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 cooperates with estrogen to promote mitosis and promote the growth of fibroids. They also speculate that placental lactogen (HpL) can also cooperate with estrogen to promote mitosis. 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 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. There are 8 obvious symptoms of uterine fibroids 1. Abnormal menstruation. The most obvious manifestation is increased flow and prolonged cycle. Fibroids can change the shape and volume of the uterine cavity, affect the normal function of the muscles, compress the veins, and affect menstrual bleeding. 2. Lower abdominal mass. As the intrauterine fibroids grow, the patient can feel a noticeable mass from the outside of the lower abdomen. The volume of the lower abdomen will gradually increase, accompanied by a noticeable feeling of swelling. 3. Abnormal leucorrhea. The patient's leucorrhea will increase significantly, become thick and have a strange smell. Sometimes, tissue similar to rotting flesh may be discharged with a bad smell. 4. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating. As the fibroids grow larger, they may compress the bladder or ureter, causing many abnormalities during urination. 5. Abdominal and body discomfort. Women with uterine fibroids often feel swelling in the lower abdomen, which then develops into back pain or fatigue. This phenomenon becomes more severe during menstruation. 6. Infertility: If the fibroids in a woman's uterus compress or block the fallopian tubes, the chances of pregnancy will be greatly reduced. 7. Secondary anemia. Long-term prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual volume can easily cause anemia, leading to fatigue, dizziness, palpitations and many other discomforts. 8. Hypoglycemia. This rarely happens and will disappear immediately after the tumor is removed. The patient will feel obvious dizziness or even shock on an empty stomach, which will slowly ease after injecting a little glucose. Three points are needed to prevent uterine fibroids 1. Pay attention to menstrual care During menstruation, women should keep their vulva and vagina clean, and avoid having sex during or just after menstruation. After menstruation and childbirth, they should pay attention to recovery, arrange their diet properly, avoid eating high-hormone foods, and exercise appropriately to improve their physical quality. 2. Regular gynecological examinations Since most uterine fibroids are asymptomatic, it is difficult for women to find out that they are sick, which can easily delay treatment. For the sake of health, women should go to regular hospitals for gynecological examinations regularly to achieve early detection and early treatment. 3. Regulate your emotions properly Women should learn to regulate their emotions. When bad emotions arise, they can find an effective way to vent their dissatisfaction, prevent anger, sadness, and thinking. They should strive to be satisfied and happy. |
