What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? Uterine fibroids may cause infertility

According to statistics, about 20% of women in the country suffer from uterine fibroids, but the actual incidence is much higher than this data. At present, its pathogenic factors and pathogenesis are still unclear. In addition, its symptoms are not obvious, or even asymptomatic, so it is difficult to detect. However, as the disease progresses, the symptoms of uterine fibroids will gradually become obvious, as summarized below:

1. Infertility:

A small number of patients with uterine fibroids may suffer from infertility because the uterus is deformed, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg.

2. Pain:

Most people do not feel pain, but a few people experience lower abdominal pain after fibroid infection or uterine deformation.

3. Lumps:

Symptoms of uterine fibroids can include a palpable mass in the lower abdomen, especially when the bladder is full.

4. Sense of oppression:

Most people don’t feel anything. But if the fibroid is located low, even if the tumor is not large, it can compress adjacent organs such as the bladder, making urination difficult; if it compresses the rectum, defecation difficult; if it compresses the ureter, back pain and other symptoms may occur.

5. Menstrual changes:

If your normal menstrual cycle changes, your menstrual blood volume increases, your period becomes longer, and your periods become irregular.

The early stage of uterine fibroids has no effect on the patient, so no treatment is required, but it is best to take some scientific treatment methods. If it is a mid-stage uterine fibroid and there is a trend of continued development, timely treatment is recommended to avoid transformation into a malignant tumor or torsion.
