Women are easily affected and harmed by various gynecological diseases, so they must pay attention to the symptoms of these diseases. For example, patients with uterine fibroids are prone to show adverse symptoms such as menstrual changes, abdominal lumps, or abdominal pain. 1. Menstrual changes: Menstrual changes Most patients experience menstrual changes, with prolonged menstrual periods but not necessarily a significant increase in menstrual volume; normal menstrual duration and volume, but shortened cycles; or heavy menstrual volume, longer periods, and shortened cycles; patients with fibroids that mainly grow under the serosal membrane may not experience menstrual changes. In addition, fibroids increase the size of the uterus and affect the contraction of uterine muscle fibers, which is the reason for the increase in menstrual volume. 2. Abdominal mass: The abdomen is distended, and a mass can be felt in the lower abdomen, accompanied by a feeling of falling. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea, sometimes with a large amount of purulent and bloody discharge and necrotic tissue discharge with a foul odor. 3. Pain : Generally, patients do not have abdominal pain, but acute abdominal colic may occur when the subserosal pedunculated myoma is twisted. In addition, when the tumor undergoes degeneration, it may cause dull pain or more severe abdominal pain with red degeneration. Although large uterine fibroids grow in the large pelvic cavity, they can still compress the surrounding organs and tissues to cause dull pain and a feeling of falling. Intramural fibroids can cause or aggravate dysmenorrhea. When submucosal uterine fibroids prolapse into the vagina through the cervical canal, severe lower abdominal pain may occur. 4. Compression symptoms: Compression symptoms vary depending on the location and size of the tumor. If the fibroids grow on the posterior wall of the uterus, causing the uterus to tilt backward and bend backward, or the uterus to shift forward, or grow inside the cervix, they can compress the urethra and cause urinary retention or difficulty urinating. Large fibroids on the posterior wall of the uterine body can also compress the rectum, causing difficulty in defecation. If they grow on the anterior wall of the uterine body and are about 10 cm or larger in diameter, they can compress the bladder and cause frequent urination and urgency. Uterine fibroids incarcerated in the pelvic cavity can make urination and defecation difficult. Larger myomas growing in the broad ligament can compress the ureter, causing hydroureteral and renal pelvis on that side. |
