Why are women more likely to get uterine fibroids? Are depressed women more likely to get uterine fibroids?

People know little about the cause of uterine fibroids, but through a large amount of clinical data, we have found that many women are more likely to develop uterine fibroids. These people can be called high-risk groups for uterine fibroids, such as women with depression and women who are pregnant.

1. Women with depression and nulliparous women. Depression is relatively harmful to people's health, both men and women. Middle-aged women face the dual mental pressure of work and family, and are prone to depression. With the arrival of menopause, during this period, women's own depression can easily increase secretion and enhance function, which can sometimes last for several months or even years, which is also an important cause of uterine fibroids. Women have a limited number of primordial follicles in their lifetime and a long ovulation time. During pregnancy and lactation, due to the action of hormones, the ovaries suspend ovulation and do not resume until after lactation. Therefore, the ovaries postpone a certain number of ovulations, and women with a history of childbearing enter menopause later. Women who have not given birth cannot be protected in a timely and effective manner, and are prone to dependent diseases, uterine fibroids being one of them.

2. Sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction is also a common cause of uterine fibroids, which many people may not understand. In traditional medicine, uterine fibroids belong to the category of "syndrome" (diseases of gastric lumps). The formation of "syndrome" is mostly related to weak vital energy and imbalance of qi and blood. Chinese medicine explains "syndrome": women are people of temperament. Disharmony between husband and wife will inevitably hurt the seven emotions, the seven emotions will hurt the internal organs, the qi will not flow smoothly, the qi and blood will be imbalanced, and qi stagnation and blood stasis will form "syndrome" over time. It can be seen that normal sexual stimulation between husband and wife can promote the normal progress of neuroendocrine and make the human endocrine normal and good. Long-term imbalance can easily cause secretion disorders, leading to chronic pelvic congestion and uterine fibroids.

It can be seen from this that we can have a certain understanding of the cause of uterine fibroids, but we should not go into extremes. The exact cause has not yet been found. The above-mentioned women with depression, infertile women and women with sexual dysfunction are more likely to suffer from uterine fibroids. These people should strengthen the prevention of the disease.
