Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system, commonly found in women aged 30 to 50 years old, and rare in women under 20 years old. After menopause, with the decline of sex hormone levels, fibroids can gradually shrink or recede. According to medical statistics, about 20% of women over 30 years old have uterine fibroids. The common symptoms include: increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period, which may lead to secondary anemia, weakness, palpitations and other symptoms; a hard mass may be palpated in the abdomen when the fibroids gradually increase in size so that the uterus is more than 3 months old; fibroids in the lower part of the anterior wall of the uterus may compress the bladder and cause frequent and urgent urination, while fibroids in the posterior wall of the uterus may cause constipation and lower abdominal cramps. Other symptoms include increased leucorrhea, back pain, infertility or miscarriage. Gynecological examination and B-mode ultrasound are the most effective ways to diagnose fibroids!
