What are the early symptoms of uterine fibroids?

In recent years, the number of women suffering from uterine fibroids has increased. The causes of this disease are very complicated, and many doctors are unable to explain the cause clearly. However, women need to know the early symptoms of uterine fibroids so that they can diagnose the disease in time and receive treatment. So what are the early symptoms of uterine fibroids? There are many early symptoms of the disease, which are similar to the symptoms of many gynecological diseases. Patients are advised to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis when they find the disease.

Symptom 1: Menstrual changes

When tumors grow in the uterus, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and choriocarcinoma, menstrual abnormalities may occur, including excessive menstrual flow, irregular periods, prolonged menstrual duration, and heavy bleeding. Certain ovarian tumors, such as granulosa cell tumor and theca cell tumor, can secrete estrogen, interfere with the menstrual cycle, and cause menstrual abnormalities.

Symptom 2: Menstrual changes

During the first year of amenorrhea, occasional vaginal bleeding may occur. If vaginal bleeding occurs after more than one year of amenorrhea, it is called postmenopausal bleeding. There are many reasons for postmenopausal bleeding. In most cases, it is caused by benign diseases, but the possibility of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer should never be ignored, although sometimes the amount of bleeding is not much.

Symptom 3: Abdominal pain

Torsion, rupture or infection of ovarian tumors, prolapse of submucosal uterine myomas from the cervix or degeneration of myomas can all cause severe lower abdominal pain.

Symptom 4: Tumor

It can grow in any part of the reproductive organs. Usually I discover it by accident. Even if these tumors do not have any symptoms, they are still abnormal and are mostly tumors.

Symptom 5: Changes in diet and bowel movements

The initial symptoms of ovarian cancer may only be abdominal distension, poor appetite and gastrointestinal symptoms. Tumor compression or invasion of the bladder and rectum can cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, dry stools, etc. When the above symptoms occur, patients should seek medical attention promptly and should not passively observe the situation because the symptoms are mild and tolerable, thus delaying treatment. However, it should be noted that the above symptoms are not unique to tumors, and most of them are still caused by benign diseases, so patients do not need to worry too much.

Symptom 6: Abnormal vaginal discharge

Under normal circumstances, secretions from the endometrium, endocervix and vaginal exudates form leucorrhea, which is generally not much in amount and varies with the menstrual cycle. When a tumor occurs in the female reproductive tract, the tumor will become necrotic and ulcerated, and watery, bloody, and rice-soup-like leucorrhea may appear. If there is an infection, it may have a foul odor. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be a sign of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

The early symptoms of uterine fibroids have been clearly introduced. We must carefully analyze the symptoms of the disease in order to determine the abnormalities in the patient's body. There is no need to worry about treatment in the early stages of the disease. At this time, just take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor to control or cure the fibroids. However, when the condition becomes serious, the fibroids will grow larger, and the patient will be under heavy mental pressure and will suffer mental shock and harm. It is recommended that treatment be given after the disease is diagnosed, and reasonable care be provided at the same time.
