Are Uterine Fibroids Dangerous? Do you need treatment? Reminder: These 3 types of fibroids should be paid attention to

The disease "uterine fibroids" must have been heard by many women. It is the most common benign tumor among female reproductive organ tumors and the most common tumor in the human body.

　　A related research and investigation shows that the etiology of uterine fibroids is quite complicated, and so far it is still not fully clarified. It is a hormone-dependent tumor in clinical view.

　　It is precisely because its pathogenesis is related to hormones, and ovarian function and hormone metabolism are controlled and regulated by the advanced nerve center , so the activity of the nerve center plays a tumor role in the pathogenesis of tumors.

　　In addition, some experts believe that the disease mostly occurs in women of childbearing age, widowed, and sexually discordant women, so chronic pelvic congestion caused by long-term disharmony in sexual life may also be one of the reasons for inducing the uterus.

　　All in all, the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids is the result of a combination of factors.

　　Usually, the vast majority of patients with uterine fibroids are asymptomatic, and the disease is only discovered during an occasional pelvic exam or ultrasound.

　　If the patient has symptoms, it is mostly related to factors such as tumor location, growth rate, degeneration, and complications. Usually, the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids are irregular menstruation, abdominal mass and compression symptoms, increased leucorrhea, anemia and so on.

　　Of course, some patients also have abdominal pain symptoms. From a clinical point of view, uterine fibroids usually do not cause pain, but many clinical patients describe themselves as having a feeling of bulging in the lower abdomen and soreness in the lower back .

　　Uterine fibroids combined with abdominal pain are often signs of complications, such as subserous fibroids with torsion of the pedicle, or when uterine fibroids have red degeneration, acute abdominal pain will occur . In addition, fibroids combined with endometriosis and adenomyosis can also cause abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea.

　　So the question is, is there any danger in uterine fibroids, and which fibroids need to be vigilant?

1. Fibroids with obvious symptoms

　　As mentioned above, uterine fibroids also have different symptoms. Patients may experience symptoms such as prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual blood volume, abdominal pain , and even develop anemia. Therefore, from a clinical point of view, uterine fibroids with obvious symptoms that have affected the patient's normal life and health status should be removed in time;

2. Fibroids that cause complications

　　If uterine fibroids develop to a certain extent, not only the patients will have typical symptoms of gynecological diseases, but other complications may also be induced.

　　For example, uterine fibroids compress the bladder, which will increase the frequency of urination, and even lead to poor urination and urinary retention in severe cases . Moreover, fibroids continue to occupy the internal space, and may also cause blockage of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes , which in turn leads to habitual miscarriage or infertility. In this case, excision treatment is required;

3. Abnormal fibroids

　　If the growth rate of uterine fibroids is very fast in a short period of time, and a mass can be clearly felt in the abdomen, you should seek medical attention in time to see if it is a malignant tumor.

　　In addition, uterine fibroids are mainly hormone-dependent tumors , so after menopause, as hormone secretion decreases, uterine fibroids will also shrink and shrink. However, if postmenopausal uterine fibroids gradually increase and continue to grow, the possibility of malignant transformation should be suspected and treatment should be timely.

　　Finally, it should be emphasized that in most cases, as long as uterine fibroids do not have any clinical symptoms, no special treatment is required.

　　However, if the patient has combined symptoms or complications, and has multiple uterine fibroids, surgery should be performed as soon as possible according to the doctor's recommendation, so as to avoid greater impact on health.
