Why do women get uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old, female. I had a physical examination at my workplace recently, and it was found that I have uterine fibroids. I feel quite strange about it, as I haven't felt any discomfort. Could you please explain why I would get uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids may be caused by emotional factors that force the excretion of estrogen and progesterone to be uncoordinated, or they may be caused by long-term sexual dysfunction. They are also related to long-term consumption of high-hormone foods, supplements, and obesity. Currently, the treatment of uterine fibroids mainly involves medication, physical therapy, and surgical methods. In daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery speed.
