What are the symptoms of uterine muscle

For a long time, tumor-related diseases have the potential to turn into cancer clinically. For women, although uterine fibroids are a type of benign tumor, there is still a chance of them turning into cancer. Therefore, if female friends want to cure the disease as soon as possible after suffering from uterine fibroids, they should have a detailed understanding of the symptoms of uterine fibroids. The following content is about the common symptoms of uterine fibroids.

Most patients are asymptomatic and the disease is only discovered occasionally during pelvic examination or ultrasound. If there are symptoms, they are closely related to the location, speed, degeneration and complications of the tumor growth, but have relatively little to do with the size and number of the tumor. People with multiple subserosal fibroids may not have symptoms, but a small submucosal fibroid can often cause irregular vaginal bleeding or menorrhagia. Common clinical symptoms include:

(1) Uterine bleeding: It is the most important symptom of uterine fibroids and occurs in more than half of the patients. Among them, cyclical bleeding is the most common, which can manifest as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period or shortened cycle. It may also present as irregular vaginal bleeding that is not related to the menstrual cycle. Uterine bleeding is more common with submucosal fibroids and intramural fibroids, while subserosal fibroids rarely cause uterine bleeding.

(2) Abdominal mass and compression: When the fibroids gradually grow and cause the uterus to enlarge to more than the size of a 3-month pregnant uterus or become a large subserosal fibroid located at the fundus of the uterus, a mass can often be felt in the abdomen, which is more obvious in the early morning when the bladder is full. The mass was solid, movable, and non-tender. When the fibroids grow to a certain size, they can cause compression symptoms of surrounding organs. Fibroids on the anterior wall of the uterus close to the bladder can cause frequent urination and urgency; giant cervical fibroids compressing the bladder can cause difficulty in urination or even urinary retention; fibroids on the posterior wall of the uterus, especially those in the isthmus or posterior lip of the cervix, can compress the rectum, causing difficulty in defecation and discomfort after defecation; giant broad ligament fibroids can compress the ureter and even cause hydronephrosis.

(3) Pain: Generally, uterine fibroids do not cause pain, but many patients may complain of a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and pain in the waist and back. When the pedicle of subserosal fibroids is twisted or uterine fibroids undergo red degeneration, acute abdominal pain may occur. It is not uncommon for fibroids to be combined with endometriosis or adenomyosis, which may cause dysmenorrhea.

From the above, it can be seen that patients with uterine fibroids will show symptoms such as uterine bleeding, pain, abdominal mass, and frequent urination and urgency. In life, if people want to detect whether they have uterine fibroids through their daily performance, they can also understand it by observing whether they have these symptoms. It can be seen that it is also necessary to understand the symptoms of uterine fibroids.
