What are the dangers of uterine sarcoma?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease. When uterine fibroids occur, they often cause some symptoms and are quite harmful to women. For example, they can easily cause abnormal bleeding in the vagina, lumps in the breasts, and increased vaginal discharge. If the tumor is relatively large, it can also compress the bladder and cause symptoms such as frequent urination. It may even induce more serious diseases.

1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding:

Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom and can be manifested as abnormal menstruation or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Accounting for 65.5% to 78.2%.

2. Abdominal mass:

It is more common in patients with uterine fibroids transforming into sarcomas; the mass grows rapidly, and if the sarcoma grows into the vagina, there is often a feeling of a mass protruding from the vagina. The uterus is often enlarged, irregular in shape, and soft in texture.

3. Abdominal pain: The most common symptom is abdominal distension or dull pain due to the rapid growth of fibroids.

4. Increased vaginal discharge:

Vaginal discharge is mostly serous, bloody or white, and may be purulent and foul-smelling when accompanied by infection.

5. If the tumor is large:

Compression of the bladder or rectum may cause irritation, and compression of veins may cause lower limb edema;

6. Late-stage patients:

There may be weight loss, anemia, fever, general exhaustion, pelvic mass infiltrating the pelvic wall, and fixation and inability to move. Gynecological examination: The uterus was significantly enlarged, multi-nodular, and soft. If the sarcoma prolapses from the uterine cavity into the cervix or vagina, a purple-red mass may be seen, and when it is infected, there may be purulent secretions on the surface. If it is a grape-like sarcoma, a soft, brittle, and easily bleeding tumor is found in the cervix or vagina.
