Causes of uterine fibroids: High hormone diet Every woman’s body produces estrogen, and when there is too much of it, it may cause fibroids. Nowadays, many people like to take some health supplements, which seem to be good for health but actually affect the level of estrogen. There are also many fried foods as well as fatty meats, which are high estrogen foods. Age The number of patients suffering from uterine fibroids is more around 40 years old. Although the cause is not completely clear, most people believe that there is a certain connection with the aging of the body, as age increases, the function of the ovaries degenerates, so the possibility of suffering from various gynecological diseases increases, while the number of young people suffering from the disease is significantly less. Mental factors When women are under a lot of stress, the hormone levels in their bodies may change, which then affects the health of the uterus. In fact, there are many diseases that may be caused by psychological stress, such as breast enlargement, depression, migraine, etc. It is recommended that you should pay attention to regulating your emotions in general to prevent fibroids. Genetics Uterine fibroids have no obvious genetic predisposition, but there is a family aggregation, which means that if one of the sisters or mothers and daughters in the family has fibroids, the chances of other women having fibroids will be higher. The earlier the age of menarche and the number of births, the higher the incidence of fibroids. The incidence of fibroids in fertile women is significantly lower than that in infertile women, and the incidence of fibroids decreases as the number of pregnancies increases, probably because pregnancy reduces the duration of estrogen action. The reason for this is that pregnancy can reduce the duration of estrogen action. Long-term sexual disorders are closely related to the health of the uterus. The woman in the orgasm, the woman’s uterus will expand about twice; once the orgasm point began to soothe, the uterus will slowly return to its original shape, the whole retraction process generally takes 10-20 minutes. If women do not have orgasms for a long time, the uterus will expand, the uterus will increase in size by 2-3 times, and it is not easy to restore the original shape, providing “soil” for the growth of fibroids. Obesity In recent years, research has found that obesity is positively correlated with the incidence of fibroids. Each 10kg increase in body weight can increase the risk of uterine fibroids by 21%, or each 1 unit increase in body mass index can increase the risk of uterine fibroids by 6%.
