When fibroids occur, some women experience dysuric disorders. They wonder, “Can fibroids put pressure on the bladder?” The bladder and uterus are located close to each other and if the tumor grows, it will inevitably put pressure on the bladder. Specialists at the Other Gynecology clinic will accurately determine whether incontinence is a consequence of fibroids or a separate pathology. On the website www.drugayaGinekologiya.ru you can find out what other consequences myomatous nodes in the uterus lead to.
Symptoms of fibroids
Uterine fibroids can last for years and not make themselves felt. Only during a routine examination by a gynecologist or when complications occur is the disease detected. But sometimes it is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- severe pain during menstruation;
- long and heavy periods;
- feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen;
- frequent trips to the toilet with pressure on the bladder;
- pain in the pelvis, back or muscles;
- inability to bear a child.
When examined by a gynecologist at the “Other Gynecology” medical center, attention is paid to the density of the uterine tissue, its surface and size. During a gynecological examination, a specialist detects irregularities on the surface of the uterus and local compactions. Using ultrasound, doctors learn about the location and type of fibroids.
Bladder Pressure Symptoms
Pressure is exerted on the bladder when the tumor grows to 5 cm in diameter and deforms the inner surface of the uterus. Most often, dysuric disorders are caused by a serous type of fibroid that grows inside the abdominal cavity.
The following symptoms indicate the occurrence of pressure:
- There is a change in the nature of urination (the frequency of trips to the toilet decreases or increases, false urges often appear, cystitis - inflammation of the bladder - rarely occurs).
- When going to the restroom, a woman suffers from pain and cutting in the urethra or lower abdomen.
- Complete incontinence or partial leakage of urine.
- A sudden urge to go to the toilet when standing up or sitting for a long time.
- The woman constantly feels that her bladder is full.
In some cases, uterine fibroids do not manifest themselves in any way, and only by urinary disorders in women will they suspect something wrong. With thoughts that this is due to cystitis or infectious diseases, the patient turns to a gynecologist. Girls and women should not rush to undergo surgery to get rid of urinary incontinence. Sometimes you just need to use conservative treatment methods, and the uterus will stop putting pressure on the bladder.
In order to detect fibroids in a timely manner, it is important to choose a competent specialist. These are the doctors you can find at the “Other Gynecology” center.
