How to check yourself for pelvic masses

Talking from today’s open case A few days ago a patient came to the clinic, the conversation felt that she was a very careful and cautious person, probably because of menopause, a lot of words, the community physical examination found that she had uterine fibroids to come for review, no written information. Who knew that the gynecological examination scared me, the pelvic mass was flat and umbilical and hard, and the cervix was squeezed into the corner. The surgical result was a huge broad ligament fibroid. I usually think women are more careful and always notice things in their stomachs, but she was privy to such a large tumor. If a fibroid or cyst grows, it is not easy to find out by yourself. If you can feel it by yourself, it is at least the size of 3 months of pregnancy. In the evening or morning relaxation lying flat lower limbs flexed, have a hand in the small abdomen from the top and down gently pressed, soft collapse no problem, if you feel a hard mass must promptly seek medical attention, not to grow so big, the risk of surgery is still quite large.
