What are the symptoms of uterine tumors?

Uterine tumor is a common uterine disease. Most patients are between 35 and 50 years old. When a tumor grows in the uterus, the amount of vaginal discharge increases and the color changes. At this time, menstruation will also change. However, most patients do not think it is a uterine tumor and will treat it as a general gynecological disease. However, an ultrasound examination at the hospital can reveal abnormalities in the uterus, and the physical symptoms will become more obvious as the tumor grows. So what are the symptoms of uterine tumor?

Menstrual abnormalities:

Heavy menstrual flow and long menstrual periods are one of the early symptoms of uterine fibroids. Female friends with normal menstruation should pay attention if their menstrual cycle is shortened, the menstrual flow increases, the menstrual period is prolonged, and irregular vaginal bleeding occurs. Sometimes, even if the submucosal uterine fibroids are very small, they can cause menorrhagia. As the fibroids grow larger, the menstrual period is prolonged. Once the fibroids become necrotic, ulcerated, or infected, there will be persistent or irregular vaginal bleeding or purulent discharge.

Increased vaginal discharge:

Abnormal increase in vaginal discharge may also be an early symptom of uterine fibroids. Intramural fibroids will increase the area of ​​the uterine cavity, increase the secretion of endometrial glands, and be accompanied by pelvic congestion, which will lead to increased leucorrhea. In addition, submucosal fibroids suspended in the vagina are prone to infection and necrosis on the surface, and will produce a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge, accompanied by a foul odor.

Abdominal mass:

When you have uterine fibroids, you will feel a lump in your abdomen that is hard and irregular in shape. The uterus is easier to feel in the early morning when the bladder is full and pushes upward.

Back pain:

Abdominal pain, back pain, and lower abdominal distension can also be early symptoms of uterine fibroids, but they are not specific. Patients with uterine fibroids often experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, and acute abdominal pain when the fibroid pedicle twists. During pregnancy, they may also experience severe abdominal pain and fever.

Frequent urination and urination disorder:

When uterine fibroids are large, they will compress adjacent organs. Compression of the bladder can cause frequent urination, urination problems, urinary retention, etc. Compression of the ureter can cause hydronephrosis, and compression of the rectum can cause difficulty in defecation, etc. These may be early symptoms of uterine fibroids.

The above article explains the relevant symptoms of uterine tumors. There are fewer characteristics in the early stage, but the characteristics will increase when the disease becomes serious. As long as the patient pays attention to the relevant symptoms, many disease characteristics can be discovered. Patients can undergo corresponding examinations to diagnose the disease, such as B-ultrasound/color ultrasound examination, abdominal CT examination, etc. For the treatment of this disease, it is best to use medication, and surgical treatment can also be performed. The treatment plan is based on the size and location of the uterine tumor.
