What are the causes of uterine fibroids? What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for uterine fibroids?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, uterine fibroids are caused by seven kinds of internal injuries, organ dysfunction, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Modern medical research has found that estrogen in fibroid tissue is more popular than normal uterine muscle tissue. It is suggested that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to endocrine disorders caused by long-term excessive estrogen levels. At the same time, hormone metabolism is controlled by advanced nerve centers, so nerve center activity may also play a very important role in promoting the disease. In addition, cytogenetic studies have shown that some fibroids have cytogenetic abnormalities, so it is recommended to use it to achieve good results.

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, but it may be related to excessive estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation.

(i) Occasionally seen in women after menarche, more common in middle-aged women. After menopause, some fibroids stop growing and gradually shrink, but they cannot disappear on their own;

(ii) endometrial hyperplasia with multiple myomas;

(3) Patients with ovarian granulosa cell tumors and theca cell tumors (which can secrete estrogen) often have uterine fibroids;

(4) During pregnancy, estrogen levels increase and fibroids grow rapidly;

Exogenous estrogen can accelerate the growth of fibroids.

Susceptible groups

Compared with more than ten years ago, uterine fibroids are increasingly common in middle-aged women in their thirties and forties, especially those who are infertile, have sexual dysfunction and are depressed.

Category 1: Childless women entering menopause early

The number of primordial follicles in a woman's lifetime is limited, and the ovulation period is about 30 years. During pregnancy and lactation, due to the action of hormones, the ovaries suspend ovulation and do not resume until the 4th to 6th month of lactation. Therefore, the ovaries postpone a certain number of ovulations. Women with a history of childbearing should enter menopause later. Women who have not given birth cannot protect progesterone in a timely and effective manner and are prone to hormone-dependent diseases. Uterine fibroids are one of them. Authoritative studies have shown that if women have a complete pregnancy process in their lifetime, they can increase their immunity for 10 years, and these 10 years of immunity are mainly against gynecological tumors.

Category 2: Sexual dysfunction affects uterine health

Traditional Chinese medicine says that uterine fibroids belong to the category of "stomach lumps" (diseases of stomach lumps). The formation of "stomach lumps" is mostly related to weak vital energy and imbalance of qi and blood. Chinese medicine explains "stomach lumps": women are people of temperament. Disharmony between husband and wife will inevitably hurt the seven emotions, which will cause internal injuries, poor qi movement, imbalance of qi and blood, and qi stagnation and blood stasis. Over time, "stomach lumps" will occur. It can be seen that normal sexual stimulation between husband and wife can promote the normal progress of neuroendocrine, so that the human body secretes hormones normally and well. Long-term disorders are likely to cause disordered secretion of hormone levels, leading to chronic pelvic congestion and inducing uterine fibroids.

Category 3: Depressed women often have uterine fibroids

Middle-aged women face the dual mental pressure of work and family, which makes them prone to depression. With the arrival of menopause, women begin to enter the "estrogen control period". During this period, women's own depression can easily increase estrogen secretion and enhance its effects, which can sometimes last for several months or even years. This is also an important cause of uterine fibroids.
