What is the cause of uterine mucosal fibroids?

There are many endometriums in the uterus. Some of the distribution of these endometriums is related to nerves, and some are also ordinary mucosa. The local uterine mucosa will not get sick, but due to lack of hygiene, bacterial infection in the uterine cavity, or complications, uterine mucosal fibroids may occur. Uterine mucosal fibroids can occur in anyone, but they mainly occur in women aged 20-30 and in the reproductive stage. Malignant tumors occur in middle-aged and elderly people, but a small number of patients are young people. There are many factors that cause uterine mucosal fibroids, including premature childbirth, uterine infection caused by childbirth, and frequent childbirth. These are all factors that lead to uterine mucosal fibroids. In normal times, we should pay attention to sexual hygiene, personal endocrine problems, and cooperate with medication or surgery for treatment.

Causes

1. Age: Benign tumors mostly occur in women of childbearing age, malignant tumors mostly occur in elderly women, and a small number of special types of tumors are more common in adolescent and young women.

2. Fertility: It is related to fertility factors such as premature delivery, frequent births, and multiple births. In addition, the level of estrogen increases during pregnancy, and fibroids tend to grow rapidly.

3. Sexual hygiene: Unclean sexual life causes reproductive organ infections, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc.

4. Endocrine: Many women take estrogen-containing drugs, supplements and some beauty and skin care products without the guidance of a doctor, deliberately or unknowingly increasing the estrogen level in the body.

5. Unhealthy lifestyle: smoking, especially heavy smoking, drinking and long-term intake of high-fat foods.

How to self-check

The first is to observe the blood: increased menstruation, postmenopausal bleeding or contact bleeding, etc., are often caused by tumors in the cervix or uterine body. Therefore, the cause of bleeding other than normal menstruation must be investigated in order to prepare for symptomatic diagnosis and treatment.

The second is to observe the vaginal discharge: normal vaginal discharge is a small amount of slightly sticky white secretion, which will change slightly with the menstrual cycle, but purulent, bloody, or watery vaginal discharge are all abnormal.

The third is to feel the lump by yourself: In the early morning, lie flat on the bed on an empty stomach, bend your knees slightly, relax your abdomen, and press the lower abdomen with both hands, from light to heavy, and the swelling can be found.

Fourth, you feel pain: any pain in your lower abdomen, waist, back, or sacrum should be paid attention to. Because sometimes, pain is the self-exposure of the tumor. For example, if the tumor pedicle twists, ruptures or degenerates, it will cause abdominal pain.
