How harmful are uterine fibroids?

People nowadays are very healthy, and everyone pays attention to health. In this world where everyone worships health, many women's bodies are often threatened by various diseases. The first is that women suffer from uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, but whether they are benign or malignant, they mean harm to the body. First of all, frequent bleeding will cause anemia, weak heart function, pale complexion, and general weakness. In addition, uterine fibroids will affect women's reproductive function and cause uterine fibroid torsion, causing enteritis, adnexal and pelvic inflammation. Therefore, the harm caused by uterine fibroids is very large. If a woman finds that she has uterine fibroids, she must undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible.

1. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, but a few of them may turn into malignant tumors. This is more common in older women with large and fast-growing fibroids. Patients with rapidly growing fibroids after menopause or those with recurrent fibroids after menopause should be more vigilant.

2. Uterine fibroids can cause secondary anemia. Long-term excessive menstruation can lead to secondary anemia and even anemic heart disease. In severe cases, patients will experience symptoms such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations.

3. Uterine fibroids can also cause female infertility. This is because the fibroids in the uterine horn will compress the entrance of the fallopian tube, causing the uterus to deform and hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg. Women should pay more attention to this.

4. Uterine fibroids may cause adhesion or inflammation. After the pedicle of subserosal uterine fibroids is twisted, intestinal adhesion will occur, and then the tumor will be infected by intestinal bacteria. The inflamed fibroids will adhere to the uterine appendages and cause purulent inflammation. On the other hand, fibroids can also cause pathogens to invade other uterine organs due to bleeding, causing gynecological inflammations such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

The harm of uterine fibroids to female patients has been introduced in detail above. If you find that you have uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see whether it is benign or malignant, so as to receive targeted treatment. Avoid serious consequences.

1. Early menopause in women who have not given birth is one of the causes of uterine fibroids. A woman has a limited number of primordial follicles in her lifetime, and ovulation occurs only once every 30 years. During pregnancy and lactation, due to the action of hormones, the ovaries stop ovulating, and women with a history of childbearing will enter menopause later. However, childless women cannot get timely and effective protection from progesterone and are prone to hormone-dependent diseases, uterine fibroids being one of them.

2. The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to lifestyle disorders. According to traditional Chinese medicine, uterine fibroids fall into the category of "syndrome". It can be seen that normal sexual stimulation between couples can promote the normal function of neuroendocrine and enable the body to secrete hormones normally and well. However, long-term sexual dysfunction can easily cause hormone secretion disorders, leading to chronic pelvic congestion and inducing uterine fibroids.

3. Generally speaking, depressed women are more likely to suffer from uterine fibroids. Middle-aged women face the dual mental pressures of work and family and are prone to depression. With the arrival of menopause, women's own depression during this period can easily lead to increased estrogen secretion and enhanced effects, which can sometimes last for several months or even years. This is also the cause of uterine fibroids.

Some women do not pay enough attention to the problem of uterine fibroids, and some often miss the best time for treatment. Any disease, if allowed to develop, may cause great harm to people in the end. Therefore, it is best to receive timely treatment when it is discovered.
