What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

Most patients with uterine fibroids do not have obvious symptoms. If symptoms occur, they are closely related to the location, growth rate and degeneration of the fibroids. The most common symptom is menstrual changes, which are manifested as shortened cycles, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. Other manifestations include increased leucorrhea, frequent urination, difficulty urinating, difficulty defecating, backache, lower abdominal swelling, etc.

1. Symptoms of uterine fibroids can manifest as 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 cycles, 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. Uterine bleeding is the most common symptom of uterine fibroids. The clinical manifestations are menorrhagia, cyclical bleeding, increased menstrual volume, and often accompanied by prolonged menstruation. This type of bleeding is the most common; frequent menstruation, shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume; irregular bleeding, loss of normal menstrual periodicity, prolonged duration, and prolonged bleeding are more common in submucosal fibroids.

3. The uterus is located deep in the pelvic cavity. When the fibroids begin, the mass cannot be touched in the abdomen. When the uterine fibroids gradually increase in size, the uterine pregnancy size exceeds 3 months, or the subserosal fibroids located at the bottom of the uterus are easier to touch from the abdomen. The mass is located in the middle of the lower abdomen, practical and movable, but not very active, no tenderness, and grows slowly. If the patient's abdominal wall is thick, the uterus is enlarged, or exceeds the pelvic cavity, even up to 4~5 months, it is still difficult for the patient to find it by himself.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of uterine fibroids. If you feel that your symptoms are similar, experts recommend that you go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying the treatment of the disease.
