Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumors, but their harm cannot be ignored. We must pay attention to the incidence of the disease, especially by taking preventive measures in daily life.
Symptoms and manifestations of uterine fibroids
1. Menstrual changes: When there are uterine growth tumors such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine fibroids, and choriocarcinoma, menstrual abnormalities, excessive menstrual flow, irregular cycles, prolonged menstruation, and bleeding occur. Ovarian tumors such as granulosa cell tumors and thecal cell tumors can secrete estrogen, interfere with the menstrual cycle, and cause menstrual abnormalities.
2. Postmenopausal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding within the first year of amenorrhea. If there is vaginal bleeding after menstruation has stopped for more than a year, it is called postmenopausal bleeding. There are many reasons for postmenopausal bleeding, most of which are caused by benign diseases. However, the possibility of cervical and endometrial cancer cannot be ignored, although sometimes the amount of bleeding is not significant.
3. Abdominal pain: Torsion, rupture, or infection of ovarian masses, prolapse of submucosal fibroids from the uterine opening, or degeneration of fibroids can cause severe lower abdominal pain.
4. Tumors: They can grow in any part of the reproductive organs. Usually discovered by chance. Even if these tumors have no symptoms, they are still abnormal phenomena, and most of them are tumor growth.
5. Diet and size changes: The initial manifestations of ovarian cancer may only include abdominal distension, poor appetite, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Tumor compression or invasion of the bladder and rectum can cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and dry stools. When the above symptoms occur, patients should seek medical attention immediately and should not delay treatment due to passive observation due to mild symptoms. However, it should be noted that the above symptoms are not unique to tumors, but are caused by benign diseases, and patients do not need to worry too much.
6. Abnormal vaginal secretions: Under normal circumstances, secretions from the endometrium, cervix, and vaginal exudates form vaginal discharge, which is generally small in quantity and varies with the menstrual cycle. When a tumor occurs in the female reproductive tract, the tumor undergoes necrosis and ulceration, leading to watery, bloody, and rice soup like leukorrhea. If combined with infection, there may be a foul odor. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be a manifestation of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
The harm of uterine fibroids
1. Infertility or miscarriage: Fibroid tissue appears in the corners of the uterus, which can compress the entrance of the fallopian tubes. Sperm cannot rise to the junction of the fallopian tubes and eggs, affecting uterine deformation during pregnancy, hindering the implantation of fertilized eggs, and hindering pregnancy. After implantation of the fertilized egg, when a large myoma is combined with pregnancy, it mechanically hinders embryonic development and uterine cavity infection, which can easily cause miscarriage.
