Pictures of submucous uterine fibroids

Uterine and cervical fibroids are one of the most common gynecological tumors. The current prevalence is about 20%-40%. Uterine and cervical fibroids are common in women aged 30-50, but now the age of patients is gradually getting younger. There are even reports that patients with uterine fibroids have been found on campus. Uterine fibroids can easily cause severe anemia, infertility, and in severe cases even lead to malignant tumors, seriously endangering life.

Frequently asked questions

Uterine fibroid infection is often caused by tumor pedicle torsion or subacute endometritis, and hematogenous infection is extremely rare. The infection can sometimes be purulent, and in rare cases, cysts may form within the tumor tissue. After the subserosal fibroid pedicle is twisted, intestinal adhesions will occur, which may be infected by intestinal bacteria. The inflamed uterine fibroids will adhere to the uterine appendages, causing purulent inflammation.

Uterine fibroids are confined to the uterine muscle wall, which are called intramural uterine fibroids, accounting for about 60% to 70% of uterine fibroids. It not only affects pregnancy but also often causes miscarriage or premature birth.

Subserosal fibroids can cause distortion at the pedicle, causing acute abdominal pain. If the tumor pedicle torsion is serious and surgery is not performed immediately or it cannot be rotated autonomously, the uterine fibroids may be scattered due to the twisting of the tumor pedicle, as described above. Twisted uterine fibroids can also push the entire uterus, causing axial twisting of the uterus.
