What is the cause of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I've been having severe pain in my uterus recently. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have uterine fibroids. What causes uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, and the specific cause is unclear. If it is a simple leiomyoma, and considering your relatively young age and small size of the fibroid, it is recommended to have irregular follow-up ultrasound examinations. Generally, fibroids grow slowly, and medication can also be used to inhibit their growth. You can take Guizhi Fuling pills, which have the effect of invigorating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and resolving masses. In daily diet, it is advisable to consume less soy products. If the fibroid is large, surgical treatment can be considered.
