Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been discovered for 10 years, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around have all sorts of opinions. What causes uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are caused by multiple factors. The following points are closely related to uterine fibroids: sexual activity after early pregnancy. During the early stages of pregnancy and the two months before delivery, sexual activity should be strictly avoided, otherwise it may lead to miscarriage or premature birth, and also cause harm to the uterus. Disordered sexual life. If a woman engages in promiscuous sexual behavior or starts having sex at a young age, it will harm her physical and mental health, making her more prone to conditions such as cervical erosion and uterine fibroids. Unhygienic sexual life. Lack of hygiene during sexual activity allows pathogens to enter the uterine cavity through the vagina, leading to endometrial infection. Additionally, the stimulation of cervical mucus by the male foreskin is one of the factors that can cause uterine fibroids. Therefore, not only expectant mothers but also expectant fathers should pay attention to hygiene.
