Are uterine fibroids serious? Who are the high-risk groups for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are one of the common benign tumors in the female genitals. Patients are mainly women between 30 and 50 years old. With the increase of age, the possibility of women of childbearing age suffering from uterine fibroids gradually increases, and even the possibility of recurrence after myomectomy is not small. Although the probability of malignant change of uterine fibroids is very low, there is still a risk of malignant change.

The cause of uterine fibroids is generally believed to be related to increased estrogen secretion and sexual dysfunction. With the arrival of menopause, the estrogen control period will appear. During this period, due to the pressure of life, family, work, etc., emotional depression can easily lead to increased estrogen secretion. In addition, if you take contraceptives or diet pills for a long time, estrogen will also increase.

The main hazards of uterine fibroids include cancer and infertility. Although uterine fibroids are benign tumors, a small number of uterine fibroids still have the possibility of malignant changes, especially in elderly women. Therefore, patients with rapidly growing fibroids or postmenopausal uterine fibroids should be awake for 12 minutes. Uterine fibroids can also compress the entrance of the fallopian tubes at the uterine horns, deform the uterus, hinder the implantation of fertilized eggs, and lead to infertility, but as long as patients with uterine fibroids recover, they can usually get pregnant again.

So, who is prone to uterine fibroids? We know that the incidence rate is high in middle-aged women, especially introverted and sentimental women are more likely to suffer from uterine fibroids, or women who have not given birth, entered menopause early, have sexual dysfunction and uterine problems are also prone to uterine fibroids. Therefore, middle-aged women should pay more attention to their health and avoid uterine fibroids.
