The method of examination is to lie flat on the bed in the morning, on an empty stomach or after defecation, bend your knees, relax your abdomen, and press your lower abdomen with both hands, from light to deep with breathing, usually from the opposite lower abdomen upwards. If the abdominal mass is large, you will easily feel the mass.

When the disease develops to a certain extent, common symptoms of uterine fibroids include fibroids growing forward or backward, which can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, they form broad ligament fibroids, which compress the ureter and cause hydroureteral or renal pelvis; if they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema.
