General Objectives:

 This study on myoma aims to look into the indispensible information

regarding the disease, its pathophysiology resulting to the theoretical

signs and symptoms and correlate them with those manifested by the

patient

 It is also aims to develop our skills, knowledge and attitude in providing

proper nursing care needed to have an effective nursing management and

list the criteria used for diagnosing myoma

 Develop good Nurse-Patient relationship

Specific Objectives:

In order to meet the general objective of the study, the ff intended to be done:

 To be able to acquire knowledge regarding myoma through research

 To be able to develop a better understanding on the use of medications

and its implication on the treatment of myoma

 To be able to implement the appropriate plan of nursing management for

patients with myoma

• Classification of Myomas

1. Intramural. Found in the uterine wall, surrounded by myometrium. Clinical

manifestations include increased uterine size, vaginal bleeding between menses and

dysmennorrhea

2. Submucosal. Located directly under the endometrim, involving the endometrial cavity.

May become pedunculated (grow on a stalk). Clinical manifestations include prolonged

vaginal bleeding and cramps and the tumor may be seen protruding through the cervix.

3. Subserosal. Found on the outer surface (under the serosa) of the uterus. Tends to

become pedunculated, to wander, and to be multiple and large. Clinical manifestations

include backache, constipation and bladder problems.

4. Wandering or parasitic. A pedunculated leiomyoma that twists on its pedicle, breaks

off, then attaches to other tissues, particularly the omenum.

5. Intraligamentary. Implants on the pelvic ligaments. May be displace the uterus or

involve the ureters.

6. Cervical. Occur infrequently and may obstruct the cervical canal

IV. Definition of Disease/Introduction

Myomatous or fibroid tumors of the uterus are estimated to occur in 20%

to 40% of women during their reproductive years. It is thought that women are

genetically predisposed to develop this condition, which is almost always

benign. Fibroids arise from the muscle tissue of the uterus and can be solitary

or multiple, in the lining (intracavitary), muscle wall (intramural), and outside

surface (serosal) of the uterus. They usually develop slowly in women

between 25 and 40 years of age and may become quite large. A growth spurt

with enlargement of the fibroid tumor may occur in the decade before

menopause, possibly related to anovulatory cycles and high levels of

unopposed estrogen. Fibroids are a common reason for hysterectomy

because they often result in mennorrhagia, which can be difficult to control.

 VI. Anatomy and Physiology

Ovaries

The paired ovaries (o-vah-rez) are pretty much the size and shape of almonds.

An internal view of an ovary reveals many tiny saclike structures called ovarian

follicles. As a developing egg within a follicle begins to ripen or mature, the follicles

enlarges and develops a fluid-filled central region called an antrum. At this stage, the

follicle , called a vesicular or Graafarian follicle, is a mature and the developing egg

is ready to be ejected from the ovary, an even called ovulation. After ovulation, the

ruptured follicle is transformed into a very different-looking structure called corpus

luteum, which eventually degenerates. Ovulation generally occurs every 28 days,

but can occur more or less frequently in some women. In older women, the surfaces

38
of the ovaries are scarred and pitted, which attests to the fact that many eggs have

been released.

Duct System

The uterine (fallopian) tubes, uterus, and vagina form the duct system of the

female reproductive tract.

Uterine (Fallopian) Tubes

The uterine (u’ter-in), or fallopian (fal-lo’pe-an) tubes form the initial part of the

duct system. They receive the ovulated oocyte and provide a site where fertilization

can occur. Each of the uterine tubes is about 10 cm (4 inches) long and extends

medially from an ovary to empty into the superior region of the uterus. Like the

ovaries, the uterine tubes are enclosed and supported by the broad ligament. Unlike

in the male duct system of the testes there is little or no actual contact between the

uterine tubes and the ovaries. The distal end of each uterine tube expands as the

funnel-shaped infundibulum, which has fingerlike projections called fimbrae (fim’bre-

e) that partially surround the ovary. As an oocyte is expelled from an ovary during

ovulation, the waving fimbrae create fluid currents that act to carry the oocyte into

the uterine tube, where it begins its journey toward the uterus. (obviously, however

many potential eggs are lost in the peritoneal cavity) The oocyte is carried toward

the uterus by a combination of peristalsis and the rhythmic beating of cilia. Because

the journey to the uterus takes 3 to 4 days and the oocyte is visible for up to 24

hours after ovulation, the usual site of fertilization is the uterine tube. To reach the

oocyte, the sperm must swim upward through the vagina and uterus to reach the

39
uterine tubes. This is a difficult journey. Because they must swim against the

downward current created by the cilia, it is rather like swimming against the tide.

Uterus

The uterus (u’ter-us “womb”), located in the pelvis between the urinary bladder

and rectum, is a hollow organ that functions to receive, retain and nourish a fertilized

egg. In a woman who has never been pregnant, it is about the size and shape of a

pear. (During pregnancy, the uterus increases tremendously in size to accommodate

the growing fetus and can be felt well above the umbilicus during the latter part of

pregnancy) The uterus is suspended in the pelvis by the broad ligament and

anchored anteriority and posterior by the round and uterosacrial ligaments,

respectively.

The major portion of the uterus is referred to as the body. Its superior rounded

region above the entrance of the uterine tubes is the fundus, and its narrow outlet,

which protrudes into the vagina below, is the cervix.

The wall of the uterus is thick and composed of three layers. The inner layer or

mucosa is the endometrium (en-do-me’tre-um). If fertilization occurs, the fertilized

egg (actually the young embryo the time it reaches the uterus) burrows into the

endometrium of the uterus (this process is called implantation) and resides there for

the rest of its development. When a woman is not pregnant, the endometrial lining

sloughs off periodically, usually about every 28 days, in response to changes in the

levels of ovarian hormones in the blood. This process is called menses.

40
 Vagina

The vagina (vah-ji-nah) is a thin-walled tube 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) long. It

lies between the bladder and rectum and extends from the cervix to the body

exterior. Often called the birth canal, the vagina provides a passageway for the

delivery of an infant and for the menstrual flow to leave the body. Since it receives

the penis (and semen) during sexual intercourse, it is the female organ of copulation.

The distal end of the vagina is partially closed by a thin fold of the mucosa called

the hymen (hi-men). The hymen is very vascular and tends to bleed when it is

ruptured during the first sexual intercourse. However, its durability varies. In some

females, it is torn during a sports activity, tampon insertion, or pelvic examination.

Occasionally, it is so tough that it must be ruptured surgically if intercourse is to

occur.

Menstrual cycle

Although the uterus is the receptacle in which the young embryo implants and

develops , it is receptive to implantation only for a very short period each month. Not

surprisingly this brief interval coincides exactly with the time when a fertilized egg would

begin to implant, approximately 7 days after ovulation. The events of the menstrual, or

uterine cycle are the cyclic changes that the endometrium, or mucosa of the uterus,

goes through month after month as it responds to changes in the levels of ovarian

hormones in the blood.

Since the cyclic production of estrogens and progesterone by the ovaries is, in

turn, regulated by the anterior pituitary gonadropic hormones, FSH and LH, it is

41
important to understand how these “hormonal pieces” fit together. Generally speaking,

both female cycles are about 28 days long (a period commonly called a lunar month),

with ovulation typically occurring midway in the cycles, on or about day 14. The three

stages of menstrual cycle are described next.

• Days 1-5: Menses. During this interval, the functional layer of the thick

endometrial lining of the uterus is sloughing off, or becoming detached from the uterine

wall. This is accompanied by bleeding for 3 to 5 days. The detached tissues and blood

pass through the vagina as the menstrual flow. The average blood loss during this

period is 50 to 150 ml (or about ¼ to ½ cup). By day 5, growing ovarian follicles are

beginning to produce more estrogen.

• Days 6-14: Proliferative stage. Stimulated by rising estrogen levels produced

by the growing follicles of the ovaries, the basal layer of the endometrium regenerates

the functional layer, glands are formed in it, and the endometrial blood supply is

increased. The endometrium once again becomes velvety, thick, and well vascularized.

(ovulation occurs in the ovary at the end of this stage in response to the sudden surge

of LH in the blood.)

• Days 15-28: Secretory stage. Rising levels of progesterone production by the

corpus lutuem of the ovary act on the estrogen-primed endometrium and increase its

blood supply even more. Progesterone also cause the endometrial glands to increase in

size and to begin secreting nutrients into the uterine cavity. These nutrients will sustain

a developing embryo (if one is present) until it has been implanted. If fertilization does

occur, the embryo produces a hormone very similar to LH, which causes the corpus

luteum to continue producing its hormones. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus

42
luteum begins to degenerate towards the end of this period as LH blood levels decline.

Lack of ovarian hormones in the blood causes blood vessels supplying the functional

layer of the endometrium to go into spasm and kink. When deprived of oxygen and

nutrients, those endometrial cells begin to die, which sets the stage for menses to

begin again on day 28.

Although this explanation assumes a classic 28-day cycle, the length of the

menstrual cycle is quite variable it can be as short as 21 days or as long as 40 days.

Only one interval is fairly constant in all females; the time from ovulation to the

beginning of menses is almost always 14 or 15 days.

Hormone production by the Ovaries

As the ovaries become active at puberty and start to produce ova, production of

ovarian hormones also begins. The follicle cells of the growing and mature follicles

produce estrogen, which causes the appearance of the secondary sex characteristics

in the young woman. Such changes includes:

• Development of the breasts

• Appearance of axillary and pubic hair

• Enlargement of the accessory organs of the female reproductive systems

(uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external genitalia)

• Increased deposit of fat beneath the skin in general, and particularly in

the hips and breasts

• Widening and lightening of the pelvis

• onset of menses, or the menstrual cycle

43
 The second ovarian hormone, progesterone, is produced by a special glandular

structure of the ovaries, the corpus luteum. As mentioned earlier, after ovulation occurs

the ruptured follicle is converted to the corpus luteum which looks like and acts

completely different from the growing mature follicle. Once formed, te corpus luteum

produces progesterone (and some estrogen) as long as LH is still present in the blood.

Generally speaking, the corpus luteum has stopped producing hormones by 10 to 14

days after ovulation. Except for working with estrogen to establish the menstrual cycle,

progesterone does not contribute to the appearance of the secondary sex

characteristics. Its other major effects are exerted during pregnancy, when it helps

maintain the pregnancy and prepare the breasts for milk production. (however, the

source of progesterone during pregnancy is the placenta, not the ovaries.)

44
 VIII. Medical/Surgical Management

Book-based

Treatment of uterine fibroids may include medical or surgical intervention and

depends to a large extent on the size, symptoms and location as well as the woman’s

age and her reproductive plans. Fibroids usually shrink and disappear during

menopause, when estrogen is no longer produced. Simple observation and follow-up

may be all the management that is necessary. The patient with minor symptoms is

closely monitored. If she plans to have children, treatment is as conservative as

possible. As a rule, large tumors that produce pressure symptoms must be removed

(myomectomy).

Medical Management

Asymptomatic leiomyomas can be observed every 6 months a practitioner if (1)

the client is not pregnant, (2) there is no excessive bleeding or pressure on the bladder,

bowel, or uterus and (3) the tumor is not rapidly growing.

Medications (e.g., leuprolide [lupron]) or other gonadotropin releasing hormone

(GnRH) analogues, which induce a temporary menopause like environment, may be

prescribed shrink the fibroid. This treatment consists of monthly injections, which may

cause hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Treatment is usually short term9ie, before

surgery) to shrink the fibroids, allowing easier surgery, and no alleviate anemia, which

may occur as a result of heavy menstrual flow. This treatment is used on a temporary

basis because it leads to vasomotor symptoms and loss of bone density.

45
 Antifibrotic agents are under in investigation for long term treatment of fibroids.

Mifepristone, a progesterone antagonist, has also been prescribed; it appears to be

effective.

Surgical Management

Surgical treatment may involve cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid with

uterine artery embolization, laser surgery or myomectomy (removal of a tumor without

removal of the uterus).these procedures preserve the reproductive organs and

reproductive capability. Large leiomyomas may require hysterectomy.

Hysterectomy

Indications: three types of hysterectomy may be performed:

1. Total hysterectomy is a removal of the uterus and cervix, and can be performed

either abdominally or vaginally.

2. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy (TAH-BSO) is the

removal of uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Can be performed

abdominally or vaginally.

3. Radical hysterectomy same as a TAH-BSO plus removal of the lymph nodes,

upper third of the vagina, and parametrium. Usually performed if a malignant

tumor is found.

Contraindications: The only contraindication to hysterectomy is any heath

condition that prevents surgery.

46
 Complications. Hemmorrhage and infection are the primary complications.

Outcomes. It is expected that the client will return home in 2 to 4 days and

resume regular activities within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the type of

hysterectomy performed. Pain, abdominal bleeding, and anemia, if present, will

cease. For all procedures except myomectomy, menstruation ends.

Several other alternatives to hysterectomy have been developed for treatment of

excessive bleeding due of fibroids. These include the following:

 Hysteroscopic resection of myomas: a laser is used through a hysteroscope

passed through the cervix; no incision or overnight stay is needed.

 Laparoscopic myomectomy: removal of a fibroid through a laparoscope

inserted through a small abdominal incision

 Laparoscopic myolysis: a laser or electrical needles are used to coagulate the

fibroid

 Laparoscopic cryomyolysis: electric current is used to coagulate the fibroid

 Uterine artery embolization (UAE): polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin particles are

injected into blood vessels that supply the fibroid via the femoral artery, resulting

in infarction and resulting shrinkages. This percutaneous image-guided therapy

offers an alternative to hormone therapy or surgery.UAE may result in infrequent

but serious complications such as pain, infection, amenorrhea, necrosis and

bleeding. A although rare deaths and ovarian failure may occur. Women need to

weigh the risk and benefits carefully, especially if they have not completed

47
 childbearing, this procedure has been found to cause fewer complications than

hysterectomy, but women may need further treatment in future.

 Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS):

ultrasonic surgery is passed through the abdominal wall to target and destroy the

fibroid. Although not yet widely used, this noninvasive procedure is approved by

the U.S .food and drug administration for premenopausal women with bother

some symptoms due to fibroids and who do not want more children .it is an

outpatient treatment

Surgical Management

Client-based

Vaginal myomectomy involves removing fibroids through the vagina; as with

hysteroscopic myomectomy, therefore, there are no external scars. This operation is done when

the fibroids are moderate in size but too deep or numerous for hysteroscopic or laparoscopic

myomectomy. It is easier in women who have children as there tends to be more space in the

pelvis for this type of surgery.

The procedure is easiest when the fibroid(s) are at the back of the uterus, and most

difficult when they are mainly at the top; in that situation, laparoscopic myomectomy may be

preferred. Because conventional instruments are used, Vaginal myomectomy generally takes

less time than laparoscopic myomectomy and the repair of the uterus is stronger. Recovery in

terms of hospitalisation and return to normal activities is similar, and faster than with

laparotomy.
