The dangers of uterine retention cysts

Gynecological diseases are suffered by many women. Due to the complex body structure of women, there are many types of gynecological diseases. Among them, uterine retention cysts are relatively common gynecological diseases, which are very harmful to women's bodies. If not treated in time, it will also affect women's normal life, such as dysmenorrhea or irregular warning. In order to make women aware of the seriousness of gynecological diseases, let's learn about the hazards of uterine retention cysts.

The dangers of uterine retention cysts:

The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. It is mostly secondary, that is, since the occurrence of endometriosis, patients complain that they had no pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur from a certain period, which can occur before, during and after menstruation. Some women experience severe and unbearable dysmenorrhea, requiring bed rest or medication to relieve the pain. They may even roll on the bed or bang their heads in pain. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle and disappears when the menstruation ends. However, reports in China show that approximately 21% of women do not have dysmenorrhea.

Symptoms of cyclical rectal irritation:

Progressively aggravated cyclical rectal irritation symptoms are rare in other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and vulva feel heavy, painful, and have a feeling of tenesmus, and the frequency of bowel movements is increased. As the lesion gradually worsens, the symptoms become more and more obvious, and disappear after menstruation.

Infertility:

About 50% of patients with endometriosis suffer from infertility, and among patients with unexplained infertility, about 30-40% suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis causes infertility, which is often caused by pelvic masses, adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, poor follicle development or ovulation disorders caused by the disease. Once pregnant, the ectopic endometrium is suppressed and atrophies, which is a good treatment for endometriosis. Some cases of habitual miscarriage are caused by endometriosis.

Menstrual Irregularities:

Patients with endometriosis often experience shortened menstrual cycles, increased menstrual flow, or prolonged menstrual periods, indicating that the patients have symptoms of ovarian dysfunction. Irregular menstruation can be used as a diagnostic reference, but it has no value in differential diagnosis.

Dyspareunia:

Dyspareunia may occur when there are ectopic endometrial nodules in the vaginal vault, nodules or adhesions in the rectal pit, or when the ovaries are adhered to the pelvic floor. When the fibrosis and contraction of the posterior lobe of the broad ligament are obvious, it can exogenously compress the ureter, causing it to be narrowed and blocked. Urinary system symptoms may also occur. In severe cases, hydroureter or hydronephrosis may occur.

Symptoms of cyclical bladder irritation:

When endometriosis lesions involve the bladder peritoneal folds or invade the bladder muscle layer, symptoms such as menstrual urgency and frequent urination will appear simultaneously. If the lesion invades the bladder mucosa (bladder endometriosis), there will be periodic hematuria and pain.

Acute abdomen during or around menstruation:

It is usually an ovarian endometrial cyst with the characteristic of perforation. Most patients undergo emergency surgery due to ovarian cyst torsion or ectopic pregnancy. If the condition improves without surgery, pelvic adhesions will worsen and may rupture repeatedly in the future, causing acute abdomen.

Periodic lower abdominal discomfort:

The incidence of this symptom is higher than that of dysmenorrhea, and endometriosis patients without dysmenorrhea often have this symptom. It occurs in patients with mild symptoms, or in some patients with severe lesions, but due to individual differences in pain thresholds or other reasons, dysmenorrhea symptoms do not occur, and there is only a feeling of low back pain and lower abdominal distension during menstruation.

Cervical retention cyst

Chronic cervicitis,

Cervical smear tests should be performed to prevent malignant lesions, especially for women over 40 years old, who should have regular smear tests and cervical biopsy when necessary. This disease is a chronic disease and requires patient and persistent treatment. During the treatment period, you should refrain from sexual intercourse, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Pay attention to sexual hygiene, wash your genitals every day, wash the front of the genitals first, then the back of the genitals, and use a special towel. Wash the genitals once before and after sexual intercourse, and empty your bladder once after sexual intercourse to flush the genitals. Having sex is strictly prohibited during menstruation. Vaginal medication should be started on the 3rd day after the menstruation is over and discontinued during the menstrual period. Nowadays, laser treatment of this disease has a good effect. People with excessive leucorrhea should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic cervicitis is the most common disease among women. It is mostly transformed from acute cervicitis and is more common in married and weak women. The cause of the disease is damage to the cervix during sexual intercourse or childbirth, which allows bacteria to invade and cause the disease. The main symptom is increased vaginal discharge, which is usually sticky or purulent mucus, sometimes with blood or bleeding during sexual intercourse. It is followed by vulvar itching and pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, which worsens during sexual intercourse, menstruation and bowel movements.

Chronic cervicitis is also a type of cervical cyst. It often occurs after childbirth, abortion or surgical injury to the cervix, when pathogens (mainly Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria) invade and cause infection, the main manifestation of which is increased vaginal discharge. As age increases, the cervix gradually shrinks, and some cervicitis tends to heal on its own. If it spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be lumbar pain and pain during sexual intercourse; if there are cervical polyps, there may be bleeding during sexual intercourse.

When women feel unwell, don’t always think that it’s no big deal. Gynecological diseases are the most direct cause of female infertility. The above is an introduction to the hazards of uterine retention cysts. In order to avoid such gynecological diseases, female friends should seek timely treatment once they find abnormal leucorrhea. At the same time, they must develop regular living habits, pay attention to a light diet, and also pay attention to keeping their body warm.
