Uterine fibroids - is a common pathology, which refers to benign tumors of female genitalia. Clinic of the disease has a variety of symptoms. This is a help in diagnosis.
Uterine fibroids of small size, have no subjective or objective manifestations. Symptoms appear and grow with the increase in size and / or the number of nodes, the development of complications.
When uterine cancer pain depends on the size, location, tumor growth rate and the presence of complications. Most often, localized pain in the abdomen and lower back, and their nature and intensity can vary over a wide range of constant aching pain typical of fibroids with a slow growth rate, the sharp and cramping observed at birth myoma node.
Pain in the uterine myoma
Often, women complain about the presence of uterine bleeding, wearing a recurring character and proceeding according to the type of menorrhagia (longer and / or heavy menstrual bleeding), or an acyclic - the type of Metrorrhagia.
As a result of chronic blood loss develops an explicit or implicit hemorrhagic anemia, symptoms of which are common dizziness, weakness, orthostatic hypotension, a flicker of "flies" in front of the eyes, shortness of breath and palpitations.

You may experience symptoms from other organs as a result of compression of the uterus increased in size. At the same time may suffer from urinary bladder, urethra, ureters, rectum, which finds its reflection in the overall picture of the disease. Large myoma nodes, the sizes of which correspond to 20 weeks gestation or more, can cause the syndrome of compression of the inferior vena cava, growing in a horizontal position. The enlarged uterus may cause radicular pain due to compression of its sacral nerves.
One symptom is the presence of leucorrhoea, which have a slimy character with an increase in vaginal secretions due to the increase in blood levels of estradiol. If the selection gets a brownish color and fetid odor it causes necrosis of suspect mucosa overlying submucous myoma node.
In the presence of complications (myocardial necrosis, twisting legs sprouting tumor in the pelvic peritoneum, myoma node, bleeding into the abdominal cavity due to rupture a blood vessel tumors), the picture of "acute abdomen."
Despite all the variety and severity of symptoms that occur when uterine fibroids, the diagnosis should ideally be installed even at the preclinical stage. This is possible if the regular passage of checkups.
