Hello! I work as a doctor for 21 years. My name is George O. Sapego. This article will tell something useful for uterine cancer and explain how you take for a ride by slipping false information on this topic.
Myoma - a benign tumor of the uterus. It grows from the muscle layer of the uterus cells. From there it uterine bleeding, abdominal pain and infertility.
The uterus may be several fibroids. Uterus fibroids is measured in weeks as the pregnant uterus. Quite often it happens that a woman's uterus with fibroids corresponds to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Of this size will be and bleeding, and pain, and compression of something in the stomach.
Fibroids - this is the most frequent tumor in the abdomen in women. Sick usually women of reproductive age. In girls to start monthly fibroids does not happen, and in women after menopause fibroids shrink.
Most often fibroids manifests itself in women aged 30 - 40 years.
Pregnancy normally protect a woman from developing fibroids, and repeated pregnancy protect even more.
If the girl's menses started before 10 years, then it is more likely it will be then fibroids. This is due to estrogen. They stimulate the growth of tumors. The earlier start to produce estrogen, the more likely that fibroids grow.
Such girls typically low growth, because against the background of high levels of estrogen are closed areas of growth in the bones.
If a woman has started taking combined hormonal contraceptives are not in 13 years, and later, they did the risk of fibroids is not affected.
Long-acting hormonal contraceptives based on progestogens well protected from fibroids. Progestins, in principle, to inhibit the growth of tumors.
If the environment has chemicals like phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls, bisphenol A, it may also lead to the development of fibroids. Remember the story of the fire-resistant pajamas? At the bottom there is a link to the article. There were also chemicals.
It seems that obesity also leads to the development of fibroids. It is not so obvious, as previously thought, but it leads.
Diet
Red meat and processed meat increases the risk, and green fruits and vegetables - is reduced.
Vitamin D protects against the development of fibroids.
Americans even believe that they have dark-skinned women are more likely to suffer from fibroids because it produces less vitamin D in dark skin
Alcohol, especially beer, increases the risk of fibroids.
Smoking
Previously it was thought that smoking reduces the risk of fibroids. This is linked to the fact that nicotine inhibits aromatase. Aromatase is able to make estrogen. With the activation of aromatase linked, for example, the occurrence of hernia in elderly men. So once we thought that by inhibiting aromatase nicotine, women reduce the risk of fibroids. But then, it was not confirmed. So they had no excuses for smoking.
Heredity
It is quickly noticed. Fibroids found in women in the same family.
High blood pressure is also somehow increases the risk of fibroids.
infection
It was thought that the infection in the uterus, chlamydia and cervical dysplasia increase the risk. In the sense that women are to blame. But then it's not confirmed, and even on the contrary - it turned fibroids somehow gets bad infection.
Be sure to consult with your gynecologist on all the issues that bother you.
Lies
Now the traditional lie. The entire paragraph below - this is not true:
Myoma is by interventions in the uterus such as cesarean section and curettage, by late puberty, childbirth after 40 years. Fibroids can be transformed into cancer.
The entire paragraph above - a harmful lie. You can not have fibroids in the uterus of operations.
Fibroids is not of late, and from early puberty, because estrogens have to act.
Pregnancy and even later protect against fibroids.
Cancer of the uterine fibroids never grows. This is the most common and stupid horror story.
