Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease in women. Most cases have no symptoms, but a few cases present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Pain may occur if the pedicle is twisted or other conditions occur. Multiple uterine fibroids are common. Uterine fibroids are more common in women aged 30 to 45 with strong ovarian function. After the age of 50, due to the obvious decline in ovarian function, most fibroids shrink on their own.

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 are asymptomatic, and can remain undetected throughout life. In recent years, due to the widespread use of B-type ultrasound examinations, many patients have been found to have uterine fibroids through B-ultrasound examinations during routine physical examinations, but they themselves have no symptoms. Most patients do not know what uterine fibroids are, and most patients seek medical treatment because of symptoms. Common symptoms of uterine fibroids include uterine bleeding, abdominal masses, vaginal discharge, compression symptoms, etc.

Patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to the following: patients should not be overly tired and should take more rest. Eat more fruits and vegetables, keep the vulva clean, do not wear tight clothes, and wash it at any time if there is excessive vaginal discharge. After confirming that it is uterine fibroids, go to the hospital in time and do not delay the treatment. Avoid pregnancy during this period to avoid inflammation. When the menstrual period is heavy, pay attention to supplement iron to avoid anemia. Do not take hormones to avoid the enlargement of fibroids.
