What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? Can uterine fibroids cause irregular bleeding?

The symptoms of uterine fibroids are not very obvious in the early stages, but if they are not observed and treated, they will lead to other complications. The following are the symptoms of uterine fibroids, and I hope everyone will pay attention to this aspect in the future.

1) Menstrual changes: The most common symptoms are shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

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

3) Increased leucorrhea: Leucorrhea increases, sometimes with a large amount of pus, blood, and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor.

4) Abdominal pain: 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, redness of the fibroid, severe abdominal pain, and fever may occur.

5) Compression symptoms: When the fibroid grows forward or backward, it can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroid grows to both sides, it will form a broad ligament fibroid, compressing the ureter or hydronephrosis; if it compresses the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, it can cause 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 for a long time, it may lead to secondary anemia, general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, palpitations and other symptoms.

We must pay special attention to some details in life, and choose a regular hospital for treatment when symptoms appear. Only in this way can we promote the recovery of our disease and ensure our health.
