Experts answer common hazards of uterine fibroids

For most female friends, uterine fibroids are very harmful and seriously harm women's health. So what are the common harms of uterine fibroids ? Here we will tell you about the common harms of uterine fibroids.

In general, the common hazards of uterine fibroids are:

1. Infection and suppuration are the most common hazards of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids can cause pelvic congestion and infection. The infection is mostly caused by the torsion of the tumor pedicle, while blood-borne infection is extremely rare. After infection, a few patients will form abscesses in the tumor tissue, while the rest will show suppuration.

2. Adhesion or inflammation. After the subserosal uterine fibroid pedicle is twisted, intestinal adhesion will occur, which will be infected by intestinal bacteria. The inflamed fibroid will adhere to the uterine appendages, causing suppurative inflammation, which is also a common hazard of uterine fibroids. On the other hand, fibroids can also cause pathogenic bacteria to invade other uterine organs due to bleeding, causing gynecological inflammation such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

3. Free fibroids. Subserosal uterine fibroids can twist at the pedicle, causing acute abdominal pain. If the condition is serious and surgical treatment is not performed immediately, the pedicle may be broken and free fibroids may form. This is also a common hazard of uterine fibroids. Of course, twisted fibroids can also drive the entire uterus, causing axial torsion of the uterus (mostly near the internal opening of the cervical canal).

4. Secondary anemia. The harm of uterine fibroids also includes excessive menstrual bleeding. Over time, it will cause secondary anemia and even promote anemic heart disease. In severe cases, patients will experience adverse symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, palpitations and shortness of breath.

5. Infertility or miscarriage. Uterine fibroids patients suffer from infertility due to the compression of fallopian tube entrance by fibroid tissue in the uterine cornu, which causes the uterus to deform and hinders the implantation of fertilized eggs. In addition, statistics show that the spontaneous abortion rate of fibroid patients is also higher than that of ordinary people, with a ratio of 4:1.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of common uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid serious delays in the disease.
