What are the obvious symptoms of uterine fibroids in women?

What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? It is very helpful for women to understand the symptoms of uterine fibroids for timely treatment. The symptoms of uterine fibroids are closely related to the growth location and size. Now, let the experts give us a detailed introduction to the symptoms of uterine fibroids.

Symptoms of uterine fibroids:

1. Increased menstruation: It often occurs in submucosal and intramural fibroids, and manifests as menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation or irregular vaginal bleeding. The main reasons for increased bleeding are: the area of ​​the endometrium increases, the endometrium proliferates due to the effect of estrogen, the fibroids hinder the contraction of the uterus, and affect the blood circulation, causing endometrial congestion. Due to long-term bleeding, patients often have varying degrees of anemia.

2. Pain: It is relatively rare. In addition to the pain caused by compression of pelvic nerves, pedunculated submucosal fibroids can cause uterine contractions in the uterine cavity and cause pain. When the fibroids block the cervical canal and hinder the outflow of menstrual blood, it can cause dysmenorrhea. When pedunculated subserosal fibroids are twisted or when uterine fibroids undergo red degeneration or infection during pregnancy, they can cause more severe abdominal pain.

3. Compression symptoms: Fibroids located in the lower part of the uterus and cervix, if incarcerated in the pelvic cavity, can compress pelvic tissues and nerves, causing lower abdominal pain and back pain. Fibroids growing forward or backward 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 can 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.

4. Lower abdominal mass: When the subserosal or intramural fibroids grow beyond the pelvic cavity, patients can usually feel the mass themselves and go to the hospital for treatment, which may be accompanied by a feeling of falling.

5. Impact on pregnancy and delivery: Subserosal fibroids generally do not affect conception. When intramural fibroids located in the uterine horns compress the interstitial part of the fallopian tubes, and when submucosal fibroids cause endometrial infection, or when fibroids are complicated by endometrial hyperplasia, they can all cause infertility. If conception is achieved, sometimes insufficient blood supply or narrowing of the uterine cavity can hinder fetal development, causing miscarriage and premature birth. When the pregnancy is full-term, the uterine cavity may be deformed to the point of malposition of the fetus, and fibroids can hinder uterine contractions, causing dystocia and postpartum hemorrhage.

The above are the symptoms of uterine fibroids. We hope that patients can treat uterine fibroids in a timely manner. If you have any questions about the symptoms of uterine fibroids, please consult our online experts.
