　　Uterine fibroids usually occur between the ages of 40 and 50. In addition to factors such as genes, estrogen also plays a disgraceful role here. During pregnancy, the estrogen level in a woman's body is 25 to 40 times higher than during non-pregnancy. In addition to maintaining the physiological state required for pregnancy, it also lays the foundation for the growth of fibroids. Estrogen can significantly promote the growth and enlargement of uterine fibroids, which is why uterine fibroids are most common in women of childbearing age. menopause Afterwards, most fibroids stop growing or even shrink.

In fact, many fibroids will not show symptoms throughout their lives and can coexist peacefully with the body. As long as women have regular check-ups (every 3-6 months or every six months to one year), if they find that the uterine fibroids are enlarging or have obvious symptoms, it is not too late to consider further treatment. There is no need to go through a knife in vain.
