What should I do if I have lower back pain due to uterine fibroids?

The uterus is the place where new life is nurtured, but for some unknown reason, some people always have some uterine problems. Uterine fibroids are such a problem. Although most uterine fibroids are benign tumors, some people will experience severe back pain when they have uterine fibroids. So what should you do if you have back pain caused by uterine fibroids? Let me tell you!

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue. Common manifestations include uterine bleeding, pain, abdominal mass, compression symptoms of adjacent organs, increased vaginal discharge, anemia and heart dysfunction. Some patients have no symptoms and are often diagnosed with uterine fibroids during gynecological examinations. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynecological tumors, which are more common in patients aged 30-50 years. Depending on the location of the uterine muscle wall, the fibroids can be divided into intramural, subserosal, submucosal and intra-broad ligament fibroids.

treat:

If the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, treatment is generally not required. Especially for those who are close to menopause, because the estrogen level is low after menopause, the fibroids will naturally shrink or disappear, and only regular (3 to 6 months) check-ups are required.

If follow-up examination reveals that the fibroids are enlarged or the symptoms are obvious, further treatment should be considered.

2. Surgical treatment:

(i) Hysterectomy: This is suitable for patients whose uterus is larger than the size of a 3-month pregnancy, whose fibroids are not large but have obvious symptoms, or whose fibroids grow rapidly and cannot be ruled out as malignant.

(ii) Myomectomy: Suitable for patients under 35 years old, unmarried, or childless;

3. Drug treatment: used for patients with small fibroids, no obvious symptoms, near menopause or whose systemic condition cannot tolerate surgery.

(i) methyltestosterone, testosterone propionate;

(B) Progestogens. ① Norethindrone, used for patients who want to have children; ② Medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone, norethindrone, any one of them; ③ Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues.

After reading the above introduction, I believe you have understood that when uterine fibroids appear, if there are very serious symptoms, it is best to take certain measures for treatment. If necessary, surgery can be performed to remove the uterine fibroids. In addition, you must be careful not to overwork yourself, as overwork can easily lead to back pain.
