Detailed introduction of fibroids

There are many diseases happening around us in life, but we don’t know much about them. For example, fibroids. Many people ignore the harm they cause to the body because they know little about them. Some patients even delay treatment because they don’t know enough about fibroids. So let’s talk about the details of fibroids.

Fibroids are benign tumors derived from fibrous connective tissue. There are different types of fibroids due to their different components. Fibroids are widely distributed in the human body and form the gaps between organs, so fibroids can occur in any part of the body. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are the most common, and fibroids can also occur in the fascia, periosteum, nasopharynx and other mucosal tissues, as well as other organs such as breasts, ovaries, and kidneys. They vary in size and grow slowly.

Fibroids are more common in young people, solitary, mostly millimeters to several centimeters, painless. Often discovered accidentally, hard, with clear boundaries, movable, and slow growth. They 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.

According to the age and location of onset, the main types of tumors include juvenile fibromatosis, cervical fibromatosis, infantile fibromatosis, infantile myofibromatosis, and lipofibromatosis. The age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old, and it is also common in children and adolescents. Tumors can occur in large muscles anywhere in the body, with the rectus abdominis and the aponeurosis of the adjacent muscles of the abdominal wall being the most common, and are more common during pregnancy and late pregnancy. Those outside the abdominal wall are more common in men, and are more common in the scapula, thigh, and buttocks.

Fibroid is a benign tumor, so patients should not have too much mental pressure, just pay more attention to it, such as developing regular rest time and good eating habits, because a healthy lifestyle is an important guarantee to stay away from diseases. And the most important thing is to pay attention to nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, or supplement some foods rich in protein, which are magic weapons to resist any disease.
