Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is always delayed, and sometimes there is a very small amount of vaginal peeling. I always thought it was a symptom of menopause and didn't pay much attention. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal heaviness and fullness, lower back pain, and frequent urination. My daughter suggested going to the hospital, saying it might be uterine fibroids. What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
1. Increased leukorrhea: Sometimes, a large amount of purulent bloody discharge and necrotic tissue-like material may be expelled, accompanied by a foul odor.2. Changes in menstruation: Extended menstrual cycles, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc.
3. Secondary anemia: If a patient experiences prolonged heavy menstrual bleeding, it may lead to secondary anemia.
4. Pain: Generally, patients do not experience abdominal pain, but they often have lower abdominal fullness, lower back pain, etc.
5. Pressure symptoms: If fibroids grow forward or backward, they may press on the bladder or rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or constipation.
