What are the causes of uterine fibroids? What should I do if I have uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease in today's society. More and more people are harmed by uterine fibroids. In fact, the occurrence of uterine fibroids is directly related to their own bodies. Everyone may know that there are many causes of uterine fibroids, and many patients with uterine fibroids are not very clear about the causes of uterine fibroids.

What are the causes of uterine fibroids?

1. External mechanical stimulation of the uterine cavity, such as multiple artificial abortions, etc. Therefore, female friends should take contraceptive measures to avoid artificial abortions as much as possible or reduce the number of abortions.

2. The occurrence of uterine fibroids is closely related to the level of female estrogen. Therefore, female friends should try to reduce the intake of estrogen in their daily life.

3. Long-term uterine spasms and long-term tension will cause the uterine wall muscle fibers to react and produce uterine fibroids.

4. Reproductive obstruction factors such as congenital or acquired diseases can lead to obstruction of the reproductive tract, inability of menstrual blood to flow out, and cause adenomyosis.

5. Progesterone is one of the factors that cause endometriosis. The incidence of adenomyosis in postpartum women is higher than that in nulliparous women, which indicates that the disease is related to progesterone.

6. Uterine surgery and improper surgery lead to endometriosis. For example, cesarean section, mid-pregnancy cesarean section, uterine fibroid resection, and uterine malformation correction can bring endometrial fragments into the myometrium and on the other hand, they can also damage the myometrium, thereby increasing the incidence of endometriosis.

7. Age factors. This disease usually occurs in women aged 40-50. This age group happens to be in menopause, the ovarian function declines or even shrinks and ages, and the ovaries ovulate rarely. When the estrogen level in the body rises, not only will the endometrium overproliferate, but it will also spread to the myometrium, inducing adenomyosis.
