Uterine tumors, a silent threat that often shows no symptoms… but can be detected through internal examination

Uterine tumors (Myoma Uteri or Uterine Fibroid) are caused by abnormal changes in the muscle cells of the uterus. Most of them are benign tumors. The ones that become malignant are very rare (less than 1 percent). But the scary thing is that uterine tumors are most common in women of childbearing age, around 30-50 years old, and most of them do not show any symptoms.

Symptoms that suggest uterine tumors

Small uterine fibroids often have no symptoms. About 50 percent of all uterine fibroids experience symptoms. This means that most women with uterine fibroids are unaware that they have them, but they are often detected during annual health checkups through a pelvic exam or ultrasound.

Common abnormal symptoms are as follows:

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding, gradual increase in menstrual blood, causing unconscious paleness, feeling weak, easily tired, and fainting frequently.
  • I have severe pain during my period.
  • Have pain during intercourse
  • You may feel bloated, feel that your abdomen is distended, or constipated, or may feel a lump in your abdomen.
  • Some people urinate frequently and do not completely empty their bladder.
