Symptoms of uterine fibroids that need to be understood in detail

In order to prevent uterine fibroids from causing serious harm to patients, early detection of symptoms and timely treatment are crucial. So what are the main symptoms of uterine fibroids ?

1. Menstrual changes: When tumors grow in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and choriocarcinoma, menstrual abnormalities may occur, including excessive menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual duration, and spotting. Certain ovarian tumors, such as granulosa cell tumors and theca cell tumors, can secrete estrogen, interfere with the menstrual cycle, and cause menstrual abnormalities. For example, long-term excessive menstrual flow caused by fibroids can lead to secondary anemia, which in severe cases can manifest as general fatigue, pale complexion, and shortness of breath.

2. Postmenopausal bleeding: In the first year of amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding may occur occasionally. If vaginal bleeding occurs after amenorrhea for more than one year, it is called postmenopausal bleeding. There are many reasons for postmenopausal bleeding. In most cases, it is caused by benign diseases, but the possibility of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer should never be ignored, although the amount of bleeding is not much.

3. Tumors: They can grow in any part of the reproductive organs. They are usually discovered by accident. Even if these tumors have no symptoms, they are abnormal and are mostly tumors.

4. Abdominal pain: Ovarian tumor torsion, rupture or infection, submucosal uterine fibroids prolapse from the cervical os or fibroid degeneration can all cause severe lower abdominal pain, which is also one of the symptoms of uterine fibroids.

5. Changes in diet and urination: The initial manifestations of ovarian cancer may only be abdominal distension and gastrointestinal symptoms. Tumor compression or invasion of the bladder and rectum can cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, dry stools, etc.

I hope that the above five aspects of the introduction to the symptoms of uterine fibroids will be helpful to everyone. In daily life, if you find any of the above symptoms, go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time to avoid delaying the disease and affecting treatment. I hope everyone can maintain a healthy body and avoid the occurrence of uterine fibroids.
