What are the causes of uterine fibroids and how to prevent them?

At present, Western medicine has not yet determined the occurrence of uterine fibroids, which is mainly attributed to abnormal estrogen secretion. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the formation factors of uterine fibroids are not only this, but for modern women, the more important reason is that they like to eat cold food and have a high-pressure lifestyle.

Eating cold food and drinking phlegm can cause blood stasis and easily lead to uterine fibroids

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating too much cold food can lead to spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness, abnormal water or blood distribution metabolism in the body, deterioration of uterine cavity circulation, and long-term lead to phlegm and dampness obstruction, which may lead to the formation of "phlegm and blood stasis". If phlegm and blood stasis are not eliminated from the body, tumors are likely to form in the body, and the uterus will lead to the so-called "uterine leiomyoma", accompanied by the occurrence of various metabolic diseases.

Ice products and cold food will accelerate the formation of uterine fibroids. Zhou Zonghan, a Chinese medicine doctor, said that most cold food has the effect of clearing heat, purging fire and detoxifying, which is suitable for people with hot constitution, but it is best avoided by women with normal constitution or weak constitution.

Common cold foods include bitter melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, loofah, cabbage, tomato, pear, herbal tea, coconut juice, fairy grass tea, lotus root, white radish, orange, grapefruit, grapefruit, lettuce salad, lettuce juice, etc. If you can't suppress your appetite, try to cook or fry it to reduce the coldness and don't eat too much.

Prevent uterine fibroids from forming and do not supplement estrogen foods

To prevent the formation of uterine fibroids, special attention should be paid to "be careful of excessive tonic" in diet. Foods such as snow clam cream, sheep placenta, royal jelly, chicken skin, and animal offal are most likely to have a large amount of animal estrogen residues. Excessive intake can easily induce uterine lesions. Even longan and red date tea should be stopped in moderation regardless of uterine fibroids or cold constitution. In summer, limit one cup per week, about 250 to 300 cc per cup. In winter, a maximum of 2-3 cups per week.
