What harm will multiple uterine fibroids cause? Are multiple uterine fibroids still benign tumors?

There are many types of uterine fibroids, and multiple uterine fibroids are also one of them. Although this is also a benign tumor, women should treat it in time to avoid more harm. So what are the hazards of multiple uterine fibroids! Let us know together!

1 Malignant lesions

Generally, uterine fibroids are benign, but a few can cause malignant changes. Patients with postmenopausal fibroids who grow rapidly or have postmenopausal fibroids should be more vigilant.

2. Secondary anemia

Because patients with uterine fibroids have long-term menorrhagia, they may develop secondary anemia and even anemic heart disease. In severe cases, they may suffer from general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath and palpitations.

3. Infertility and miscarriage

Uterine fibroids compress the entrance of the fallopian tube, deform the uterus, and hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg, leading to infertility. Even if you get pregnant, it is easy to miscarry.

Introduce postoperative nursing measures for uterine fibroids;

1. Basic care

In the early postoperative period, family members should stay with the patient and closely observe the patient's vital signs, especially changes in body temperature; frequently ask the patient whether he or she has other discomforts, such as nausea, abdominal pain, etc.; also carefully observe the incision for exudation from the dressing, etc.

2. Pain care

In the early postoperative period, patients usually experience incision pain. At this time, family members should help patients distract their attention from the pain, chat with them more, and let them listen to soothing music; on the second day after surgery, patients can be helped to take a semi-recumbent position to relieve pain. If the pain is severe, analgesics can be given according to the doctor's advice.

3. Vulva care

Patients with uterine fibroids should pay special attention to vulva care after surgery, clean it regularly, dry it with a special towel, keep the vulva dry and hygienic, and wash underwear frequently.

4. Psychological care

Medical staff can publicize relevant knowledge about uterine fibroids to patients and their families, eliminate their concerns, enhance their determination and confidence to overcome the disease, and cooperate with treatment to promote physical recovery.
