What are the symptoms of postmenopausal uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common female reproductive system disease. This is a benign tumor that often occurs in middle-aged and elderly women, especially postmenopausal women. After the onset of the disease in postmenopausal women, it often manifests as increased vaginal discharge, often leading to abnormal urination, difficulty urinating, frequent urination and other symptoms. In addition, it is easy to cause pain and a certain sense of oppression.

Increased leucorrhea: Intramural fibroids increase the area of ​​the uterine cavity, increase the secretion of endometrial glands, and are accompanied by pelvic congestion, resulting in increased leucorrhea. If it is a submucosal fibroid, its surface is prone to infection and necrosis, producing a large amount of purulent and bloody secretions accompanied by a foul odor. This is a common clinical manifestation of uterine fibroids.

Abnormal urination and defecation: If the fibroids are large or grow in the cervix, broad ligament, etc., the clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids may include clinical symptoms of squeezing adjacent pelvic organs. Such as constipation, frequent urination, increased residual urine, ureteral displacement, hydronephrosis, etc.

pain. Most patients with uterine fibroids do not feel pain, but a small number of them may experience lower abdominal pain after the fibroids become infected or the uterus becomes deformed.

Lump. A lump may be felt in the lower abdomen, especially when the bladder is full of urine.

A sense of oppression. Most patients with uterine fibroids may not feel anything. However, if the fibroid is located low, even if the tumor is not large, it can compress adjacent organs. For example, if it compresses the bladder, urination may become difficult; if it compresses the rectum, defecation may become difficult; if it compresses the ureter, back pain and other symptoms may occur.
