Early symptoms of uterine fibroids

Generally speaking, uterine fibroids are benign tumors. For those smaller than five centimeters, conservative methods can be used for treatment. If they are larger than five centimeters, you should be alert. Also, pay attention to some symptoms of malignant transformation of uterine fibroids. For example, when urination problems occur and cause pain in the waist and abdomen, you should be alert. In addition, when malignant transformation occurs, it will also cause irregular vaginal bleeding.

1. Tumor compression can cause urination problems and lower back and abdominal pain, which are also symptoms of malignant transformation of uterine fibroids. I hope female friends will pay attention to this.

2. Examination may reveal that the uterus is significantly enlarged and soft, and sometimes there are infiltrated masses in the pelvic cavity. If it is a grape-like sarcoma, it may protrude from the cervical opening or vagina and is brittle and soft.

3. Malignant transformation of uterine fibroids can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, and the amount is very heavy. If the tumor is necrotic or forms an ulcer, pus, blood, or rice-soup-like liquid with a foul odor may be discharged.

4. After uterine fibroids become malignant, patients will also have abdominal lumps, which patients can sometimes feel themselves. Especially those with uterine fibroids can grow rapidly.

Under normal circumstances, the chance of malignant transformation is relatively low. 0.5-1% of patients may develop malignant transformation, that is, sarcoma. If you have any obvious discomfort in your body, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for a detailed and comprehensive examination.

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease. Most of them are benign tumors, but they also have a certain possibility of becoming cancerous. Therefore, once uterine fibroids are detected, they should be taken seriously and scientifically treated under the guidance of a doctor. Those who are diagnosed with uterine fibroids should not panic. For those who are asymptomatic and have small tumors, patients can go to the hospital for a check-up every 3-6 months. If the patient is over 40 years old, the amount of bleeding is not too much, and no malignant lesions are found after the diagnostic curettage, he or she may also be re-examined every 3-6 months, and pay attention to proper rest and cooperate with drug treatment.
