Why do I get uterine fibroids? How to treat uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive organs. They can cause female infertility, miscarriage, frequent urination, urination disorders and other hazards, and are the main killer of women's health. So why do uterine fibroids occur? How to treat them?

How do uterine fibroids occur? The exact cause of uterine fibroids is still unclear, but it may be related to excessive estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. The main factors of uterine fibroids are as follows:

1. Eating highly hormone-contaminated foods, such as duck, fish, chicken, vegetables, etc., is an important reason for the high incidence of uterine fibroids.

2. When taking birth control pills, women at an earlier age, if they take birth control pills for a long time, have a higher probability of developing uterine fibroids. Some women take birth control pills for a long time, which will affect the secretion of estrogen in the body.

3. Unstable sex life. Normal sexual stimulation between couples can promote normal neuroendocrine secretion and make the human body's hormone secretion normal and good; unstable sex life can easily cause hormone secretion disorders, leading to chronic pelvic congestion and uterine fibroids.

Uterine fibroids are usually treated with the following methods:

1. Conservative treatment: Conservative treatment is mainly aimed at patients with mild conditions, using reasonable medication to inhibit the growth of fibroids.

2. Surgical treatment: Due to the large incision and severe trauma, traditional surgical treatment has gradually been eliminated.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that uterine fibroids are caused by organ dysfunction, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, the main treatment of uterine fibroids by traditional Chinese medicine is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, eliminate blood stasis and disperse knots, clear away heat and detoxify, soothe the liver and regulate qi, and remove blood stasis and relieve pain.

Among them, the commonly used drugs for conservative treatment are Guizhi Fuling Capsule and Dangui An Capsule.
