There are many tests for fibroids

The prevalence of fibroids is very high now. Fibroids have a certain impact on people's work and life. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Let us learn about the many examinations for fibroids through this article.

Physical examination

Physical examination is an important part of the diagnosis of fibroids. In addition to detailed and purposeful examination of relevant organs and tissues based on the characteristics of certain symptoms complained by the patient, a systematic whole-body examination and local examination of fibroids are also required.

1. The purpose of the systemic examination is to determine whether the patient has fibroids, whether they are benign or malignant, primary or secondary, whether they have distant metastases, the function of important organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, central nervous system, bone marrow), and whether they can tolerate major surgical treatments, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

2. The purpose of local examination is to determine the location of the fibroid, its relationship with surrounding tissues, and whether it can be treated surgically, with a focus on examining the tumor and regional lymph node involvement.

Laboratory tests

Most fibroids have no special symptoms and signs in the early stage, especially malignant fibroids in the internal organs, and early diagnosis is very difficult. With the rapid development of molecular biology, cell biology, fibroid immunology and serial research on fibroids, laboratory diagnosis of fibroids has made great progress, especially the success of hybridoma technology research and the rise of monoclonal antibody engineering, which provide more reference indicators for early diagnosis and efficacy judgment of fibroids. In addition, although routine laboratory tests cannot diagnose fibroids, they are indispensable for differential diagnosis and determining fibroid treatment plans.

Routine examination of blood, urine and stool: Patients with digestive tract fibroma often have anemia, with moderate or mild decreases in red blood cell count and hemoglobin, usually normal hemoglobin and normocytic anemia. The presence of a large number of red blood cells in urine is one of the important indications of urinary tract fibroma. Blood in stool may be an early signal of malignant gastrointestinal fibroma, and should be carefully identified.

The above are various examinations and auxiliary examinations for diagnosing fibroids. You should do the corresponding examinations under the guidance of a doctor, because each doctor will have his own ideas, and you don't have to do all of them. The above examinations can provide you with a reference so as not to think that the doctor charges randomly or to avoid the doctor charging randomly. Finally, patients who are diagnosed with fibroids should maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
