Experts tell you the basic symptoms of uterine fibroids!

Do you know the symptoms of uterine fibroids? Whether uterine fibroids have symptoms and their severity are mainly determined by the location, size, number and complications of the fibroids. Some fibroids are small, grow slowly, and have no symptoms, and can remain undetected for a lifetime. Let our experts briefly introduce the symptoms of uterine fibroids to you, hoping to help you!

Experts tell you the symptoms of uterine fibroids:

(1) Abdominal mass: The uterus is located deep in the pelvic cavity, and the mass cannot be felt in the abdomen when the fibroids first appear. When the uterine fibroids gradually increase in size, the uterus exceeds the size of a 3-month pregnancy, or the subserosal fibroids are located at the bottom of the uterus, they are easier to touch from the abdomen.

The mass is located in the middle of the lower abdomen, solid, movable but not very mobile, without tenderness, and grows slowly. If the patient's abdominal wall is thick, the uterus is enlarged, or it exceeds the pelvic cavity or even reaches the size of a 4-5 month pregnancy, it is still difficult for the patient to find it by herself. Therefore, few patients with uterine fibroids seek medical treatment due to abdominal masses. Huge submucosal fibroids prolapse out of the vagina, and patients may seek medical treatment due to prolapse of the vulva. Tumors are often accompanied by infection and necrosis, and such patients are rare in recent years.

(2) Vaginal discharge: Uterine submucosal fibroids or cervical submucosal fibroids can cause increased vaginal discharge. Once the tumor is infected, there may be a large amount of purulent vaginal discharge. If there is ulceration, necrosis, or bleeding, there may be bloody or purulent vaginal discharge with a foul odor.

(3) Compression symptoms: Uterine fibroids can cause compression symptoms of surrounding organs. Uterine anterior wall fibroids close to the bladder can cause bladder irritation symptoms, manifested as frequent urination and urgency; when cervical fibroids grow forward to a considerable size, they can also cause bladder compression and lead to upper pubic discomfort, frequent urination, urinary retention or overflow incontinence; giant cervical anterior lip fibroids fill the vagina and compress the urethra, causing dysuria and even urinary retention. Patients may seek medical attention due to urinary system symptoms.

Uterine posterior wall fibroids, especially giant fibroids in the isthmus or posterior lip of the cervix, fill the vagina and compress the rectum backwards, causing posterior pelvic swelling and constipation. Broad ligament fibroids or giant cervical fibroids develop laterally and embed into the pelvic cavity, compressing the ureter and causing obstruction of the upper urinary tract, resulting in ureteral dilatation and even hydronephrosis. It is rare for lower limb edema to occur due to obstruction of pelvic lymph and venous blood flow caused by fibroid compression.
