How are uterine fibroids formed?

Patient's question:

I am a 87-year-old woman who has been feeling quite tired lately. I have a sense that something is not healthy with my body. Could it be this disease? Please ask: How are uterine fibroids formed?

Doctor's answer:

The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to endocrine factors, as well as individual constitution. The causes of uterine fibroids include the following factors:
1. Environmental and lifestyle factors, such as industrial pollution in food.
2. Poor sleep and living habits, which can cause changes in women's menstrual cycles, such as an earlier menarche and a delayed menopause. Sexual dysfunction also affects uterine health.
3. Long-term depression in women can also lead to the development of uterine fibroids. Their own depressive mood can easily force the secretion of estrogen to increase continuously, and its effect to strengthen.
4. Inter-generational genetic factors.
5. Cold exposure and the use of substandard sanitary napkins.
