What are the causes of fibroids?

In today's society, the name of fibroids often makes people feel fear and anxiety, because the consequences of suffering from this disease are very serious. What kind of disease is fibroids? Regarding this issue, let us take a good look at the causes of fibroids.

1. 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 found 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.

Second, such as congenital systemic fibromatosis, which is "benign" in appearance, new lesions appearing in important organs can also lead to death. If they grow in the compressed part of the sacrum, they will grow rapidly, erode, ulcerate, bleed and become malignant. Desmoid fibroma (ligament-like tumor) growing in the rectus abdominis of the abdominal wall, neck, trunk and limbs is more common in women. If it is not radically removed, it is very likely to recur, but it does not metastasize, so it is called a borderline tumor.

Unhealthy lifestyles such as radiation, medical treatment, and poor diet may lead to the occurrence of fibroids. For example, long-term drinking or increased total fat intake in women, especially postmenopausal obese women, can increase the incidence of fibroids.

The influence of mental factors such as emotions, mental stress, emotional excitement and other negative mental factors can easily lead to breast hyperplasia. Staying up late and lack of sleep can also cause breast fibroids, and these negative factors will aggravate existing breast fibroid symptoms.

It is related to the stimulation of estrogen. Since the breast tissue of some people is more sensitive to estrogen, the epithelial tissue and fibrous tissue of the breast will undergo varying degrees of hyperplasia under the stimulation of estrogen.

Endocrine disorders, decreased progesterone secretion, and relatively increased estrogen are important causes of breast hyperplasia, such as ovarian underdevelopment, irregular menstruation, thyroid disease, and liver dysfunction.

Fibroids are formed by the proliferation of fibroblasts. The disease originates from any layer of subcutaneous and submucosal connective tissue. According to the amount of fiber components contained, they are divided into hard and soft types. Generally, they grow slowly. The principle of treatment is to remove them along the root of the tumor. If the tumor is small and asymptomatic, no treatment is required.

The above is the analysis of the causes of fibroids that I brought to you. I hope it can be helpful to you.
