Causes of uterine fibroids in women

I believe everyone knows the importance of the uterus to female friends. If there is a problem with the uterus of a female friend, it will cause great harm to the body. Therefore, we recommend that female friends should pay attention to taking good care of their uterus. The uterus is prone to various diseases. For example, some female friends will have uterine fibroids. So what exactly causes the occurrence of uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are 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. Since uterine fibroids are mainly formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue existing as a supporting tissue, it is more accurate to call them uterine leiomyomas. Referred to as uterine fibroids.

The etiology of uterine fibroids is still unclear and may involve complex interactions among normal myometrial cell mutations, sex hormones, and local growth factors.

A large number of clinical observations and experimental results indicate that uterine fibroids are a hormone-dependent tumor. Estrogen is the main factor that promotes the growth of fibroids. Some scholars also believe that growth hormone (GH) is also related to the growth of fibroids. GH can cooperate with estrogen to promote mitosis and promote the growth of fibroids. It is speculated that human placental lactogen (HPL) can also cooperate with estrogen to promote mitosis. It is believed that the accelerated growth of uterine fibroids during pregnancy is related to the high hormone environment during pregnancy, and HPL may also play a role.

In addition, ovarian function and hormone metabolism are controlled and regulated by higher nerve centers, so the activity of nerve centers may also play an important role in the occurrence of fibroids. Uterine fibroids are more common in women of childbearing age, widows, and those with disharmonious sexual lives. Chronic pelvic congestion caused by long-term sexual dysfunction may also be one of the causes of uterine fibroids.

In short, the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids may be the result of the combined action of multiple factors.
