What gynecological diseases can cause the uterus to become larger? Five effective methods for treating uterine enlargement
Uterine hypertrophy is a gynecological disease that not only increases vaginal discharge in women, but also causes pain. It requires timely and reasonable treatment.
Five major gynecological diseases cause uterine enlargement
1. Adenomyosis of the uterus: Adenomyosis of the uterus, also known as intrinsic endometriosis, where the endometrium grows in the middle of the myometrium and the uterus enlarges. During menstruation, the uterus enlarges significantly, accompanied by severe dysmenorrhea. During examination, the uterus enlarges
2. Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organs. Any part of the uterine fibroids will expand the uterus, and multiple uterine fibroids will expand the uterus, with irregular shapes.
3. Functional uterine bleeding: Functional uterine bleeding is a common gynecological disease that refers to abnormal uterine bleeding, which is caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system rather than organic lesions of the whole body and reproductive organs after diagnosis. Manifestations include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual periods, or irregular bleeding. Premenopausal functional uterine bleeding can also cause uterine enlargement, but often slightly, and the uterus is uniform.
4. Endometrial cancer: Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine body cancer, is a common malignant tumor in gynecology. Endometrial cancer generally occurs between the ages of 55 and 60, and the uterus is enlarged and soft, with irregular vaginal bleeding as the prominent clinical manifestation.
5. Uterine hypertrophy: Uterine hypertrophy, also known as chronic myositis of the uterus, refers to a disease in which the uterus is uniformly enlarged, with a thickness of the muscle layer exceeding 2.5cm, and is accompanied by varying degrees of uterine bleeding. This enlargement of the uterus is relatively hard, and there is often a history of prolificacy or multiple artificial abortions.
The Hazards of Uterine Hypertrophy
1. Sexual bleeding: When there is severe uterine erosion or cervical polyps, it can appear as bloody vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. Mild cases have no systemic symptoms. When inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligaments to the pelvis, pain in the lumbosacral region, swelling sensation in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea worsen with each bowel movement and sexual activity.
2. Infertility: Uterine hypertrophy is not conducive to sperm passage, affecting the normal implantation of sperm, leading to infertility.
3. Impact on normal life: For severe patients, uterine hypertrophy can lead to symptoms such as vaginal discharge and bleeding during sexual intercourse, which can also harm women's normal life to a certain extent.
4. Accompanying pain: The typical symptoms of patients with uterine hypertrophy are bladder irritation signs such as increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, urgency, and pain.
