Large intramural fibroids increase the area of ​​the uterine cavity and endometrium, resulting in poor uterine contractions or excessive endometrial hyperplasia, which can lead to shortened menstrual cycles, increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. Submucosal fibroids often cause menorrhagia, and as the fibroids grow larger, the menstrual period becomes longer. Once the fibroids become necrotic, ulcerated, or infected, there will be persistent or irregular vaginal bleeding or purulent discharge. Subserosal fibroids and small intramural fibroids often have no obvious menstrual changes.
