Is obesity related to uterine fibroids? Can a proper diet treat uterine fibroids?

1. Uterine fibroids, known as the "first gynecological tumor", have always been a difficult and complicated gynecological disease. The irregular menstruation, abdominal mass, compression symptoms, pain, increased leucorrhea, infertility, circulatory system symptoms, etc. caused by it have caused great physical and mental damage to women.

2. In addition, sexual disharmony caused by uterine disease is also one of the important factors causing emotional crisis between couples. According to relevant surveys, the divorce rate of women with uterine disease and hysterectomy is more than 20% higher than that of normal women.

Six factors that cause uterine fibroids

Obesity: On the one hand, fat will be metabolized into estrogen, and uterine fibroids rely on estrogen for growth; on the other hand, for every 10 kilograms of overweight a woman is, the risk of developing uterine fibroids increases by 21%.

Diet: Women who mainly eat meat have a higher chance of developing uterine fibroids than women who mainly eat vegetarian food. Vitamins can reduce the sensitivity of the uterine muscle layer to estrogen and have a regulatory effect on the neuroendocrine system, especially vitamin C.

Oral contraceptives: Women who take contraceptives at an early age have a relatively higher chance of developing uterine fibroids.

Environmental impact: Long-term exposure to toxic and harmful environments, such as exposure to pesticides, eating eels and turtles fed with hormone-containing feed, etc.

Childbearing age: The best childbearing age for women is 25 years old. Women who give birth later are relatively more likely to develop uterine fibroids.

Genetics: Uterine fibroids have a certain genetic tendency. There are many surgical treatments for uterine fibroids, including hormone therapy, ablation, microwave therapy, coagulation knife, etc. Among them, "ablation" is a cutting-edge technology.
