In general, common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

1. Menstrual changes: This is the most common symptom of uterine fibroids, manifested as shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

2. Increased vaginal discharge: Increased vaginal discharge. Sometimes this symptom of uterine fibroids will produce a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor.

3. Pain: Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain. Symptoms of uterine fibroids often include lower abdominal distension, back pain, etc. When the subserosal fibroid pedicle is twisted, acute abdominal pain may occur. When the fibroid turns red, the abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by fever. It can usually be relieved with the Chinese medicine Shijie Gao.

4. Compression symptoms: Myomas grow forward or backward, compressing the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing symptoms of uterine fibroids such as frequent urination, dysuria, urinary retention or constipation. When myomas grow to both sides, they form broad ligament myomas, which compress the ureter and cause hydroureter or renal pelvis; if they compress pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema.

5. Secondary anemia: If the patient has excessive menstruation for a long time, it may lead to secondary anemia, with symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. This is also a common symptom of uterine fibroids.

6. Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia associated with uterine fibroids is also rare. The symptoms of this type of uterine fibroids are mainly low fasting blood sugar, loss of consciousness and even shock. The symptoms can completely disappear after glucose injection. The symptoms of hypoglycemia will completely disappear after the tumor is removed.
