What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

Experts say that uterine fibroids mainly have the following symptoms. If you are diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to prevent the disease from affecting your physical and mental health.

1. Irregular menstruation.

This is a typical clinical manifestation of uterine fibroids. The patient mainly shows a significantly shortened menstrual cycle, or may also show a series of symptoms of irregular menstruation such as prolonged menstrual period, significantly increased bleeding, etc.

2. Increased vaginal discharge.

This is one of the clinical symptoms of patients with submucosal fibroids. The worsening of uterine fibroids will lead to changes in the intrauterine environment, and the secretion of glands will increase, which may lead to increased leucorrhea. If the surface of the submucosal fibroids is infected, a large amount of bloody or purulent leucorrhea may appear, accompanied by a strong odor, which can easily cause other gynecological inflammations.

3. A lump appears in the abdomen.

Many of these are symptoms of subserosal or intramural fibroids. As uterine fibroids gradually grow larger, they will slowly protrude around the abdominal cavity. When patients touch their lower abdomen in the morning on an empty stomach or when their bladder is full, they may find a hard and movable lump.

4. Frequent and urgent urination.

If uterine fibroids cause compression on the bladder, it can easily cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, urination disorder and urinary retention. If the fibroids cause compression on the ureter, it may also cause symptoms of hydronephrosis.
