Patient's question:
A 34-year-old woman, who usually doesn't have any issues, but after having sex with her boyfriend, she feels discomfort in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This problem has been troubling her for a long time. Please ask: What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids in the early stage generally do not have significant or obvious symptoms. In very rare cases, they may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, or pressure symptoms. It is also possible to develop secondary anemia, leading to symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. Common clinical symptoms include uterine bleeding and abdominal masses. When the fibroids shrink, they may compress adjacent organs, potentially causing symptoms such as frequent urination, constipation, ureteral obstruction, and hydronephrosis.
