How to identify uterine fibroids and how to use medication for uterine fibroids

Uterine disease has always been a major problem affecting women's health. Due to uterine disease and untimely treatment, many women will take a one-size-fits-all approach. But before treatment, we must recognize the severity of uterine fibroids. So, how to determine the severity of uterine fibroid symptoms?

Many patients with uterine fibroids are very concerned about this issue. In fact, not all patients with uterine fibroids have symptoms. Whether uterine fibroids have symptoms and their severity mainly depends on the location, size, number and complications of the fibroids. The larger the fibroids, the more symptoms there are. Some fibroids are small, grow slowly, have no symptoms, and can never be found in a lifetime. However, some fibroids are small and may have symptoms, which is more common in myometrial fibroids because myometrial fibroids are often accompanied by adenomyosis. Most patients come to see a doctor because they have symptoms. Common symptoms of uterine fibroids include menstrual pain, heavy menstrual flow, abdominal lumps, vaginal discharge, compression symptoms, etc.

Patients with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis will experience menstrual pain symptoms. The reason for heavy menstrual flow due to uterine fibroids is that the area of ​​the endometrium increases, contraction is unfavorable, and the endometrial venous plexus is congested and dilated. Sometimes, the rupture and bleeding of angry veins on the surface of the submucosal fibroids will directly lead to heavy bleeding. Uterine fibroids can cause compression symptoms on surrounding organs.

For patients with mild uterine fibroids, most people will undergo conservative drug treatment. The treatment of uterine fibroids is nothing more than drugs and surgery. The specific method needs to be based on the growth location of the uterine fibroids. According to the growth location of the fibroids, it can be divided into three categories: intramural fibroids, subserosal fibroids, and submucosal fibroids. If the first two types are mostly asymptomatic, treatment is generally not required. Especially for people approaching menopausal age, due to the low estrogen level after menopause, the fibroids will naturally shrink or disappear, and only regular check-ups are required. However, when the review finds that the fibroids are enlarged or the symptoms are obvious, further treatment should be considered. Treatment of uterine fibroids must be early. Early treatment will not make the treatment seem so complicated and can allow patients to recover well.
