Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that women may suffer from, and few people develop into malignant tumors, but women still cannot take them lightly. Uterine fibroids not only cause infertility, but may also lead to other gynecological diseases, and timely treatment is the most important. Can uterine fibroids be checked during menstruation?
Women are not suitable for uterine fibroids examination during their menstrual period, and they need to wait for ultrasound diagnosis 3-7 days after menstruation. Except for uterine fibroids, other cervical and gynecological diseases require waiting until menstruation is complete, so the accuracy will be relatively high. Ultrasound is an effective imaging examination method.
Uterine fibroids generally have no symptoms. A few may experience vaginal bleeding and abdominal lumps. Before treatment, ultrasound gynecological examination can be combined to diagnose the size and location of uterine fibroids. The following are several methods for examining uterine fibroids:
1. Gynecological examination: This can effectively detect irregular enlargement or uniformity of the uterus. For example, subserosal fibroids can touch single or multiple nodular protrusions on the surface of the uterus and are hard; Submucosal leiomyoma sometimes opens the uterine opening and reaches the lower end of the uterine leiomyoma through the uterine opening; If it is suspended in the vagina, the tumor can be seen and its pedicle can be touched.
2. B-ultrasound examination: This examination method is now quite common, with an accuracy rate of over 90%. If the patient has small fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids, it is difficult to rely solely on gynecological examinations. Ultrasound can accurately display uterine enlargement, irregular shape, tumor size and location, and is one of the main diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids.
3. Laparoscopic examination: Hysteroscopy should be used to assist in the diagnosis of uterine fibroids combined with other intrauterine diseases. When uterine fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids smaller than 1cm, are difficult to detect by ultrasound. At this point, a hysteroscope should be used to make a clear diagnosis. This method can effectively diagnose and treat diseases, and it is also very fast. It will not cause any pain to patients and has high safety.
In addition, daily self-care is very important for most female friends if they want to prevent gynecological diseases. Pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, wear cotton underwear as much as possible, rest more during menstruation, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
