Uterine fibroids usually shrink after menopause. How big a uterine fibroid should be before it needs to be removed?

1. Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are the most common benign tumors of the female genitalia. Most of them are asymptomatic, and a few of them present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. If the pedicle is twisted or other conditions occur, it may cause pain. Multiple uterine fibroids are common, and the exact cause of this disease is unknown. Modern Western medicine uses sex hormones or surgery for treatment, and there is no other ideal treatment.

2. Cosmetics cause uterine fibroids to occur at a younger age. In the past, uterine fibroids were more common in middle-aged women over 30 years old. Now, uterine fibroids also occur in women in their twenties. Studies have shown that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is also related to the frequent use of cosmetics by many women. Let us learn about the disease of uterine fibroids.

3. In gynecological clinics, 30% to 40% of patients are uterine fibroids, and nearly 30% of them are young women in their early 30s. The younger age of uterine fibroids is closely related to the abuse of hormones, hormone beauty and other anti-aging beauty products by young women.

4. The growth of uterine fibroids is related to the overstimulation of female hormones. Therefore, uterine fibroids are prone to occur in women of childbearing age with vigorous ovarian function. As the hormone level of pregnant women increases, uterine fibroids will also increase. On the contrary, uterine fibroids of menopausal women generally stop growing, and some even shrink. From clinical cases, many young women go to beauty salons regularly to delay aging, and take beauty salons' homemade hormone-containing anti-aging beauty products, which just leads to excess estrogen in the body, stimulating the formation of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.
