How to self-diagnose whether you have uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are both gynecological diseases and tumor diseases. In medical clinical research, uterine fibroids refer to vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Let's take a look at how to self-check whether you have uterine fibroids .

1. Compression symptoms are one of the common symptoms of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids mainly refer to fibroids located in the lower part of the uterine body and the cervix. If they are incarcerated in the pelvic cavity, they can compress the pelvic tissues and nerves, causing lower abdominal pain and back pain. Uterine fibroids grow forward or backward, which can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. Compression symptoms are the main symptoms of uterine fibroids.

2. Increased menstruation, which mostly occurs in submucosal and intramural fibroids. Patients with uterine fibroids present with menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation or irregular vaginal bleeding. These are typical symptoms of uterine fibroids. The main reasons for increased bleeding due to uterine fibroids are: enlarged endometrial area, endometrial hyperplasia due to the effect of estrogen, fibroids hinder uterine contraction, and affect blood circulation, causing endometrial congestion.

3. Patients with uterine fibroids also have masses in the lower abdomen. When the subserosal or intramural fibroids grow beyond the pelvic cavity, most patients with uterine fibroids can feel the mass themselves and go to the hospital for treatment, which may be accompanied by a feeling of falling.
