Many people think that unmarried women are less likely to suffer from gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, and married women are more likely to have such diseases. However, experts believe that uterine fibroids are associated with hormone secretion in the body and have nothing to do with marriage. Women’s marriage and childbirth at the right age is not only conducive to prenatal and postnatal care, but also can reduce the incidence of gynecological diseases.
A 30-year-old girl developed a 5-centimeter uterine fibroids
A 30-year-old unmarried female young Zhang found uterine fibroids during a physical examination three years ago, which was about the size of a pigeon egg at the time , The doctor gave three suggestions: regular review, life rules, early marriage and childbirth. However, Xiao Zhang believes that he will not get gynecological diseases without sex, and due to his busy work, Xiao Zhang did not take any of these three doctor’s orders to heart.
At the beginning of this year, Xiao Zhang was urged by her parents to come down to the hospital for a re-examination. The ultrasound showed that the diameter of uterine fibroids was more than 5 cm, which was about the size of an egg. The doctor combined Xiao Zhang’s condition and aesthetic needs to formulate a suitable operation for her. Protocol: Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic myomectomy. On the day after the operation, Xiao Zhang was able to get out of bed and move on his own. Except for the slight swelling and discomfort, there was basically no pain. He was discharged from the hospital on the third day after the operation.
Before leaving the hospital, the doctor instructed Xiao Zhang to live a regular life, eat a reasonable diet, and have regular check-ups. She could not become pregnant for at least one year after the operation. Age, marriage and childbirth are good for health.
Suffering from uterine fibroids is related to hormone secretion in the body
When the doctor told Xiao Zhang that the uterine fibroids were too big to require surgery, the whole family raised a question – an unmarried girl How can uterine fibroids grow? Many citizens also believe that unmarried women are less likely to suffer from gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, and married women are more likely to have such diseases.
According to the gynecological experts of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, under normal circumstances, the ovaries ovulate every month after puberty and produce estrogen and progesterone, which act on different target organs and play different roles. It acts on the uterus to make menstrual cramps, and acts on the mammary gland to make it develop. When these hormones are too much, or continue to act on the target organs, a series of adverse consequences will occur, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis or endometrial lesions. That is to say, the generation of uterine fibroids is not directly related to whether there is sex, but is related to hormone secretion.
Age-appropriate marriage and childbearing can reduce the risk of gynecological diseases
“It is recommended that female friends get married at an appropriate age, which is not only conducive to prenatal and postnatal care, but also helps reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases!” According to the expert, Hormone secretion is also related to pregnancy and childbirth. Simply put, after pregnancy, the secretion of progesterone (progesterone) in a woman’s body increases greatly, breaking the long-term high estrogen level. Therefore, it can help women reduce the risk of uterine fibroids and endometrial cancer (which is related to estrogen). level is too high for a long time). In addition, during the birth process, with the delivery of the placenta, the uterus is “cleaned”, which can also play a role in preventing cancer.
In addition to getting married and having children at an appropriate age, to prevent uterine fibroids, try to avoid factors such as staying up late, hormones, and negative emotions. Staying up late for a long time can cause abnormal endocrine and metabolic disorders in women, leading to menstrual disorders, acne, and even uterine fibroids.
For beauty and beauty, many women take health products or drugs, but there is a certain risk, which may lead to excessive estrogen in the body and increase the incidence of uterine fibroids. In addition, if you are in a negative mood for a long time, it will also cause endocrine disorders, excessive secretion of estrogen, and lead to the occurrence of uterine fibroids.
