Sexual dysfunction can cause uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are a common disease among women. When talking about the causes of uterine fibroids, many women will think of inflammation of the reproductive organs, anger, depression, etc. In fact, uterine fibroids are also related to the irregular sexual life between couples.

Sexual life is an important part of a couple's life. A satisfying sex life can generate positive emotions such as interest and excitement, eliminate tension, relieve stress, and enhance confidence. At the same time, sexual life not only involves the reproductive system, but also is interrelated, interacting, and coordinating with other systems in the body. For example, normal sexual stimulation between couples can promote the normal functioning of neuroendocrine and normal and good secretion of human hormones. However, long-term sexual dysfunction in women can easily cause disordered secretion of hormone levels in the body, and even lead to chronic pelvic congestion, which in turn induces uterine fibroids. Related studies have also shown that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to endocrine disorders caused by long-term excessive estrogen levels.

Does uterine fibroids fall into the category of "syndrome and mass" in traditional Chinese medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine has the following explanation for its cause: women are emotional, and discord between husband and wife will inevitably hurt the seven emotions, and the seven emotions will cause internal damage, poor qi movement, imbalance of qi and blood, stagnation of qi and blood stasis, and blood stasis over time, which can become "syndrome and mass". This also shows to a certain extent that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to irregular sexual life.
