What is uterine fibroids and how to treat it?

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is still unclear. It is mainly related to high estrogen levels, age factors, genetic factors, etc., and requires active treatment.

1. Estrogen level: Uterine fibroids are related to estrogen changes in most women. Estrogen is a hormone that promotes endometrial hyperplasia. If the estrogen and androgen levels in the body increase, it may induce uterine fibroids. It is necessary to use estrogen-regulating drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets, mifepristone tablets, etc.

2. Age factor: Uterine fibroids often occur in women over 40 years old, and there is generally no better way to control them. Fibroids usually do not require treatment when they are small, and regular follow-up observations are required.

3. Genetic factors: It has a certain family hereditary nature. If someone in the family has suffered from this disease, the probability of the offspring suffering from the disease is higher. If the fibroids are large, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible to remove the diseased tissue.

In addition to the above factors, it is also considered to be related to obesity, uterine infection, endocrine disorders, etc., and medical treatment is needed in time to avoid worsening of symptoms.
