The size of uterine fibroids varies greatly, from a small diameter of less than 1 cm, like the size of a soybean, to a large one that weighs dozens of kilograms, far exceeding the size of a full-term pregnant abdomen. The number of fibroids varies, from as few as a hair to as many as hundreds. Small uterine fibroids have no obvious symptoms, while large fibroids often have some conscious symptoms.

Symptoms of larger uterine fibroids:

Frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, or constipation:

When the fibroids grow forward or backward, they can compress the bladder, urethra, or rectum, leading to frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention, or constipation. When the fibroids grow on both sides, they will form broad ligament fibroids, compressing the ureter or hydronephrosis; if they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they will cause edema in the lower limbs.

2. 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.

3. Secondary anemia:

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, and palpitations.
