How are uterine fibroids caused?

Uterine fibroids may be caused by genetic factors, old age, young age of menarche, obesity, infertility, etc.

1. Genetic factors:

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor disease in gynecology. The cause of this disease is related to genetic factors. If there is a patient with this disease in your immediate family, the risk of the disease may increase.

2. Too old:

As women age, especially after 40 years old, their estrogen levels will drop significantly, affecting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, leading to uterine fibroids.

3. Menarche age is too young:

If the age of menarche is too young, estrogen levels rise prematurely and uterine smooth muscle cells proliferate prematurely, increasing the risk of disease.

4. Obesity

Obese people often have abnormal hormone levels in their bodies, which promotes the growth of uterine fibroids.

5. No children:

If you haven't given birth, the body's estrogen secretion may be too strong, which can easily lead to the formation of uterine fibroids.

The disease can easily cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. It can usually be treated by a doctor through surgical methods such as myomectomy and hysterectomy.
