What are the symptoms of uterine disease?

Many people suffer from uterine diseases, such as metritis, uterine fibroids, uterine hypertrophy, adenomyosis, etc. These are common uterine diseases, but many women think that such diseases are not important and will get better without treatment. Such thoughts will only add some harm to their bodies and cause uterine lesions. When facing uterine diseases, timely treatment is necessary. So what are the symptoms of uterine diseases?

Uterine cancer

(1) Uterine bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding before and after menopause is the main symptom of endometrial cancer. It is usually a small to moderate amount of bleeding, and rarely a large amount of bleeding. Not only are younger or menopausal patients prone to mistakenly believe that they have irregular menstruation and fail to seek medical treatment in a timely manner, but even doctors often neglect it. Some people also have delayed menstrual cycles, but the symptoms are irregular. Postmenopausal patients often present with continuous or intermittent vaginal bleeding. Patients with endometrial cancer generally do not have contact bleeding. Late bleeding may be mixed with rotten meat-like tissue.

(ii) Vaginal discharge: Because adenocarcinoma grows in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is less than that of cervical cancer. Therefore, in the early stage, there may be only a small amount of bloody leucorrhea. However, if infection and necrosis occur later, a large amount of foul-smelling pus and blood will be discharged. Sometimes the discharge contains small pieces of cancerous tissue. If pus accumulates in the cervical cavity, it will cause fever, abdominal pain, and leukocytosis. The general condition also deteriorated rapidly.

Uterine fibroids

1. Menstrual changes: The most common symptom is 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, broad ligament fibroids are formed. 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.

Adenomyosis

1. Menstrual disorders (40-50%): The main manifestations are prolonged menstrual period and increased menstrual volume. Some patients may also experience spotting before and after menstruation. This is because the uterus increases in size, the area of ​​the endometrium increases, and the lesions within the uterine muscle wall affect the contraction of uterine muscle fibers. Severe cases may lead to anemia.

2. Dysmenorrhea (25%): characterized by secondary progressive dysmenorrhea. It often begins a week before menstruation and is relieved when the menstrual period ends. This is because during menstruation, the ectopic endometrium in the myometrium becomes congested, swollen, and bleeds under the influence of ovarian hormones. At the same time, it increases the blood volume in the myometrium blood vessels, causing the thick myometrium to expand and cause severe dysmenorrhea.

3. About 35% of patients have no obvious symptoms.

These diseases bring a lot of harm to everyone, so when facing these diseases, it is necessary to treat them in time and not waste time, especially uterine cancer. Such diseases cannot be delayed. If they are serious, they will cause serious harm to your life. When treating uterine cancer, you must also remember to relax and face it. The earlier these uterine fibroids are treated, the sooner the sequelae can be prevented.
