What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? This is a very worthy issue. We can judge its incidence by the symptoms so that we can treat it as soon as possible. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the symptoms of uterine fibroids. Let's take a look.

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, lower abdominal swelling, accompanied by a feeling of falling.

3. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea, sometimes with a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor.

Pain: Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain, but often have lower abdominal swelling, back pain, etc. When the pedicle of the subserosal fibroid is twisted, acute abdominal pain and redness of the fibroid may occur, with severe abdominal pain and fever, which can generally be relieved with Chinese medicine gypsum.

5. Compression symptoms: When the fibroids grow forward or backward, they can compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, they will form broad ligament fibroids, compressing the ureter or hydronephrosis; if they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they will cause lower limb edema.

6. Infertility: Fibroids compress the fallopian tubes and cause them to twist, or deform the uterine cavity, hindering the implantation of the fertilized egg and leading to infertility.

7. Secondary anemia: If the patient has excessive menstruation for a long time, it may lead to secondary anemia, general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, palpitations and other symptoms.

8. Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia with uterine fibroids is also rare. The main symptoms are low fasting blood sugar, loss of consciousness, shock, and the symptoms completely disappear after glucose injection. After tumor resection, the symptoms of hypoglycemia completely disappear.
