What is the cause of uterine tumors?

Most doctors will diagnose uterine tumors as uterine fibroids. Many women will find that their sexual life is regular and they have not had any abortions or other surgeries, but they still find out that they have uterine tumors. There will be many questions about the disease, and it will also have psychological shadows for a long time, so the cause of uterine tumors is what everyone wants to know. So what is the cause of uterine tumors? There are many reasons, and the detailed reasons are mainly:

Uterine myoma is the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organ, also known as uterine leiomyoma. It is common in women aged 30 to 50 and rare in women under 20 years old. The vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign. However, since uterine fibroids tend to occur multiple times, in women of childbearing age, fibroids may gradually increase in size and number as they age, and myoma removal surgery may also result in recurrence. The rate of malignant transformation (i.e. sarcoma transformation) of uterine fibroids is very low, approximately 0.4-0.8%. But we still need to be vigilant about the risk of malignant transformation. Uterine fibroids can usually be divided into subserosal fibroids, intramural fibroids, submucosal fibroids or cervical fibroids, broad ligament fibroids, etc. Different types of uterine fibroids may show clinical manifestations such as menorrhagia, lower abdominal mass, or difficulty urinating or defecation. About 20% of women over 35 years old suffer from uterine fibroids, but because the tumor develops slowly and has no clinical symptoms, many people are not discovered throughout their lives and do not need treatment.

1. Increased estrogen secretion

With the onset of menopause, middle-aged women begin to enter the "estrogen control period". During this period, women are more likely to experience depression due to the dual pressures of family and work, which leads to increased estrogen secretion. In addition, long-term use of contraceptives containing high estrogen, hormonal drugs such as weight loss and whitening, and foods contaminated with high hormones. These are all important causes of uterine fibroids. This is also an important cause of uterine fibroids.

2. Sexual dysfunction

Long-term sexual dysfunction can easily lead to hormonal disorders, causing chronic pelvic congestion and inducing uterine fibroids.

3. Early menopause in women without children

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 do not resume until the 4th to 6th month of lactation. As a result, the ovaries delay ovulation by a certain number of times, 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.

What is the cause of uterine tumors? Through the explanation in the article, we have already grasped the causes of the disease. Women should also pay attention to the control of hormones and food in life, and sexual life should not be too early. The influence of multiple factors will cause disease. Therefore, women should have regular physical examinations. Diseases are usually checked through B-ultrasound examinations, which can reveal the size and location of the tumor, and doctors can also develop effective treatments based on the condition.
