Patient's question:
In the past few months, my menstruation has been too thin, and the cycle has been extended significantly. Sometimes I also experience lower abdominal pain. Additionally, there has been an increase in leukorrhea, and I am slightly anemic. My blood pressure has also started to drop. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of uterine fibroids vary depending on the location, size, growth rate, and secondary complications of the tumor.1. Infection and Inflammation: The infection of uterine fibroids can be purulent. Subserous fibroids with a pedicle inversion may re-adhere to the intestines and be susceptible to bacterial infection from the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Inversion: If a pedicle fibroid is severe and does not undergo immediate surgery or cannot rotate on its own, it may lead to pedicle inversion, resulting in a free-floating fibroid.
3. Uterine Fibroids and Uterine Body Cancer: Postmenopausal women with uterine fibroids who experience persistent uterine bleeding should be checked for endometrial cancer simultaneously.
