What are the symptoms of benign uterine fibroids? Can benign uterine fibroids cause fatty degeneration?

The severity of uterine fibroids depends on the growth rate and size of the uterine fibroids, but uterine fibroids are basically benign. Small uterine fibroids are not enough to cause any threat, but large ones may cause deep damage to the uterus.

What are the symptoms of benign uterine fibroids?

Hyaline degeneration of uterine fibroids refers to the accelerated growth rate of uterine fibroids, which will lead to insufficient blood supply, causing some tissues to swell and soften, and the vortex structure will disappear, replaced by a uniform transparent sample. The huge examination is easily confused with sarcoma degeneration. The cell structure cannot be seen under the microscope, and the lesion part is a structureless uniform eosin red area. Hyaline degeneration of uterine fibroids will further develop into cystic degeneration, liquefying the tissue in the degenerative area to form a cystic cavity containing frozen or transparent liquid, and the entire fibroid will be as soft as a cyst.

Fatty degeneration of uterine fibroids usually occurs in the late stage of hyaline degeneration or necrosis. Air bubbles in the muscle cells can be clearly seen under a light microscope, and fat staining is positive. Ischemia and necrosis are caused by tumor pedicle torsion or severe infection. The center of the fibroid is far away from the blood supply and is most likely to undergo necrosis.

The red degeneration of uterine fibroids is quite special. It is a special type of fibroid necrosis, which usually appears alone in the wall. The cause of this degeneration may be local tissue ischemia, infarction and stasis. The red degeneration will cause blood to infiltrate the tumor. The fibroids are visible to the naked eye, red like raw beef, and the original vortex structure is completely lost.

The incidence of calcification and degeneration of uterine fibroids is relatively low. Generally, chronic fibroids have insufficient blood supply. For example, calcium blue deposits are scattered and sparse, and generally cannot be identified, but there is a sandy feeling when cutting the tumor; the lesion is extensive and forms hard stones. The calcified area is dark blue under microscopic examination, forming layered deposits of different sizes and shapes. X-rays can be used for development.
