat 10 times.
4. Raise your shoulders.Sit or stand with your hands down along the body, raise your shoulders as much as possible and hold this position for 10 seconds. Next, lower your shoulders, take a deep breath, and relax for 15 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
5. Leaning against the chest.Sit or stand, hands down along the body. Gently lower your head, trying to squeeze your chin against your chest as much as possible. With good mobility of the cervical vertebrae, you can feel the chest groove with the chin. Repeat about 10 times.
6. Touch your ear to your shoulder.Turn your head back. Try to touch your left ear with your left shoulder, repeat 5 times. Do the same with the right side.
7. Tilt down.Drop your chin on your neck. Turn your head 7 times to the left, then 7 times to the right.
8. Anti-neck muscles. Throw your head back, but not completely. Slowly press your chin against your chest, overcoming the resistance of the muscles of the cervix. Do it continuously 5-7 times.
9. Swing your arm.It is necessary to make circular motions with both hands in one direction, then in the other.
10. Massage.Massage the area between the occipital bone on his own or on his own, in the conditional junction of the head and neck. The impact must be strong enough, do it within 4 minutes.

Important!In the case of cervical bone necrosis, you should not perform circular movements with your head, as this can lead to trauma.

Precautions

1. Doctors say that preventing necrosis of the cervical spine must take place even in the uterus, during embryonic development. The expectant mother has an obligation to rule out risk factors related to the future fetal disease, to monitor the health for uterine infection, hypoxia and poisoning.
2. Both mother and father need to monitor the child's injury and consult a doctor for a timely diagnosis to rule out possible complications in the future.
3. It is very important for girls and adult women to pay attention to the prevention of cervical necrosis, as it is worth making changes to your lifestyle. You need to start walking a lot, taking at least 10 thousand steps a day, gradually increasing your time of walking. If your work activity involves a sedentary lifestyle, you need to do simple office exercises at your desk, as well as get up, warm up and walk every hour. Sit on a high chair with headrest. It is important to avoid overly soft furniture as the body must be supported by ischial tuberculosis.
4. When driving a car, it is important that your back is well supported, you can place the roller between the lower back and the saddle. Try to keep your head upright and sit comfortably.
5. Being in the same place in front of your computer monitor and TV monitor is harmful. From time to time, you need to change positions so that the muscles can be flexible.
6. For people with cervical necrosis, it's best to do household chores like ironing or cooking while sitting.
7. To prevent bone necrosis, it is necessary to prevent excessive stress on the spine and neck spine. Bags and packages should be carried in both hands or alternately. When working in a vegetable garden or garden, every 1 or 5 hours you need to rest 20 minutes and rest, preferably in a horizontal position.
8. To reduce the shock of walking, choose orthopedic shoes or comfortable shoes with elastic soles.

9. During the cold season, women should protect the neck area from hypothermia with a scarf and a hat.
10. The mattress should be sturdy and you can also place it under your lower back, knee joint or under your abdomen, depending on location.
11. To prevent bone necrosis, it is recommended to take a general health enhancement massage course. It will help prevent the onset of the disease, as well as cure the disease in the early stages.
12. It is important that women deal with stress and monitor psychological stability, as a nerve shock can damage the cervical spine.
13. In order to prevent disease, it is important to eat foods good for the spine, to synthesize its cartilage tissue. Proteins, mucopolysaccharides, minerals, vitamins can be obtained from meat, legumes, nuts, vegetables, gelatin, fish, eggs, cheese.

When choosing a mattress that is right for you, you should take into account many factors, such as skin complexion, height, weight, fillers and most importantly, the degree of development of osteonecrosis.

Important!Swimming in swimming pools or lakes is a very helpful activity for women with cervical fibroids. But it is better to refuse to take baths and saunas during the exacerbation.

Cervical fibroids are diseases of all women, the problem is caused by a sedentary lifestyle. These are many occupations: accountant, cashier, tailor, musician, writer and others. In the period of remission, women should go to convalescence and convalescence clinics, where they can strengthen the neck muscles, blood vessel system and improve their fitness. Seeing your doctor in time is the key to a successful recovery.
