What should I do if I suffer from uterine fibroids? What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

With the development of society and the improvement of health awareness, more and more female friends have begun to pay attention to the relevant content of gynecological diseases. Especially for diseases with high incidence such as uterine fibroids, understanding their related symptoms plays a very important role in preventing uterine fibroids. Gynecological experts will introduce the symptoms of uterine fibroids.

Low back pain and abdominal pain: Common symptoms include lower abdominal swelling, back pain, etc. In some special cases, acute pain may occur, such as torsion of pedunculated myoma, or red degeneration during pregnancy, which may be accompanied by fever.

Increased vaginal discharge: Intramural fibroids increase the area of ​​the uterine cavity, increase endometrial gland secretion, and are accompanied by pelvic congestion, leading to increased vaginal discharge. If it is a submucosal fibroid, its surface is prone to infection and necrosis, producing a large amount of pus and blood secretions, accompanied by odor.

Menstrual changes: When fibroids enlarge the uterine cavity, increase the area of ​​the endometrium, cause poor uterine contraction or excessive endometrial hyperplasia, or submucosal fibroids, menstruation may be prolonged and menorrhagia may occur. Failure to treat the condition in time may lead to anemia.

Abnormal urination and defecation: If the fibroids are large or grow in the cervix, broad ligament, etc., clinical symptoms of squeezing adjacent pelvic organs may occur, such as constipation, frequent urination, residual urine, ureteral displacement, hydronephrosis, etc.

Abdominal masses: When a lump is large or growing rapidly, it can usually be felt in the middle of the abdomen and is firm in texture, especially in the morning when the bladder is full.

Infertility: About 25%-40% of women suffer from infertility due to compression or twisting of the fallopian tubes by fibroids, which affects their normal function, or deformation of the uterine cavity caused by fibroids, which hinders the implantation of the fertilized egg.
