What is intramural uterine fibroids?

Generally speaking, uterine fibroids are divided into different types according to their growth location, and patients may suffer from intramural fibroids when they become ill. However, some patients may not have discovered that they have any inducing factors at all. They feel that everything is grown and feel very strange about being ill. Now the editor will analyze the possible causes of the disease in detail. Come and read the article below to find out.

1. General factors: Age: Uterine fibroids mostly occur in women of childbearing age, more common in women aged 30-50. It is rare for adolescent women to have uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids atrophy after menopause. Obesity: Obesity can cause metabolic disorders, leading to lack of cyclical regulation of progesterone, causing abnormal menstrual cycles and increasing the risk of uterine fibroids. History of pregnancy and miscarriage: Women with no history of pregnancy and childbirth are more likely to develop uterine fibroids than women with a history of pregnancy and childbirth, mainly because menstruation can increase the amount of progesterone in women's bodies.

2. Hormone level: Low estrogen: Biochemical tests have confirmed that the estrone conversion of estradiol in fibroids is significantly lower than that in normal muscle tissue, and the concentration of estrogen receptors in fibroids is significantly higher than that in surrounding muscle tissue. Therefore, it is believed that the high sensitivity of local fibroid tissue to estrogen is one of the important factors in the occurrence of fibroids. Low progesterone. Progesterone can promote mitosis of fibroids and stimulate their growth. If a woman has low levels of progesterone in her body, it is easy to induce uterine fibroids.

3. Genetic factors: Cytogenetics show that 25%-50% of uterine fibroids have cytogenetic abnormalities, such as chromosome fragment position exchange, chromosome long arm rearrangement or partial deletion, etc. Uterine fibroids are formed by the proliferation of monoclonal smooth muscle cells, while multiple uterine fibroids are formed by different clones of cells.

These are basically the causes of intramural uterine fibroids. In fact, this type of disease is usually caused by the factors mentioned above. It is very simple to find the cause, so patients must undergo careful examination before treatment. At the same time, the editor recommends that patients undergo surgery to remove the lesions as soon as possible to avoid worsening and spread.
