Uterine fibroid is a common gynecological disease, and its occurrence is also very common. After illness, patients have abnormal performance. After our body is abnormal, we must immediately check and treat.
Symptoms of Uterine fibroid
1. Irregular menstruation: Irregular menstruation with increased menstruation and prolonged menstruation is the most common symptom of Uterine fibroid. It is mostly seen in the intramural fibroids and submucosal fibroids of the major muscles. The fibroids enlarge the uterine cavity, increase the area of the endometrium, and affect the Uterine contraction. In addition, the fibroids may squeeze the veins near the tumor, causing congestion and expansion of the endometrial venous plexus, and prolonging the menstrual period. When submucosal fibroids are accompanied by necrotic infections, vaginal bleeding or irregular bloody purulent discharge may occur. Long term increase in menstrual volume can lead to secondary anemia, weakness, palpitations, and other symptoms.
2. Lower abdominal mass: When the fibroid is small, there is no mass in the abdomen, and the fibroid gradually increases. When the uterus is pregnant for more than 3 months, it can be contacted from the abdomen. Giant submucosal fibroids can detach from the outside of the vagina, and patients can seek medical attention from the external genitalia.
3. Increased vaginal discharge: Intramural fibroids increase the area of the uterine cavity, resulting in increased secretion of endometrial glands. Infection of submucosal fibroids with increased pelvic congestion and vaginal discharge can result in a large amount of purulent vaginal discharge. When ulceration, necrosis, or bleeding occurs, there may be bloody or purulent, foul smelling vaginal discharge.
4. Compression symptoms: fibroids in the lower segment of the anterior wall of the uterus oppress the bladder, causing frequent urination, hysteromyoma with urgency causing Dysuria, and fibroids in the posterior wall of the uterus (isthmus or posterior wall) with urinary stagnation causing abdominal swelling, constipation and other symptoms. Wide ligament fibroids or cervical giant fibroids develop laterally, embedded in the pelvis to compress the ureter and prevent upper urinary tract expansion, ureteral dilation, and hydronephrosis.
5. Other symptoms: including lower abdominal distension, low back pain, and worsening of physiological symptoms. When the red color of the fibroid changes, there is acute lower abdominal pain, and when there is torsion of the stem of the subserosal fibroid accompanied by vomiting, fever, and local compression pain of the tumor, acute abdominal pain can also be caused when the submucosal fibroid of the uterus is expelled from the uterine cavity. Distorted intramural fibroids in the submucosal and uterine cavities can cause infertility or miscarriage.
6. Infertility: Female uterine fibroids compress or block the fallopian tubes, significantly reducing the probability of pregnancy.
7. Secondary anemia: Prolonged menstrual period and increased menstrual volume can easily cause anemia in patients, leading to fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and many other discomfort.
