Do the symptoms of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts affect leucorrhea?

What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts? Do they affect leucorrhea?

Most patients with uterine fibroids have no obvious symptoms and are only occasionally discovered during pelvic examinations. If symptoms occur, they are closely related to the location of the fibroid, its growth rate, and whether the fibroid has degenerated.

1. Menstrual changes: The most common symptom is shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

2. Abdominal mass: The abdomen is swollen, and a mass can be felt in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a feeling of falling.

3. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea, sometimes with a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor.

4. Pain: Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain, but often have lower abdominal distension, back pain, etc. When the subserosal fibroid pedicle of patients with uterine fibroids is twisted, acute abdominal pain may occur. When the fibroid turns red, the abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by fever.

5. Compression symptoms: When the fibroids grow forward or backward, they can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, they form broad ligament fibroids, which can compress the ureter and cause hydroureteral or renal pelvis. If they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema. Ovarian cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

6. Menstrual disorders Ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not usually cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, but may be caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium.
