Uterine fibroid disease is particularly common in our daily life, and the causes are also multifaceted. Among them, it is related to sexual dysfunction. We should pay attention to the details of daily life and prevent it reasonably from multiple aspects.
Etiology of uterine fibroids
1. Psychological factors: The uterus is located on the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian uterine gonadal axis and is very sensitive to emotional changes in the human body. Depression can lead to inconsistent estrogen secretion and uterine fibroids. In modern society, women play an increasingly important role, and the dual pressures of work and family are increasing. If we cannot maintain an optimistic and peaceful mood, excessive anxiety and depression can easily cause endocrine disorders, increased estrogen secretion, enhanced effect, and prolonged duration, which have a significant negative impact on women's health.
2. High estrogen diet: The intake of exogenous estrogens is one of the important reasons for inducing uterine fibroids, with a high hormone diet being the first conflict. At present, the market is filled with various foods, drugs, and health products with high hormone content, and many women do not have a clear understanding and judgment of such foods. If consumed in large quantities, it will inevitably break the originally coordinated estrogen levels in the body and become an important cause of uterine fibroids.
3. Long term sexual dysfunction: Long term sexual dysfunction can easily cause hormonal secretion disorders, leading to chronic pelvic congestion and inducing uterine fibroids. If a woman cannot achieve orgasm during long-term sexual activity, her uterus will expand, increase its volume by 2-3 times, and it is difficult to restore its original state, providing "soil" for the growth of uterine fibroids.
4. Obesity: In recent years, obesity has a correct relationship with the incidence rate of uterine fibroids. Every 10 kg of weight gain for women increases the risk of uterine fibroids by 21%, or every 1 unit of body mass index increases the risk of uterine fibroids by 6%.
5. Genetic reasons: According to the latest research data, about 20% of patients with uterine fibroids have individual chromosomes that are different from those of the general population, so some patients with uterine fibroids cannot rule out genetic reasons.
6. Childlessness: The reproductive process is also a natural immune process for women against gynecological diseases. From pregnancy to the first wave of lactation, the expectant mother will not have menstruation for at least a year, the levels of ovarian related hormones will continue to be low, and the uterus will not get sick due to endocrine disorders. However, women who have not given birth during this rest period cannot experience it, and these women are prone to hormone dependent diseases, including uterine fibroids.
