Patient's question:
I am a 89-year-old woman, and gradually my body started feeling uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong, it seems like I lack energy. Please ask: How are uterine fibroids formed?Doctor's answer:
Modern medicine believes that the recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to estrogen, which is a significant factor in fibroid growth. The strength of estrogen recurrence determines the content of estrone receptor (EnR) in the target binding. Estrogen diffuses into the nucleus, binds specifically with EnR in the nucleus, triggers biological effects, and thus produces fibroids. The content of estrogen and progesterone receptors in fibroids is significantly lower than that in uterine muscle tissue. Experimental reports indicate that reducing the nuclear EnR content can significantly inhibit the growth of fibroids.
