The uterus, the "pillar" of women, is connected to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and the lower is balanced by the vagina. Aside from playing a role in pregnancy, few people pay attention to the health of the uterus.
If you don't care, it is estimated that it is the most painful few days of the month to remember its existence.
Today, Zhimei is going to knock on the blackboard!!! The gynecological symptoms that you ignore are likely to be that your uterus is "calling for help."
1. Menstrual periods become more frequent and prolonged
If the aunt is always stuck, or if the menstrual volume increases (>80 ml)[1], it is likely that the uterine fibroids are at work.
When the fibroids grow, a large mass can even be touched in the abdomen. The symptoms of compression caused by enlarged fibroids are also unbearable, so if constipation and urinary urgency occur at the same time, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. Ming and his aunt broke off relations for many years, but suddenly came again
For mothers who have been menopausal for many years, if they suddenly bleed, they are not "eighteen years old again".
Middle-aged and elderly women are often at high risk of endometrial cancer. If you find your mom bleeding again after menopause, take her to the hospital quickly.
3. Bleeding after intercourse, be vigilant
If vaginal bleeding manifests as contact bleeding after each he, it is important to consider cervical cancer, the most evil of gynecological malignancies.
As the "shoulder handle" of the gynecological malignancy field, the age of onset of cervical cancer is getting younger and younger.
May be accompanied by white or bloody, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, contact bleeding. Once the above symptoms appear, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, especially those girls who have had a "high-risk" sex life. Don't look at the cervix is small, but it is merciless to get up.
4. Polyps everywhere
Nasal polyps, small intestinal polyps ... Polyps may bubble up in every part of the body. The same goes for the uterus.
Menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation should consider the occurrence of endometrial polyps.
High secretion of estrogen, long-term gynecological inflammatory stimulation, and "three high" diseases are all high risk factors [2]. Asymptomatic patients <1 cm in diameter can be observed and followed up, and if menstruation changes, hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps is recommended as early as possible.
If you are in pain every month, it may not be just a simple "dysmenorrhea", but a signal of disease.
1. Exodus endometrium
Does every visit from a relative always make you unhappy, and even the pain will radiate to the anus and thighs; will the pain be aggravated every time you snap to the G tide?
At this time, don't believe the "pain and happiness" myth, the reason why the creation of people failed, the pain is getting worse and worse, it is likely to suffer from endometriosis.
The ectopic endometrium is like a time bomb, where to go, buried in the bilateral ovaries is commonly known as the "smart sac", that is, chocolate cyst, manifested as left or right side of the lower abdomen pain.
In addition to the above symptoms, if there is uterine enlargement, then it is necessary to consider endometriosis of the difficult disciple uterine adenomyosis. Currently, drug therapy is preferred, but surgery is the only effective method when drug therapy is less effective.
2. Nasty inflammation
For common inflammatory diseases in gynecology , pelvic inflammatory diseases (including what we know as endometritis ), common symptoms are lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal secretions, and systemic symptoms such as chills and high fever.
It is generally common in sexually active women, especially newly married young couples must pay attention to "doing what they can". In addition, paying attention to personal hygiene and self-cleaning is also a good way to prevent it.
If you find that the small belly is secretly getting bigger, and the aunt still comes on time, then after ruling out the "happiness fat", be careful that the following diseases come to the door:
1. Uterine fibroids
If the uterus is evenly enlarged or even a small lump can be felt in the abdomen, the aunt is procrastinating when she visits, the amount is too much, combined with the long-lasting compression symptoms, it is likely to be a uterine fibroid, please move to the hospital for further confirmation.
2. Adenomyosis
The degree of abdominal roundness does not exceed the size of the uterus in pregnancy for 3 months, the feel of the touch is hard, if it is not coincidental that the couple has been addicted to creating people for many years and still has no success, and accompanied by a long history of dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, which may be caused by adenomyosis.
The above symptoms are common gynecological disease manifestations, life we for gynecological problems of cognition is often stuck in a variety of vaginitis and cervical-related diseases, few people pay attention to the health of the uterus.
Today, Zhimei reminded the majority of female friends that those seemingly "normal" symptoms may be distress signals from the womb!
