Womb Fibroids are Non Cancerous Symptomless ones don’t need treatment. UnderSkilled Drs can make issues worse by using morcellators, in minimal surgery, spreading fibroid fragments which regrow or by using Hysterectomy as 1st Choice No💊cures fibroids,💊Progestins may fuel growth

What You Need to Know About #Fibroids? Explained by Dr Cathryn Chan 2013. It’s pre Morcellator restriction but #Myomectomy types, Fertility effects & What fibroids are, is useful @mhchealthcare @FibroidForumUK @lakehealthwell @fibroidforum @YouTube 🎥Video youtu.be/7gXQvziZH7Q

#Endometriosis is often diagnosed during or after #Fibroids surgery or following Fibroids #Adenomyosis, or Hysterectomy, open morcellation. The relationship between the Conditions, needs more research & Definition #MedTwitter #Obgyn #Exposome #Leiomyomatosis #Dissemination @HQIP

A @greenjrnl study suggests 87% of women with symptomatic #Fibroids & pain, were also found to have Endometriosis Shared issues,but Treatments are often not effective for both. Good Diagnosis can show issues. Ultrasound can also find #Fibroids @FTWW_Wales pdfs.journals.lww.com/greenjournal/2…

DES💊 was linked to the Development of Breast Cancer, Uterine cancer & the development of uterine #fibroids & #Endometriosis & later infertility issues but it is rarely mentioned as a Risk Factor in patient info. @RCObsGyn #EDCs @DES_Journal #HumanExposome #Exposome #Metabolomics

#Diethylstilbestrol #DES was an estrogen mimic prescribed in the 1940-1970s to some pregnant women to prevent miscarriage. But research showed it could increase breast cancer risk in women & affect the reproductive ability of their daughters doi.org/10.1002/bdrc.2… @DES_Journal

Risk Factors for increased #Fibroids are same as #Endometriosis: Epigenetics ie #DES 💊Exposure, PFAS, BPA,Soy Products -Genetics -Previous Surgery with Morcellation -Autoimmune theories -Progestins +Combos Better Cause, Research Needed @endoAPPG @APPGFDNH #Exposome #Metabolomics

Theres many types of #Endometriosis ie: -Hereditary - can be present without previous surgery & Iatrogenic Endometriosis by Drs Treatment ie Open Electric Morcellation ie #Fibroids Surgery or Epigenetic - ie by Synthetic Endocrine (Hormone) Disruptors ie #DES💊exposure Diet:Soy

A Study found that return to fertility was clinically & statistically reduced in African American after IUD Removal There is no evidence that IUDs improve womb health or fertility #ContraceptionStories @EMA_News @MHRAgovuk @RCObsGyn @TheBSGE #Exposome

Study: Fertility after IUD Device Removal. No difference in pregnancy rates in former IUD users vs other contraception users But, there was a clinically & statistically significant fertility reduction in African American women @Bayer @EMA_News #ReproTox tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.310…

There is an increased Risk of Ovarian Cysts with Mirena IUDs. 10-20% Risk Often when Drs quote a 1% Risk of Complications, they are referring to the Risk of Pregnancy, not the Risk of other Side Effects when used to treat Menstrual Disorders. #Fibroids increases Side Effect Risks

Progestin IUDs in the 6 weeks after birth has higher risks of: -womb failing to contract back to original size -#Fibroids not regressing -IUD Perforation if breastfeeding -Masking Postpartum Bleeding -Postpartum depression Theres been @MHRAgovuk #PatientSafety warnings #Exposome

They should Review & Safety Audit the Higher Safety Risks of Postpartum IUDs under 6 wks, which can lead to failing to detect postpartum bleeding & prevent Involution (contraction) of the womb. Manufacturers & Regulators advise against it @RCObsGyn @FigoHQ bayer.ca/omr/online/mir…

If used in women with #fibroids & /or postpartum mothers, the IUD failure rate, will be much higher, due to higher perforation, migration & expulsion rates Most #Fibroids patient are not warned about this. Women should be counselled on Risks/Benefits by their Healthcare Provider

IUD Implant, Poor position/Migration/ Displacement can lead to: -Pain -Heavy bleeding & between periods -Pregnancy with/without IUD Ultrasound can detect IUD position @RadioGraphics @rcgp @GPonlinenews @gpconsortia @InnerUfilm @HysteroscopyA #Mirena pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.11…

Study suggests that Previous Gyne Pelvic Surgery &/or Bowel Issues was a Higher Risk Factor for the presence of #Endometriosis outside womb than genetics alone. There should be an Audited Review to identify Best Surgical Techniques to reduce Endo tissue spread #Exposome @RCObsGyn

There’s an Increased Risk of Endometriosis in infertile women reporting: Diarrhea Pelvic Surgery History especially laparoscopy+laparotomy Pelvic pain Family history of endometriosis Fatigue Breast Discharge Premenstrual Spotting Dysmenorrhea Dyspareunia ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Women should be given Full Informed Consent for Hysteroscopic Myomectomy, Vaginal Myomectomy/ Hysterectomy & Endometrial Resection, on the Risk of Open Morcellation, spreading removed, Benign or Cancerous, Fibroid fragments, into the abdomen Most Patients aren’t warned

A🇬🇧NHS National Morcellation Gyne Drs Survey found recommendations breached: 1/3 of hospitals did No biopsy/MRI 80% consented for power morcellation 80% gave No Patient leaflets 45 % did No Audit @rebeccamallick @Jimi_Odejinmi @RCObsGyn @TheBSGE #RCOG2020 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31778905

A new study has found a significant link between pesticide exposure and an increased risk of cancer. The research highlights how certain chemicals used in agriculture can contribute to the development of various cancers. thehill.com/policy/energy-…

Recent research highlighted by @EHNewsroom has found toxic metals, including nickel, chromium, and cobalt, in tampons. These metals can pose health risks, especially considering the sensitive nature of the area of use. ehn.org/toxic-metals-i…

For women with #Fibroids who are Actively, attempting Pregnancy, #Mirena, Ulipristal Acetate, #Esmya, Elagolix, Ryeqo, Relumina, Orlissa, Endometrial Ablation, NSAIDS are NOT recommended. All💊for any condition should be reviewed by Expert Prescribing Doctor for pregnancy safety

We are concerned about the no. of patients in the Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Audit, experiencing new symptoms ie Pain ➕new issues PostOp, particuarly with endometrial ablation. Retrospective HMB Audit needed & Myomectomy not mentioned in #RCOG2019 abstract obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…
