The cystic mass on the left side of the uterus is actually a type of uterine fibroids. Not all uterine fibroids are malignant. Like other tumors, they can be either benign or malignant. The most common ones are benign uterine fibroids, which can usually be removed surgically without causing any major impact as long as proper postoperative care is provided. It is also possible that it is just a cyst. In this case, no surgery is required and it can be cured by medication for a period of time. Now let us learn some knowledge about uterine fibroids. 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 It may also be one of the causes of uterine fibroids. The uterus is different from other body organs. If the tumor is serious and has reached a level that cannot be treated, you can choose to remove the uterus to save your life, and there will be no possibility of a second recurrence. After a hysterectomy, the impact on women is also relatively large. Because the uterus and ovaries are interconnected, without the uterus, the function of the ovaries will weaken, causing women to have irregular menstruation, endocrine disorders, and accelerated aging. |
