Common gynaecological tumour in women:
What is a fibroid tumour?Fibroid tumours are usually benign (non-cancerous) tumours most often found in the uterus, although they occasionally develop in other organs which contain smooth muscle cells. They are the most common gynecological tumour in women. I should think 25 n above may have risk of getting it..

Description of fibroid tumourFibroid tumours are solid tumours which are made of fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumour. Fibroid tumours vary in size and number, are most often slow-growing and usually cause no symptoms. Approximately 25% of fibroid tumours will cause symptoms and need medical treatment.Fibroid tumours may grow as a single nodule or in clusters and may range in size from 1 mm to more than 20 cm in diameter. Fibroid tumours are the most frequently diagnosed tumour of the female pelvis and the most common reason for a woman to have a hysterectomy. Although they are often referred to as tumours, they are not cancerous. The cause of fibroid tumours has not actually been determined, but most fibroids develop in women during their reproductive years. Fibroid tumours do not develop before the body begins producing estrogen. Fibroid tumours tend to grow very quickly during pregnancy when the body is producing extra estrogen. Once menopause has begun, fibroid tumours generally stop growing and can begin to shrink due to the loss of estrogen.Fibroid tumours may be erroneously called fibroid cysts.

Must be wondering how come i suddenly post this kinda info right...hMM today went to hospital to visit this sister from our church who just had an op to remove this cyst,non-cancerous tumour .It was 3.smth cm ..i saw the foto..it was very big to me liao.I asked if it was common for a woman ,and those woman n mummys all said yes..rather common problem.In fact,many women in our church undergo tis op to remove it.I also heard that the cyst can be like 7 cm or 14..whom ppl in church had.hmm..then after i heard it made me ponder quite alot...i dunno how come suddenly i thought of the marriage vow..haa
..doesnt seem to link right..maybe cos tis sis is married ba...but still dun link?
But well...in happy times of cos the couple can be very loving....but in times of bad times like sickness and ill health it's not easy to hold on and walk thru tis life tog,u have to continue to love and care for the person no matter what state the person is in ..till death do us part.it's not anymore abt the romantic feelings during courtship or abt the happy moments preparing for the wedding....it's much more than just that..
..that is what the marriage vow is all about.... it's not easy..
...wen i saw the sis,her hubby took some milo and stir it until it cooled a little den let her drink.though it's a small gesture n help maybe to him,but it's not what we can take for granted of..during her op he didnt stay at the hospital cos will make him more nervous..so he went out for a walk..n then he jokingly said he walked so much n perspired so much that he smell so much that after the op..his wife woke up faster cos of his smelly smell haaa....so funny..yet so sweet...
btw many couples address each other either by name,nickname or darling tis n tt..but she addresses him as her ah lao..heee..everytime i see them..i can somehow taste the sweetness in their marriage..=) May GOd bless her recovery in his time and bless her family n hubby with wisdom and strength to take cr n help her in tis period.if you all happen to know who she is,then pray for her by name ya?=)
