What are the causes of uterine fibroids?

Although uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, many women still don't know much about the causes of uterine fibroids . Let's ask experts to tell you about the causes of uterine fibroids.

The main cause of uterine fibroids is the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, in which a small amount of connective tissue fibers exist only as a supporting tissue. Therefore, it cannot be called uterine fibroids, myofibroma or fibroma based on the amount of connective tissue fibers. Its exact name should be uterine leiomyoma, commonly known as uterine fibroids.

From the perspective of tissue development, uterine fibroid cells originate from smooth muscle cells of the uterine muscle and vascular wall, such as immature myoblasts, but the latter has not yet been clearly defined in histology. The cause of uterine fibroids may be related to the differentiation process from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to smooth muscle cells. Multiple uterine fibroids may be due to the multifocal lurking of the origin cells in the myometrium. After entering sexual maturity, the undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and mature smooth muscle cells remaining in the myometrium undergo their own continuous proliferation, differentiation and hypertrophy under the action of the estrogen and progesterone cycles, which are repeated over a long period of time and eventually lead to uterine fibroids.

The above is an introduction to the causes of uterine fibroids. In daily life, female friends should learn more about the causes of uterine fibroids in order to prevent the occurrence of uterine fibroids, maintain healthy living habits and an optimistic attitude, and seek medical attention in time if any suspected symptoms occur.
