Common symptoms of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis

Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are both common gynecological diseases, but many female friends do not really understand the symptoms of these two diseases, and are even easily confused. Experts say that although uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are both terrible gynecological diseases, there are differences between the two, both in terms of their symptoms and treatment methods. So, let's first understand the common symptoms of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis.

Common symptoms of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis

Uterine fibroids symptoms

1. Menstrual changes: Women should have regular menstruation in their lives, but when affected by diseases such as uterine fibroids, abnormal symptoms of irregular menstruation are inevitable. Shortened cycles, increased menstrual flow, and prolonged menstruation are the main manifestations.

2. Heavy bleeding: When suffering from multiple uterine fibroids, heavy bleeding is likely to occur, such as excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and anemia. At this time, it cannot be treated with medication and can only be solved by surgical resection.

3. Compression symptoms: When uterine fibroids grow to the size of a fist, they will involve other organs in the pelvis, causing damage and compression to other organs in the pelvis. Surgery can eliminate the symptoms, and it should be noted that the chance of deterioration after the fibroids become larger is much greater than that of small fibroids.

4. Infertility: After the appearance of uterine fibroids, it will affect women's fertility. After infertility occurs, if there are no problems in other examinations, you can check whether uterine fibroids cause female infertility. Multiple uterine fibroids can easily cause habitual miscarriage, so this is a reminder for female friends who want to have a baby.

The most common symptoms of adenomyosis

1. Dysmenorrhea

Because the female uterine muscle layer has a relatively tight structure, it will cause massive bleeding of ectopic endometrial tissue in the muscle layer, often causing increased tension in the uterus. Sometimes the uterine smooth muscle will spasm and contract, and symptoms of dysmenorrhea will often occur and worsen month by month.

2. Discomfort during sexual intercourse

For women with adenomyosis, the ectopic endometrium in the pelvic cavity often forms nodular lesions in the rectouterine pouch. If the cervix collides with the uterus during sexual intercourse, symptoms of dyspareunia will occur due to the lifting.

3. Abnormal menstruation

The menstrual volume will increase, the menstrual period will be prolonged, and there will be a small amount of bleeding in the uterus. Abnormal menstruation may be related to anovulation of the ovaries, corpus luteum insufficiency, or concurrent adenomyosis.

4. Infertility

This is mainly because ectopic endometrial tissue can cause extensive adhesions in the pelvis, often resulting in fallopian tube obstruction, leading to female infertility.

The uterus is one of the most important organs of women, and its health directly affects pregnancy. When there are serious problems with the uterus, it may lead to infertility. The common symptoms of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis introduced in detail above are hoped to help women detect the onset of the disease early, detect the disease early, and better treat the disease.
