Introduction to several common symptoms of uterine fibroids

In real life, some female friends will suddenly feel pain in the lower abdomen. When they touch the abdomen, they will find an obvious lump. This may be uterine fibroids, and they need to go to the hospital for examination in time. What are the common symptoms of uterine fibroids ? The following is a brief introduction to the common symptoms of uterine fibroids.

In general, common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

Abdominal mass: Generally, if there is a mass in the abdomen, the symptoms will be more obvious in the early morning. Many female friends judge that they have uterine fibroids based on this symptom. These patients often have no symptoms, and the mass is more clearly felt when holding urine in the early morning. This is a common symptom of uterine fibroids.

Increased vaginal discharge: This is also a common symptom of uterine fibroids. Normal vaginal discharge should be colorless and odorless. If there is abnormal vaginal discharge, it should be paid attention to. Due to the enlargement of the uterine cavity and the increase of the endometrial area, the secretion of endometrial glands increases. In addition, the growth of uterine fibroids causes congestion of pelvic blood vessels, which causes increased vaginal discharge. Nearly half of patients with uterine fibroids have symptoms of increased vaginal discharge.

Abdominal pain, backache, and a feeling of falling: These are also common symptoms of uterine fibroids. When the pedicle of a subserosal uterine fibroid is twisted, there may be acute abdominal pain. When the uterine fibroid is large, it will compress and pull the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues in the pelvic cavity, and cause blood to accumulate in the pelvic cavity, which will cause swelling in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lower back. The symptoms may be aggravated by fatigue or menstruation due to pelvic congestion. During pregnancy or the puerperium, the small blood vessels in the fibroid undergo degenerative changes, causing thrombosis and hemolysis. The hemoglobin in the blood penetrates into the fibroid tissue, turning the fibroid red, also known as red degeneration of the fibroid. At this time, the patient will experience severe abdominal pain, accompanied by local pressure pain on the fibroid, and fever.

The above are the common symptoms of uterine fibroids, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you have symptoms of uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid delaying the disease and causing more serious harm to the patient.
