Causes of multiple uterine fibroids Common causes of multiple uterine fibroids

We all know that to treat a disease, we need to find out the cause of the disease, and there are many causes of the disease. For example, uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease. The author introduces the causes of multiple uterine fibroids below?

Medically, uterine fibroids are divided into the following categories according to the different parts of the uterus:

1. Intramural fibroids are located within the muscle wall and are surrounded by the muscle layer. This type of fibroid is most common when it first occurs.

2. Subserous fibroids Intramural fibroids develop toward the serosa, protrude from the surface of the uterus, and directly contact the serosa layer, accounting for about 20%.

3. Submucosal fibroids Intramural fibroids grow in the uterine cavity, protrude into the uterine cavity, and directly contact the mucosal layer.

4. Cervical fibroids are rare. Fibroids grow in the cervix. Because they grow in a low position, they can be embedded in the pelvic cavity, causing compression symptoms. Surgical removal is difficult and can easily damage the ureter and bladder. They are multiple and can occur simultaneously in the same uterus.

At present, the cause of multiple uterine fibroids is still unclear, but some experts believe that multiple uterine fibroids may be related to excessive estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Generally speaking, multiple uterine fibroids are often complicated by endometrial hyperplasia. Multiple uterine fibroids are occasionally seen in women after menarche and are more common in middle-aged women. After menopause, fibroids stop growing and gradually shrink. Data show that estrogen levels increase during pregnancy, fibroids increase rapidly, and the use of exogenous estrogen can accelerate the growth of fibroids.

Generally speaking, there are many causes of multiple uterine fibroids, but patients are advised to maintain good living habits because it is impossible to determine which cause is the most pathogenic.
