Uterine fibroids cannot be expelled from the body with menstruation. Patients suffering from uterine fibroids are advised to seek prompt medical attention and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
Uterine fibroids are usually categorized into three types based on their relationship to the uterus: submucosal fibroids, subplasma fibroids and interstitial fibroids.
Submucosal fibroids grow protruding into the uterine cavity and increase the endometrial area due to their occupancy in the uterine cavity, causing abnormal uterine contractions and affecting menstrual blood volume and discharge. It may lead to prolonged periods, increased menstrual flow, and irregular vaginal bleeding. With uterine contraction, submucosal fibroids may prolapse out of the cervical opening, but will not be expelled with menstruation.
Subplasma fibroids grow prominently outside the uterus. Since they do not affect the uterine lining, the clinical manifestations are usually not very obvious.
Intermural fibroids grow between the layers of the uterine muscle. The main manifestations are early or shortened menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.
If you are found to have uterine fibroids, it is recommended that you go to the gynecology department of the hospital in time. You can make a comprehensive assessment based on the specific size, number and location of the fibroids, the age of the patient, etc., and choose to have them followed up regularly or removed through surgery under the guidance of the doctor.
