How can women self-check uterine fibroids?

What tests should be done before treatment of uterine fibroids:

Before treating uterine fibroids, you must first understand the cause and do a detailed examination so that you can find a treatment method that suits you faster and better. Let us understand what examinations need to be done before treating uterine fibroids.

1. Whether it hurts:

Patients will feel symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, back pain, etc. The abdominal pain will worsen when the pedicle of the fibroids twists or the fibroids degenerate into red.

2. Observe bleeding:

Common symptoms of uterine fibroids include irregular menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. If the condition is severe, anemia may also occur.

3. Touch the lump:

After defecating on an empty stomach in the morning, lie flat on the bed, bend your knees slightly, relax your abdomen, and press your lower abdomen with your hands to check for lumps.

4. Observe leucorrhea:

Under normal circumstances, leucorrhea is a white, sticky secretion, which will change slightly with the menstrual cycle. However, uterine fibroids can cause an increase in leucorrhea, which appears to be pus-like and bloody and has a foul odor.

5. Compression symptoms:

Fibroids can compress the bladder, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination and urination disorders, and compress the rectum, leading to symptoms such as constipation and difficulty in defecation.
