What should women do if they have uterine fibroids? What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids in women?

People often think that uterine fibroids are the natural enemy of women. Once you have uterine fibroids, it is not only difficult to cure in the short term, but also very harmful. Many people can't help but ask, what are the symptoms of uterine fibroids in women? How to effectively prevent it?

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

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.

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.

Abdominal mass: When the mass is large or growing rapidly, it can usually be felt in the middle of the abdomen and is hard, especially in the morning when the bladder is full. This is one of the symptoms of uterine fibroids.

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.

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.
