Fibroma removal

Fibroids are benign tumors that can form in any part of the body. It is important to know more about them in order to understand what actions to take when this pathology occurs.

What is fibroma

Fibroids can occur in any part of the body, including muscles, joints, and internal organs. Neoplasms of various sizes may develop, from microscopic to large enough to cause discomfort or compression of neighboring organs .

The causes of fibroids have not been fully studied, but it is believed that hormonal factors, genetics, and injuries can influence their development. Some studies indicate that estrogen levels also play a role in the development of pathology.

Fibroma symptoms depend on its size and location. Most often, tumors do not cause concern and are found by chance. Pain, discomfort, and organ dysfunction are possible when the formation has reached a large size.

Types

Fibroids are classified according to various parameters, including their structure, location, and size. The main types are hard and soft, as well as diffuse and limited formations.

Hard fibroids usually consist of dense connective tissue and have clear boundaries. They can be large and cause discomfort or pain. Soft neoplasms are characterized by a more flexible structure and are smaller in size.

Diffuse fibroids are characterized by spreading over a large area of tissue, while limited fibroids occupy a specific, clearly localized space.

How is formation removal performed

Removal can be performed by various methods, depending on the characteristics of the neoplasm and the patient's preferences. The doctor chooses the most appropriate method, taking into account the type of tumor, its location and size:

• Laser removal. One of the safest and most effective methods. The laser allows you to remove tumors of any shape and size without scarring on the skin.

• Removal by electrocoagulation. The tumor is removed using electric current. This technique minimizes the risk of bleeding and complications.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The patient can leave the clinic immediately after its completion.

Complications after surgery

Possible complications include bleeding, infection, and the development of a purulent process. Reactions to anesthesia may also occur. In rare cases, the tumor forms again in the same place. However, the operation is considered low-traumatic, and if all the doctor's recommendations are followed, the risk of complications is minimal.

Recovery after the procedure

Recovery is quite fast. Most patients can return to their normal lives immediately or within a few days, depending on the extent of the intervention. It is important to follow all the doctor's instructions, including taking medications and skin care.

After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid physical activity. Skin care measures depend on the fibroma removal method, and the doctor will tell you about them. If any unusual symptoms occur, such as increased pain, swelling, redness, or discharge from a wound, you should contact a clinic immediately.
