What causes uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids may be caused by early menstruation, genetics, long-term medication, etc. Once diagnosed with uterine fibroids, they should be treated as soon as possible to avoid adverse effects on health.

1. Early menarche:

If the first menstruation age is early, the sex hormones will act for a long time, and will act on the immature uterine smooth muscle too early, which can easily increase the possibility of uterine fibroids. Usually, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

2. Heredity:

If there is a patient with uterine fibroids in the family, it may be affected by genetic inheritance and cause the next generation to have uterine fibroids. Most uterine fibroids are benign. If there are no obvious symptoms, you can go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

3. Long-term medication:

If you take birth control pills or diet pills for a long time, the hormone level will be relatively high, which may increase the secretion of hormones in the body and may also induce uterine fibroids in the long run. If patients need to take birth control pills or diet pills, they should take them according to the doctor's advice, dosage and course of treatment.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to obesity, late childbearing, etc. If the volume of uterine fibroids increases and serious complications occur, it can be treated by hysterectomy, myomectomy, etc. under the doctor's surgery.
