Is fibroid harmful to the body?

With the continuous development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to their own health. However, many times, things don't go as planned, and diseases sometimes take advantage of this loophole. Fibroids bring great difficulties to people's lives and work. So, are fibroids harmful to the body? Let's find out together!

First of all, we need to understand what is fibroid?

Fibromas are composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. They are common in adults aged 40-50 years old. The tumor grows slowly. When the tumor develops to a certain extent, it generally stops growing. It is a benign tumor composed of well-differentiated subcutaneous connective tissue. It rarely becomes malignant. The treatment is mainly surgical resection. It is more common in the subcutaneous and grows slowly. It is generally small, with clear edges, smooth surface, hard texture, and can be pushed. If mixed with other components, it becomes fibromyoma, fibroadenoma, fibrolipoma, etc. According to the age and location of onset, it mainly includes juvenile fibromatosis, cervical fibromatosis, infantile fibromatosis, infantile myofibromatosis, lipofibromatosis, etc. The age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old, and it is also not uncommon in children and adolescents. Tumors can occur in large muscles in any part of the body, with the rectus abdominis of the abdominal wall and the aponeurosis of the adjacent muscles being the most common, and they are more common during pregnancy and late pregnancy. Those outside the abdominal wall are more common in men, and they are more common in the scapula, thigh and buttocks.

It is a relatively common benign tumor of well-differentiated fibrous connective tissue. It is more common in young people, solitary, mostly millimeters to several centimeters, and painless. It is often discovered accidentally, hard, with clear boundaries, movable, and slow growth. It can occur in subcutaneous tissues of all parts of the body. For example, tumors that grow in the breasts of young women and are mainly glandular are called fibroadenomas, and tumors that grow in muscles with muscle tissue are called fibromyomas. When multiple tumors occur, they are called tumor-like lesions, which are called fibromatosis.

For example, congenital systemic fibromatosis is "benign" in appearance, but new lesions in important organs can also lead to death. If they grow in the compressed area of ​​the sacrum, they will grow rapidly, erode, ulcerate, bleed and become malignant. Desmoid fibroma (ligament-like tumor) that grows in the abdominal wall rectus abdominis, neck, trunk and limbs is more common in women. If radical resection is not performed, it is very likely to recur, but it does not metastasize, so it is called a borderline tumor.

Fibroids are benign tumors, but they may also become malignant. They are usually treated with surgical resection. Most fibroids are curable. Patients should relieve their worries, maintain an optimistic and stable mood, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid overwork, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid eating poultry fed with hormones and health products containing hormones, and eat less high-fat foods and sweets.
