How to treat uterine fibroids? What is the best food to eat for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Because uterine fibroids are mainly composed of the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells and a small amount of fibrous connective tissue exists as supporting tissue, they are more accurately called uterine leiomyoma. Uterine fibroids.

The etiology of uterine fibroids is still unclear and may involve a complex interaction between normal myometrial cell mutations, sex hormones, and local growth factors.

Uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors. Estrogen is the main factor that promotes the growth of fibroids. Some scholars believe that growth hormone (GH) is also related to the growth of fibroids. GH can promote mitosis in coordination with estrogen and promote the growth of fibroids. They also speculate that human placental lactogen (HpL) can also promote mitosis in coordination with estrogen. They believe that the accelerated growth of uterine fibroids may be related to the high hormone environment of pregnancy and HpL is also involved.

In addition, ovarian function and hormone metabolism are controlled and regulated by higher nerve centers, so nerve center activity may also play an important role in the onset of fibroids. Uterine fibroids are more common in women of childbearing age, widowed women, and women with uncoordinated sexual lives. Chronic pelvic congestion may also be one of the causes of uterine fibroids. In short, the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids may be the result of the combined action of multiple factors.
