Fibroid degeneration changes noncancerous uterine growths (fibroids) with different types, causing unique symptoms and complications.
Fibroid degeneration has five types:
1. **Red:** Common in pregnancy, causing pain due to blood supply disruption.
2. **White:** Tissue becomes pale and calcified, leading to discomfort.
3. **Hyaline:** Older fibroids turn dense and white, often symptomless.
4. **Cystic:** Develops fluid-filled cysts, causing pain and swelling.
5. **Necrobiosis:** Rare, with tissue death causing severe pain and fever.
Symptoms of fibroid degeneration vary in type and severity, including pelvic pain, pressure, and discomfort. Treatment options vary from pain management to surgery; consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and care if you suspect fibroids or have symptoms.
