Uterine fibroids and enlarged lower abdomen

In modern society, there are more and more obese people, and the incidence of uterine fibroids has continued to rise. However, these two similar diseases were unexpectedly linked together one day. Some women feel that their abdomens are gradually getting bigger. These beauty-seeking patients believe that this is due to overeating and laziness, so they try various weight-loss methods, but none of them work. Later, they go to the hospital for a check-up and find out that it is uterine fibroids that are pushing up their abdomens. So can uterine fibroids really make the abdomen bigger and bigger? In addition, are there any other main manifestations of uterine fibroids?

To put it simply, uterine fibroids are tumors growing in the muscle layer of the uterus. In fact, the uterine muscle layer is a smooth muscle tissue. When the smooth muscle tissue does not grow normally, leiomyoma will occur. However, this type of tumor is a benign disease and does not grow completely out of control. Many female patients suffer from uterine fibroids, which is a common and frequently occurring disease in obstetrics and gynecology, but very few people actually have symptoms.

If the uterine fibroids are large or multiple, and the uterus is enlarged and inverted into the uterus in the third month of pregnancy, it will exceed the range of the pelvis and can directly touch the lower abdomen. If the uterine fibroids continue to grow, it will definitely make the uterus larger and even cause the abdomen to bulge. Theoretically, this is possible.

In addition, the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids are increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual duration. As uterine fibroids expand, the total area of ​​the uterine wall and the total area of ​​the endometrium expand. When the menstrual period comes, the menstrual volume will inevitably increase or the menstrual duration will be prolonged. Similarly, as the area of ​​the uterine wall expands, the secretions of the endometrium will increase, which will also cause more leucorrhea. If the uterine fibroids are large or in a unique location, various compression symptoms may occur.

Clinically speaking, uterine fibroids can make the abdomen bigger, but it is not common. However, it is recommended that women of childbearing age can do B-ultrasound examination during check-up. If uterine fibroids are found, there is no need to panic. They can be treated or observed under the guidance of a doctor.
