Uterine cyst menstrual bleeding

Uterine cysts are very common in our lives, but they are divided into two types: benign cysts and malignant cysts. For benign cysts, it may be enough to just remove the cystic part, but for malignant cysts, the entire uterus of the woman needs to be removed. Uterine cysts can also cause women to have continuous menstruation. So what should I do if I have continuous menstrual bleeding due to uterine cysts?

1. Impact on fertility: The most obvious feature of uterine cysts is that they will affect the female reproductive system. We often hear that women with uterine cysts cannot have normal fertility. The most important harm of uterine cysts is the impact on fertility. This is because cysts in the uterine cornu compress the entrance of the fallopian tube, causing the uterus to deform and hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg. In addition, patients with cysts often suffer from ovarian dysfunction, leading to infertility.

2. Women have menstruation every month, and uterine cysts will cause heavy menstrual bleeding, which will cause anemia in women in the long run. Patients with uterine cysts who have heavy menstrual periods for a long time are prone to secondary anemia and even anemic heart disease. In severe cases, they may experience symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations.

3. If uterine cysts are not treated for a long time, coupled with some bad living habits of the patient, it may cause uterine cancer. It is much higher than uterine cyst combined with cervical cancer. Therefore, menopausal patients with uterine cysts and persistent uterine bleeding should be alert to the presence of endometrial cancer. Before confirming treatment, a diagnostic curettage should be performed.

4. Concurrent gynecological inflammation: Patients with uterine cysts will experience symptoms of menstrual changes, such as increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, etc., and irregular bleeding can lead to invasion by pathogenic bacteria and cause gynecological inflammation such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

5. Torsion: Subserosal cysts may twist at the pedicle, causing acute abdominal pain. In severe cases, if surgery is not performed immediately or the cyst cannot be turned back on its own, the free cyst may cause the torsion of the entire uterus and cause axial torsion of the uterus.
