1. Ultrasound diagnosis of small pelvis. The most clearly allows you to detect benign neoplasms, even in the early stages of development.
2. Hysteroscopy. Defines the uterine deformity and the presence of repeated changes in the nodes. This type of diagnosis is required to monitor the course of the pathology during the treatment period.
3. Oncomarkers. The blood test should be taken in order to determine the malignant or benign nature of the tumor.

Based on the results of the studies, the doctor determines the diagnosis and selects the most effective treatment in each individual case.

Interstitial uterine myoma and pregnancy

It is almost impossible to conceive a child with this diagnosis. This is due to the compression of the fallopian tubes by the formed nodes, which prevent the sperm from entering the ovum.

If, however, the woman managed to get pregnant, then the presence of a benign tumor in the uterus can lead to miscarriage or premature birth. In this case, the pregnant woman has periodic bleeding. Therefore, during the planning period of the child, a woman needs to undergo a thorough examination. If an interstitial uterine myoma has been found after this, it is necessary to eliminate it before conception.

Treatment of pathology without surgery

The doctor prescribes a medicamental way of treatment on the basis of such factors:

• uterine myoma small;
• absence of pronounced symptoms;
• pre-climax period;
• Contraindications to surgical intervention.

Drug therapy with a benign neoplasm is a treatment with hormones. For this, such tablets are used: Yarina, Utrozhestan, Norcolut, Danazol, Zoladex, Decapeptil and others. They contribute to resorption of the tumor.

Ablation is another method of treating pathology without surgery. Its essence consists in removing the fibroid by means of an ultrasound beam. This method has many positive differences, namely:

• the least degree of injury;
• no need to use anesthesia;
• the possibility of getting pregnant in the future;

For the treatment of interstitial fibroids, an operative route requires a number of indications, such as:

• large size of the neoplasm;
• heavy bleeding;
• infertility;
• a rapid increase in the tumor;
• swelling of the ovaries.

The most common and safe way to remove myomas surgically is laparoscopy. The essence of such an operation is to remove the tumor through a small incision on the abdominal wall.

The rehabilitation period is about 6 months. At this time, you should avoid physical exertion, weight lifting, and intimacy. After the time has elapsed, it is necessary to do a second examination, which should show the woman's full recovery.
