Are the symptoms of uterine fibroids not obvious? The best way to prevent uterine fibroids is to do more physical examinations

In many physical examinations, more than half of women suffer from gynecological diseases to varying degrees, of which uterine fibroids account for about 25% of the physical examination patients, which should be given enough attention by female friends. At the same time, the age of uterine fibroids is getting younger and younger, which seriously threatens the uterine health of female friends. Experts call for:

Symptoms of uterine fibroids are not obvious and are easily ignored

According to Liu Shuqin, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Henan Armed Police Corps Hospital, uterine fibroids are a common disease among female friends. In recent years, the disease has become more and more common among middle-aged women in their thirties and forties, especially those who are infertile, have sexual dysfunction and are depressed. Some women always think that they are not in pain or itchy and are in good health. In fact, the common symptoms of uterine fibroids are not obvious in the early stages, so they are easily overlooked. When patients find lumps or protrusions in the lower abdomen, or symptoms such as irregular menstruation and lower abdominal pain, they do not know that they have uterine fibroids until they go to the hospital for examination. At this time, the fibroids have begun to form a "scale" and treatment is more difficult. Some patients were discovered during unit physical examinations or other diseases. Early detection and treatment of uterine fibroids have become the most effective means of preventing and treating uterine fibroids.

Experts explain that most patients with uterine fibroids do not have any symptoms in the early stages, and do not pay attention to irregular menstruation, anemia, lower abdominal swelling and other discomforts. As the disease progresses, patients experience symptoms such as frequent urination, dysuria, and abdominal pain. Experts remind female friends to pay close attention to their health conditions, pay enough attention if there is discomfort, seek medical attention in time, and do not miss the best treatment opportunity.

Pursuit of the culprit: endocrine disorders are the main culprit

According to experts from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Henan Armed Police Corps Hospital, the specific cause of uterine fibroids is still unclear, but studies have shown that excessive hormone secretion is the most common cause of uterine fibroids.

Middle-aged women face the dual mental pressure of work and family, and are prone to depression. With the arrival of menopause, women begin to experience the "estrogen control period". During this period, women's own depression can easily increase estrogen secretion and enhance its effect, which is an important cause of uterine fibroids. On the other hand, normal sexual stimulation between couples can promote the normal progress of neuroendocrine, so that the body's hormone secretion is normal and good. Long-term sexual disorders can easily cause hormone secretion disorders, leading to chronic pelvic congestion, and also easily induce uterine fibroids. In addition, excessive use of medical care products or nutrients with high estrogen content by female friends is also an important factor in inducing uterine fibroids.

Prevent fibroids by having regular gynecological examinations every year

Liu Shuqin, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Armed Police Henan Brigade Hospital, said that uterine fibroids are a common disease among women, and the best way to prevent them is to have regular physical examinations; once women find symptoms such as shortened menstrual cycles, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, irregular bleeding, increased leucorrhea, and lower abdominal pain, they may have uterine fibroids and must be checked in time. Early examination, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the key links in the treatment of uterine fibroids.
