What does uterine fibroids positive mean?

Many women have large or small fibroids in their uterus. This is a benign tumor also called uterine leiomyoma. The cause of the disease is still unclear, but clinical studies have shown that the disease is mostly related to estrogen. Some women with uterine fibroids often experience menstrual cycle disorders or abnormal menstrual volume. Some women also experience symptoms of lower back pain, especially in the few days before menstruation. Do not underestimate uterine fibroids, as they may cause a variety of diseases. Regular examinations are required and the progression of the tumor should be closely monitored.

1. Concept

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Since uterine fibroids are mainly formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue existing as a supporting tissue, it is more accurate to call them uterine leiomyomas. Referred to as uterine fibroids.

2. Causes

The etiology of uterine fibroids is still unclear and may involve complex interactions among normal myometrial cell mutations, sex hormones, and local growth factors. A large number of clinical observations and experimental results indicate that uterine fibroids are a hormone-dependent tumor. Estrogen is the main factor that drives fibroid growth.

Symptoms

1. Menstrual changes are the most common symptoms, including shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.

2. Abdominal mass: The abdomen is swollen, and a mass can be felt in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a feeling of falling.

3. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea, sometimes with a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor.

4. Pain: Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain, but often have lower abdominal distension, back pain, etc. When the pedicle of the subserosal fibroid is twisted, acute abdominal pain may occur. When the fibroid turns red, the abdominal pain is severe and accompanied by fever.

5. Compression symptoms: The fibroids grow forward or backward and may compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, they form broad ligament fibroids. When they compress the ureter, they can cause hydroureteral or renal pelvis. If they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema.
