Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are the most common benign tumors of the female genitalia. Most are asymptomatic, but a few present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal tumors, and compression symptoms. If the pedicle is twisted or other conditions occur, it can cause pain. Common in multiple uterine fibroids

Symptoms of uterine fibroids:

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

1. Menstrual changes: manifested as shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

2. Abdominal mass: abdominal distension, swelling in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a feeling of falling.

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

4. Pain: Generally, patients have no abdominal pain, but often have lower abdominal swelling, back pain, etc. When the pedicle of the subserosal fibroid is twisted, acute abdominal pain may occur, with severe abdominal pain and fever.

5. Compression symptoms: Myomas grow forward or backward, compressing the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When myomas grow on both sides, they form broad ligament myomas, compressing the ureter and causing hydronephrosis; compressing pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, causing lower limb edema.

6. Infertility: 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. Secondary anemia: If the patient has excessive menstruation, it may lead to secondary anemia, general fatigue, pale complexion, palpitations

The dangers of uterine fibroids:

1. Vaginal bleeding: Common symptoms of uterine fibroids are heavy menstruation, shortened and irregular menstruation, and prolonged menstruation. According to the location of the fibroids, intramural fibroids and submucosal fibroids are most likely to cause uterine bleeding, while subserosal fibroids have fewer menstrual changes.

2. Abdominal mass: When the fibroids grow larger, a mass can be felt in the lower abdomen. Especially when the bladder is full, the position of the uterus rises and the mass becomes more obvious.

3. Compression symptoms: compression of the bladder or urethra, frequent urination, urination disorder, uterine fibroids compressing the rectum causing defecation disorder.

4. Pain: severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, leukocytosis, and tumor compression of nerves can cause radiating pain
