The dangers of removing uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common benign gynecological tumor. Although the chance of uterine fibroids becoming cancerous is very low, they can still cause great harm to our health and seriously affect women's daily life and work. However, whether uterine fibroids need surgical treatment is generally determined by the size of the tumor. However, uterine fibroids must be treated in a timely manner, and the sooner the better.

Hidden dangers of uterine fibroids

1. Torsion: This is one of the harmful manifestations of uterine fibroids. Subserosal fibroids may twist at the pedicle, causing acute abdominal pain. If the tumor pedicle is severely twisted and cannot be turned back by itself or surgery cannot be performed in time, it is possible that the tumor pedicle will be twisted off and form a free uterine fibroid.

2. Uterine fibroids combined with uterine body cancer: The incidence of uterine fibroids combined with uterine body cancer is 2%, which is much higher than that of uterine fibroids combined with cervical cancer. However, menopausal patients with uterine fibroids have symptoms of persistent uterine bleeding and should be alert to the presence of endometrial cancer. This is the most serious manifestation of the harm of uterine fibroids.

3. Infection and suppuration: Uterine fibroid infection is often the result of tumor pedicle torsion or acute endometritis. Hematogenous infection is extremely rare. The infection can sometimes be purulent, and clinically the harm of uterine fibroids can form abscesses in the tumor tissue.

4. The harm of uterine fibroids may also be complicated by pregnancy.
