Symptoms of early uterine fibroids Common treatments for uterine fibroids

Early uterine fibroids are benign tumors composed of uterine smooth muscle tissue. They mainly occur in women of childbearing age. They have a high incidence rate in gynecology and are very harmful to women's health. Let's take a look at the symptoms of early uterine fibroids?

What are the symptoms of early uterine fibroids?

1. 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. If not treated in time, it may lead to anemia.

2. Abdominal mass: When the mass is large or grows too fast, you can usually feel the mass in the middle of the lower abdomen, which is hard in texture, especially in the morning when the bladder is full. Of course, if you want to know what the early symptoms of uterine fibroids are, you still need to look down.

3. Pain: Most patients with uterine fibroids do not feel pain, but a few will experience lower abdominal pain after fibroid infection or uterine deformation.

4. Compression: Among patients with uterine fibroids, most people do not feel anything, but if the fibroid is located low, even if the tumor is not large, it can compress adjacent organs such as the bladder, causing difficulty in urination; if it compresses the rectum, it can cause difficulty in defecation; if it compresses the ureter, symptoms such as back pain may occur.

5. Excessive leucorrhea: Almost all gynecological diseases are related to excessive leucorrhea, and so are uterine fibroids, because it can cause pelvic congestion and infection, which then leads to increased vaginal flow, which mixes with traditional leucorrhea to increase secretion. At this time, most leucorrhea is purulent and accompanied by a fishy smell.

Treatment of uterine fibroids

Drug treatment

The basis of drug treatment for uterine fibroids is that uterine fibroids are a sex hormone-dependent tumor, so antagonist hormone therapy is used, and other androgens, progesterone and vitamin drugs are also used. Experts remind: these two methods are mainly suitable for young people who need to maintain fertility; premenopausal women, fibroids are not large, symptoms are mild; combined with internal medicine, surgical diseases can not be competent for surgery or unwilling to surgery.

Myomectomy

Abdominal hysterectomy is suitable for patients under 40 years old, unmarried or childless. Although they have no fertility requirements, they are unwilling to remove the uterus and need to preserve the uterus. The advantages are that preserving the uterus does not affect ovarian function; people with fertility requirements have the opportunity to become pregnant; and the integrity of the female endocrine axis can be maintained. The postoperative recurrence rate is 25%~35%. The possible reason is that small fibroids leak out after surgery and gradually grow after surgery. In addition, patients have fibroid pathogenic factors and new fibroids. The recurrence rate of multiple fibroids is higher than that of single fibroids.

Vaginal myomectomy is generally suitable for pedunculated submucosal myomas. The operation is simple and safe and does not require hysterectomy.
