What are the causes of uterine fibroids?

  There is a relationship between uterine fibroids and estrogen.  The cause of uterine fibroids is not very clear, but most believe that it has a lot to do with estrogen in the body because fibroids are more sensitive to estrogen, so it is thought that high estrogen is an important factor in causing fibroids. It is also believed that most soy products contain some estrogen, so women who like to eat soy products are more likely to have fibroids than other women who do not eat soy products, and for women who already have fibroids, overeating soy products may promote the growth of fibroids.  The most common cause of fibroids in women of childbearing age is the high level of estrogen in their bodies, so many women with fibroids will have their fibroids reduced after menopause due to the decline in estrogen levels.  Chinese medicine believes that uterine fibroids are mainly caused by Qi stagnation and blood stasis or phlegm and dampness accumulation, resulting in Qi and blood imbalance, Qi stagnation and blood stasis, and stasis over time.  In conclusion, the exact cause of fibroids is unknown, but it is generally believed to be related to estrogen levels. Don’t be nervous about having fibroids, as long as they are not very large and there are no significant changes in your menstruation, and you can review them regularly every year.
