What causes uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that mainly occurs in women of childbearing age. Many people are confused about the causes of uterine fibroids. The following will introduce in detail what causes uterine fibroids and give the treatment methods for unmarried girls with uterine fibroids.

1. Genetic factors

Genetic factors are one of the important causes of uterine fibroids. If someone in your family has uterine fibroids, your risk of developing the disease will increase. Genetic genes play a vital role in the occurrence of uterine fibroids, so if someone in your family has the disease, you should pay enough attention to it.

2. Hormone imbalance

Hormone imbalance is also one of the causes of uterine fibroids. The growth of uterine fibroids is affected by estrogen. If the estrogen level in the body is too high, it is easy to cause uterine fibroids. The endocrine system of an unmarried girl is still developing, and the hormone level is relatively unstable, which is prone to hormone imbalance, thus increasing the risk of uterine fibroids.

3. Age Factor

Age is also an important factor that causes uterine fibroids. As women age, the incidence of uterine fibroids will gradually increase. Therefore, if some unmarried girls suffer from uterine fibroids at a young age, they need to pay attention and deal with it in time.

What should an unmarried girl do if she has uterine fibroids?

1. Seek medical help

If an unmarried girl suspects that she has uterine fibroids, she should first seek help from a professional doctor. The doctor will conduct a detailed interview and examination, including gynecological examination, ultrasound, etc., to determine whether she has uterine fibroids and determine the size and location of the fibroids.

2. Observation plus conservative treatment

For young unmarried girls, if the uterine fibroids are small and the symptoms are not obvious, the doctor may recommend a period of observation and conservative treatment. This stage mainly controls the growth of fibroids through regular checkups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

3. Surgery

If the uterine fibroids are large or the symptoms significantly affect the quality of life, the doctor may recommend surgical treatment. Surgical treatments usually include myomectomy, myomectomy, etc. The most appropriate surgical method is selected based on the condition and the patient's specific circumstances.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Assisted Treatment

In addition to traditional Western medicine treatments, some unmarried girls can also consider TCM as an auxiliary treatment. TCM focuses on regulating the overall balance of the body, and can improve the symptoms of uterine fibroids and relieve pain through methods such as Chinese medicine conditioning and acupuncture.

In summary, the occurrence of uterine fibroids is closely related to genetic factors, hormone imbalance and age factors. For unmarried girls with uterine fibroids, it is necessary to seek medical help in time and determine the appropriate treatment method according to the condition. Whether it is conservative treatment or surgical treatment, the situation of each patient is different and should be treated according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, Chinese medicine-assisted treatment is also an optional method, but it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. The most important thing is that unmarried girls should maintain a positive attitude, reasonably adjust their lifestyle during the treatment process, and stay healthy.
