Uterine fibroid is a common disease, gynecological diseases are also common diseases, not only affect the normal life and work of patients, but also endanger women's health.
Uterine fibroid hazard
1. Infertility or abortion: in patients with Uterine fibroid, the uterine horn myoma tissue compresses the entrance of the fallopian tube, and the deformation of the uterus hinders the implantation of Zygote, which eventually leads to infertility. In addition, according to statistics, the natural abortion rate of myoma patients is also high, with a ratio of 4:1.
2. Secondary anemia: Uterine fibroid has excessive menstrual bleeding for a long time. Secondary anemia promotes anemic heart disease. In severe cases, patients may experience adverse symptoms such as general weakness, pale complexion, and short panic.
3. Adhesion or inflammation: intestinal adhesion after torsion of subserous Uterine fibroid stem, intestinal bacterial infection, adhesion of inflammatory myoma and Uterine appendages, causing suppurative inflammation. On the other hand, fibroids invade other uterine organs due to bleeding, causing gynecological inflammations such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
4. Infection and suppuration: Uterine fibroid causes pelvic congestion and infection. Most of the infections are caused by tumor torsion, and blood borne infections are extremely rare. After infection, a small number of patients form abscesses in the tumor tissue, while the remaining manifestations are purulent.
5. Malignant lesions: Uterine fibroid are Benign tumor, but a few women still cannot escape the malignant changes of yu (malignant change rate is about 1%), especially in elderly women. Therefore, patients with rapid growth of fibroids or postmenopausal fibroids should be vigilant.
6. Influence on physique: excessive long-term menstruation caused by Uterine fibroid will lead to anemia in patients. In traditional Chinese medicine, blood deficiency and blood gas imbalance are common. If left unchecked, it may cause anemic heart disease in severe cases.
Symptoms of Uterine fibroid
1. Menstrual changes: The most common symptoms are shortened Menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.
2. Abdominal mass: Abdominal swelling, palpation of a lump in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a sense of falling.
3. Increased vaginal discharge: Increased vaginal discharge sometimes produces a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge, as well as carrion like tissue discharge with a foul odor.
4. Pain: general patients have no abdominal pain, often with lower abdomen falling and swelling, pain in the back and waist, etc. When Uterine fibroid twist the pedicles of subserous fibroids, acute abdominal pain can occur when the fibroids become red, and abdominal pain is severe with fever.
5. Compression symptoms: fibroids grow forward or backward, which can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, Dysuria, Urinary retention or constipation. When fibroids grow on both sides, they form a broad ligament fibroid, which compresses the ureter and can cause hydronephrosis in the ureter or renal pelvis; If the pelvic vessels and Lymphatic vessel are compressed, lower limb edema may be caused.
