 Diagnosis

Uterine fibroids due clinical presentation and Physical exam and Transvaginal Pelvic Ultrasound.

Uterine fibroids (ICD 10: D25.9)

Uterine fibroids are benign uterine tumors of smooth muscle origin. Fibroids frequently cause abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain and pressure, urinary and intestinal symptoms, and pregnancy complications. (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp 2017)

Differential Diagnostic:

1. Uterine rupture is spontaneous tearing of the uterus that may result in the fetus being expelled into the peritoneal cavity. (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp 2017)

2. Uterine prolapse is descent of the uterus toward or past the introitus. Vaginal prolapse is descent of the vagina or vaginal cuff after hysterectomy. Symptoms include vaginal pressure and fullness. (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp 2017)

3. Uterine sarcomas are a group of disparate, highly malignant cancers developing from the uterine corpus. Common manifestations include abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain or mass. (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp 2017)

Plan/Therapeutics & Education:

Medication:

Pharmacologic treatment: 

1. Exogenous progestins: Medroxyprogesterone acetate 5 to 10 mg P/O once/day or megestrol acetate 40 mg P/O once/day taken 10 to 14 days.

3. Antiprogestins: mifepristone, the dosage is 5 to 50 mg once/day for 3 to 6 mo.

4. Tylenol 500 mg P/O q/6-8 hrs as needed for pain.

Non-medication treatments and education

Patient will be instructed on:

Importance to maintain Hand Hygiene, General Hygiene. Diet habits and life style modification Healthy diet, Normal calorie diet or fat, increased fiber and vegetables in diet. Increase physical activity.

Cervical cancer screening should begin approximately 3 years after a woman begins having vaginal inter- course, but no later than 21 years of age. Screening should be done every year with conventional Pap tests or every 2 years using liquid-based Pap tests.

Follow-ups/Referrals:

* Patient need to return to clinic if there is no improvement after 48 hours of treatment, or sooner if their condition is worsening.

* Follow Dr. orders and in case of emergency please call 911 or come to nearest ER.

* Follow up in two weeks to evaluated patient and laboratory testing results.

* Referrals to Gynecologist.

 Evaluation of patient encounter:

Interview process went well, practitioner elaborated the plan of care with patient, and education about Uterine fibroids was provided and patient verbalized understanding.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren’t associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. Fibroids are generally classified by their location. Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular uterine wall. Submucosal fibroids bulge into the uterine cavity. Subserosal fibroids project to the outside of the uterus. May discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.

Many women who have fibroids don’t have any symptoms. In those that do, symptoms can be influenced by the location, size and number of fibroids. In women who have symptoms, the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

• Heavy menstrual bleeding

• Menstrual periods lasting more than a week

• Pelvic pressure or pain

• Frequent urination

• Difficulty emptying the bladder

• Constipation

• Backache or leg pains

Rarely, a fibroid can cause acute pain when it outgrows its blood supply, and begins to die.

Research and clinical experience point to these factors as causes:

• Genetic changes. Many fibroids contain changes in genes that differ from those in normal uterine muscle cells.

• Hormones. Estrogen and progesterone, two hormones that stimulate development of the uterine lining during each menstrual cycle in preparation for pregnancy, appear to promote the growth of fibroids. Fibroids contain more estrogen and progesterone receptors than normal uterine muscle cells do. Fibroids tend to shrink after menopause due to a decrease in hormone production.

• Other growth factors. Substances that help the body maintain tissues, such as insulin-like growth factor, may affect fibroid growth.

• Other medications. Your doctor might recommend other medications. For example, oral contraceptives or progestins can help control menstrual bleeding, but they don’t reduce fibroid size.

Prevention:

By making healthy lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a normal weight and eating fruits and vegetables, you may be able to decrease your fibroid risk.
