What causes uterine fibroids to grow rapidly?

The rapid growth of uterine fibroids may be related to genetic factors, changes in hormone levels in the body, bad living habits and certain diseases. Rapidly growing fibroids need to be watched carefully and you should see a doctor as soon as possible to check for potential pathological problems.

The growth rate of uterine fibroids is affected by multiple factors. Heredity is an important factor. If there are women in the family with uterine fibroids, the probability of inheritance will increase significantly. Excessive estrogen or hormone imbalance in the body will stimulate the proliferation of fibroid cells and make them grow rapidly. Obesity is closely related to excessive secretion of estrogen. Bad eating habits such as high-fat and high-sugar diets are also potential causes. Excessive stress in life and staying up late for a long time may accelerate the growth of fibroids by affecting endocrine function. Certain diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian tumors may interfere with normal hormone secretion and also cause fibroids to grow too fast.

It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly when a uterine fibroid is found to be growing rapidly. The type, size and location of the fibroid can be determined by imaging examinations such as B-ultrasound or MRI. Drug treatment may consider the use of mifepristone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH agonists) and other drugs to control hormone levels; if the fibroid is large or compresses surrounding organs, surgery such as uterine myomectomy may also be an option. Adjusting lifestyle habits is also very important. Maintaining moderate exercise, reducing high-fat foods in the diet, eating more fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, and maintaining a regular work and rest schedule to improve hormone balance in the body and prevent further development of fibroids.
