Submucosal uterine fibroids, also known as uterine submucosal fibroids, are benign fibroids that do not pose a threat to the patient's life. Most women nowadays have submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity due to various reasons. So, is the submucosal fibroid of the uterine cavity severe?
Submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity can cause the following hazards:
1. If the submucosal fibroids of the uterine cavity are not controlled and continue to expand towards the uterus, they are prone to infection. As a result, endometritis may develop into pelvic inflammatory disease, which can cause abdominal pain in women. However, a small number of submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity may stimulate the endometrium due to their descent, which can cause uterine contractions and women may experience paroxysmal uterine contractions like pain.
2. The most common cause of submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity is uterine bleeding. Some may exhibit periodicity, while others have no regularity at all. The bleeding time is unpredictable, and most of the blood that flows out is bright red. If the following symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. If the fibroids are small, a negative color ultrasound is needed.
3. Submucosal fibroids in the uterine cavity can also cause a white discharge odor. This is due to poor blood circulation in the uterus, causing infection and necrosis of the surrounding tissues of fibroids. This can lead to bloody or purulent discharge, accompanied by a foul odor.
If submucosal fibroids are found in the uterine cavity, it is important to rest regularly in daily life and avoid overexertion. At the same time, do not be overly nervous and maintain a happy mood.
