      Uterine fibroids What's the harm?

      1. Infection and suppuration

      Fibroid infection is often the consequence of tumor pedicle torsion or acute endometritis, and blood-borne infection is extremely rare. The infection can sometimes be purulent, and in a few cases abscesses form in the tumor tissue. Intestinal adhesion occurs after subserous fibroid pedicle torsion, which can be infected by intestinal bacteria. Inflamed fibroids adhere to the uterine appendage, causing purulent inflammation.

      2. twist

      Subserosal fibroids can twist in the pedicle, causing acute stomach ache . If patients with severe tumor pedicle torsion do not undergo surgery immediately or cannot turn back on their own, free fibroids may form due to the twisting of the tumor pedicle, as mentioned above. Torsion of fibroids can also drive the entire uterus, causing uterine axial torsion. The site of uterine torsion is mostly near the internal opening of the cervical canal, but this rarely occurs. It is mostly caused by the large subserosal fibroids attached to the bottom of the uterus and the long and slender cervical canal. The symptoms and signs are similar to those of ovarian cyst tumor pedicle torsion, except that the mass is harder.

      3. Uterine fibroids combined with uterine corpus cancer

      The proportion of uterine fibroids combined with uterine body cancer is 2%, which is much higher than that of uterine fibroids combined with uterine body cancer. cervical cancer is high. Therefore, menopausal patients with uterine fibroids who have persistent uterine bleeding should be alert to the coexistence of endometrial cancer. Before determining treatment, diagnosis and curettage should be done.
