Symptoms of uterine fibroids

What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? Uterine fibroids are a type of female disease, and this disease is also a common disease. For this reason, we must take it seriously. We know that uterine fibroids are a benign tumor, and the causes of this disease are also different. For this reason, we must pay close attention to it. So, what are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

1. Menstrual changes If your menstrual cycle changes, your menstrual blood volume increases, or your period is prolonged, you need to be alert.

2. Pain: Most patients with uterine fibroids do not feel pain, but a small number of people may experience lower abdominal pain after the fibroids become infected or the uterus becomes deformed.

3. Lumps can be felt in the lower abdomen, especially when the bladder is full of urine. The more painless and itchy lumps are, the more you should be wary of them.

4. Feeling of pressure. Most patients with uterine fibroids do not feel anything. However, if the fibroid is located low, even if the tumor is not large, it can compress adjacent organs. For example, if it compresses the bladder, urination difficulties may occur; if it compresses the rectum, defecation difficulties may occur; if it compresses the ureter, symptoms such as back pain may occur.

5. Infertility: A small number of patients with uterine fibroids may be infertile. The reason is that the fibroids cause the uterus to deform, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant.

Experts say that if we don’t treat it well, it’s easy to cause unnecessary harm:

The blood supply of uterine fibroids comes from the myometrium, and its blood vessel wall lacks an outer membrane. Compression of the capsule or pedicle can cause obstruction of the blood supply to the muscle. Liquefaction or cystic change: As the hyaline degeneration continues to develop, it gradually forms many small cavities of varying sizes from liquefaction, and even merges into a large cystic cavity. The cystic muscle is very soft, resembling a pregnant uterus.

Uterine fibroids can cause pathological changes, so what is the incidence of uterine fibroids? The incidence of uterine fibroid degeneration is 0.13%-1.39%, mainly flesh degeneration. At this time, the uterus becomes soft and grows fast, often accompanied by irregular bleeding or excessive menstruation.
