Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women and can occur alone or in multiple places.

The most common symptom of uterine fibroids is vaginal bleeding, which occurs in half or more of the patients, and is manifested as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual cycle, shortened menstrual cycle, etc., accompanied by irregular bleeding. Long-term menorrhagia may even lead to secondary anemia. The details are as follows:

1. Menstruation becomes the most common symptom, such as shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

3. Increased vaginal discharge, sometimes with large amounts of pus, blood, and necrotic tissue.

4. Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain, but often have lower abdominal swelling, back pain, etc. When the subserosal fibroid pedicle is twisted, acute abdominal pain and redness of the fibroid may occur, with severe abdominal pain and fever.

5. When the fibroids grow forward or backward, they will compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, leading to frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, they will form broad ligament fibroids, and when they compress the ureter, they will cause hydroureter or hydronephrosis. If they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they will cause lower limb edema.

6. Fibroids compress the fallopian tubes and cause them to twist or deform the uterine cavity, hindering the implantation of the fertilized egg and leading to infertility.

7. If the patient has excessive menstruation for a long time, it may lead to secondary symptoms such as anemia, general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc.

8. Uterine fibroids with hypoglycemia are also rare. The main symptoms are low fasting blood sugar, loss of consciousness, shock, and the symptoms can completely disappear after glucose injection. After tumor resection, the symptoms of hypoglycemia completely disappear.
