1. Menstrual changes: When tumors grow in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and choriocarcinoma, menstrual abnormalities may occur, including menorrhagia, irregular periods, prolonged menstruation, spotting, etc. Some ovarian tumors, such as granulosa cell tumors and theca cell tumors, can secrete estrogen, interfere with the menstrual cycle, and cause menstrual abnormalities.

2. Abdominal pain: Ovarian tumor torsion, rupture or infection, uterine submucosal fibroids falling off from the cervix or fibroid degeneration can cause severe lower abdominal pain.

3. Postmenopausal bleeding: In the first year of menopause, there may be occasional vaginal bleeding. If menopause lasts for more than 1 year, vaginal bleeding is called postmenopausal bleeding. There are many reasons for postmenopausal bleeding, most of which are caused by benign diseases, but the possibility of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer cannot be ignored. Although the amount of bleeding is not much, it is also one of the symptoms of uterine fibroids.
