Is uterine posterior wall fibroids serious?

Uterine posterior wall fibroids are actually a relatively serious problem because they can affect normal fertility. Even after successful conception, they may lead to a higher chance of miscarriage and may even induce diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and endometritis.

1. Impact on fertility

For women of childbearing age, the biggest threat of reproductive system diseases is the impact on pregnancy. If the location of the fibroids in the uterus is near the fallopian tubes, it may compress them, hinder normal ovulation and implantation of the fertilized egg, and lead to long-term inability to get pregnant. Even if pregnancy is successful, the patient's chance of miscarriage will be significantly higher.

2. Affect physical fitness

Long-term excessive menstrual flow caused by uterine fibroids can lead to anemia in patients, which in Chinese medicine terms means blood deficiency and imbalance of Qi and blood. If allowed to develop, it may cause anemic heart disease in severe cases.

3. Concurrent with other gynecological diseases

For example, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, endometritis, etc.

4. Cancer

Although the chance of uterine fibroids developing into malignant tumors is very small, it does not mean that such a thing will not happen to you, especially for older women, who have a greater chance of benign tumors degenerating into malignant tumors. Currently, the most common type of cancer is uterine fibroids combined with uterine body cancer, which accounts for about 2% of the incidence rate.

5. Torsion and series of complications

The pedicle of uterine fibroids is prone to twisting, and the patient may suddenly feel abdominal pain. If not treated in time, it will cause axial torsion of the uterus. Torsion can also lead to pelvic infection, suppuration, or migration of fibroids, which can cause great damage to the uterus.
