Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 What happens to a necrotizing fibroid? I'm assuming that - cut off from its nutrient source - it " dies " , but how does the body cope with it once this happens? Thanks for any info, Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Robyn, From what I know the body " copes " with the dead material by re-absorbing it,or in the case of a fibroid that is able to be expelled from the uterus,it could expell it. Necrotizing happens in other places /conditions in the body.For example after heart attack there is some heart tissue that dies. Necrotizing can give the same symptoms as an infectious process because in effect the dead material is " viewed " by the body as a foreign invader.This means it will set up defenses like a bacterial or viral invader-fever,chills,sweats,high white cell count etc. I hope I have the info right,and that it is helpful Best, Bonnie on wrote: > What happens to a necrotizing fibroid?
