Check out the symptoms of uterine fibroids. If these 5 symptoms appear, you should seek timely treatment.

Uterine fibroids are an invisible killer of female patients' health. Therefore, female friends are reminded to be vigilant. Let's take a look at the symptoms from gynecologists:

1. Anemia

Patients with uterine fibroids often experience menstrual changes, and due to heavy blood loss, they may suffer from secondary anemia, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, pale complexion and other symptoms.

Sudden changes in menstruation

The menstrual flow is heavy, the menstruation is prolonged, some patients have menstruation for about 15 days, or even longer, the menstrual cycle is shortened, etc. The symptoms of submucosal uterine fibroids are early and severe, such as ulcer infection and irregular vaginal bleeding, which bring great pain to patients.

3. Pain

Most uterine fibroids do not cause pain. When the fibroids are large, lower abdominal swelling and back pain may occur. When submucosal uterine fibroids stimulate uterine contractions, they can cause crampy abdominal pain. When a pedunculated subserosal uterine fibroid is torsion, acute abdominal pain may occur. Red degeneration of fibroids during pregnancy can cause severe abdominal pain.

4. Abdominal mass

Most patients can feel a lump in the lower abdomen when their bladder is full before getting up in the morning, and patients often seek medical attention and discover uterine fibroids.

5. Compression symptoms

When fibroids grow larger, they can compress nearby organs and cause various symptoms. For example, fibroids on the anterior wall of the uterus can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination and urine retention; fibroids on the posterior wall of the uterus can compress the rectum, causing constipation; fibroids in the broad ligament can compress the ureter, causing ureteral hydronephrosis.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of uterine fibroids. If you find that you have uterine fibroids, you should go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid causing greater harm to your body.
