The main symptoms of uterine fibroids

Nowadays, due to various environmental pollution and air pollution, many women suffer from various diseases. If you go to the hospital, you will find that each department is crowded. No one wants to see gynecological diseases, but many women suffer from uterine fibroids, symptoms of uterine fibroids, and symptoms of intramural uterine fibroids.

Symptoms of intramural uterine fibroids

The common symptoms of intramural fibroids include:

1. There are usually no symptoms. The symptoms are mainly related to the growth location, growth rate and whether the uterine fibroids have metastasis.

2. Vaginal bleeding and secondary anemia: Bleeding is the most common symptom. There may be heavy menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual duration, and shortened menstrual cycles, which are more common in intramural fibroids, while irregular vaginal bleeding and continuous spotting are more common in subserosal fibroids; abnormal uterine bleeding is rarely caused by subserosal fibroids.

3. Lower abdominal pain and compression symptoms: Generally there is no pain. Acute abdominal pain may occur when uterine fibroids undergo red degeneration or subserosal fibroid pedicle twisting.

Common symptoms of intramural uterine fibroids include vaginal bleeding and secondary anemia, lower abdominal pain and compression symptoms, and some generally have no symptoms.

Regarding the treatment of intramural uterine fibroids, if the uterine fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or metastasis, generally no treatment is required. Especially for those who are close to menopause, because the estrogen level decreases after menopause, uterine fibroids will naturally shrink or disappear, and only regular (3 to 6 months) follow-up visits are required. If the follow-up visit finds that the uterine fibroids are enlarged or the symptoms are obvious, further treatment can be considered. For the treatment of intramural uterine fibroids, surgical treatment is the most common treatment method for intramural uterine fibroids. If the patient does not respond effectively to medication and hormone therapy, and the bleeding is severe, it is recommended that the patient undergo minimally invasive hysterectomy to treat intramural uterine fibroids.
