Lower abdominal distension, beware of uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common tumor. The most common manifestations of uterine fibroids include uterine bleeding, vaginal discharge, abdominal mass, compression, etc. Let's ask experts to analyze the manifestations of uterine fibroids in detail.

The most common symptom of uterine fibroids is vaginal bleeding, which occurs in half of the patients or more. Subserosal uterine fibroids usually do not cause vaginal bleeding. When the intramural fibroids are large, they may affect uterine contraction or increase the area of ​​the endometrium, causing excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation. If it is a submucosal fibroid, there will be irregular vaginal bleeding. When the uterine cavity enlarges, the endometrial glands increase, and there is pelvic congestion or inflammation, the leucorrhea will increase. When the submucosal fibroids ulcerate, become infected, bleed, or necrotize, bloody leucorrhea or purulent leucorrhea will occur, and the amount can be large. Abdominal masses are often discovered after they grow out of the pelvic cavity, and are often obvious in the early morning when the bladder is full on an empty stomach.

The pain caused by uterine fibroids manifests as a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen or soreness in the waist and back, which is usually not very serious. If some uterine fibroids are red and degenerated, the abdominal pain will be more severe and accompanied by fever. Severe abdominal pain occurs when the pedicle of the subserosal uterine fibroid is twisted. Different compression manifestations may occur due to different growth locations and sizes. If the fibroids grow on the anterior wall of the uterus, they may compress the bladder and cause frequent and urgent urination. If the fibroids grow on the posterior wall of the uterus, they may compress the rectum and cause constipation. Fibroids occurring in the broad ligament may compress the ureters, internal and external veins, and nerves, resulting in ureteral obstruction, hydronephrosis, lower limb edema, or neuralgic pain, which are manifestations of uterine fibroids.
