Patient's question:
In recent times, my abdomen has been frequently in pain, and sometimes my menstrual cycle is irregular. When my period comes, the blood flow is relatively light. I want to know if this could be uterine leiomyosarcoma.The help I need: What are the symptoms of uterine leiomyosarcoma?
Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms include:1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom,。It accounts for 65.5%–78.2%.
2. Abdominal mass is more common in cases of uterine leiomyosarcoma transformation; the mass may rapidly decrease in size. If the sarcoma grows into the vagina, patients often feel a weak mass inside the vagina. The uterus is usually reduced in size, with an irregular shape and a softer texture.
3. Abdominal pain is also a relatively common symptom, as rapid tumor growth causes abdominal distension or dull pain in patients.
4. Increased vaginal discharge can be serous, bloody, or white. If it is infectious, it may be purulent and foul-smelling.
