The uterus is located in the center of the pelvis, the forearm is the bladder, the posterior wall is the rectum, the lower end is connected to the vagina, and there are ovaries and fallopian tubes on both sides.
Many people think that a woman with a womb is a perfect woman, but in fact, our body is inherently complete, and without any organ, our body will become incomplete.
The body structure of women and men is different, and the places where diseases occur will also be different, and for women, the breast, uterus, ovaries, and cervix are prone to problems.
Especially for women, the uterus plays a special significance for women, women from about twelve or thirteen years old, the first menstrual period comes, until about 50 years old women menopause, menstruation needs to accompany women for more than 30 years.
If the uterus can remain normal, our menstruation will be normal, otherwise there may be a series of symptoms as well. And as women age, many uterine diseases will also come quietly.
Uterine fibroids are one of them, let's find out together.
01
What are uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors for women, which generally occur in women aged 30~50, and the specific cause is not very clear.
But what we can be sure of is that uterine fibroids mainly occur during the reproductive years, are relatively rare during puberty, and are rare after menopause or uterine atrophy.
Therefore, we can infer from this that the appearance of uterine fibroids has a certain relationship with the changes of estrogen and progesterone, and uterine fibroids may appear like changes, such as cystic changes, etc., and some people will have sarcomatoid changes, that is, uterine fibroids become cancerous.
Therefore, if you know that uterine fibroids appear in your body, you should go to the hospital for re-examination on a regular basis and pay attention to the changes in uterine fibroids at any time.
02
What are the effects of uterine fibroids on the body?
If there are uterine fibroids, many people will not show symptoms physically, and there are some mild symptoms, which often do not attract people's attention and require us to pay special attention.
1. Cause menstrual disorders
If the size of uterine fibroids is relatively large, it may affect the regularity of menstruation, resulting in menstrual disorders or longer cycles, but some people usually have such a situation, often do not pay attention, and cannot detect the existence of uterine fibroids in time.
2. Back pain
Affected by uterine fibroids, some patients will have backache, which will have a great sense of pressure on the body, but if we are relatively tired from work, backache is also very common.
3. Difficulty in defecation
Uterine fibroids may grow in many locations, if they appear under the serosa, for the anterior wall of the uterus, there will be some pressure on the bladder, resulting in frequent urination and urgency, and if it is on the back wall, it will cause some pressure on the rectum, resulting in difficulty in defecation.
4. Inflammation
If fibroids exist between the muscular walls or mucous membranes, in addition to causing large changes in menstruation, infections and inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease may occur.
03
What are the effects of soy products on the uterus?
Soy products contain easy-to-digest high-quality protein, which can play a good role in the body, but soy products also contain phytoestrogens soy isoflavones, which makes many people have a skeptical attitude towards soy products.
Phytoestrogens are compounds that naturally occur in plants and are found in many foods, and it has been found that phytoestrogens have a two-way regulatory effect on women's hormone levels.
Because its molecular structure is very similar to estrogen, it can bind to estrogen receptors and produce similar effects.
If the estrogen in the body is insufficient, it can play a role in supplementing estrogen, and if the estrogen level in the body is too high, it can prevent the combination of estrogen receptors and estrogen, producing a certain inhibitory effect and reducing the level of estrogen.
Therefore, we say that soy products are the bane of uterine fibroids, and we are really wronging soy products, and this two-way regulatory effect of soy products is conducive to the balance of estrogen levels in our body, and is not the culprit that causes the emergence of uterine fibroids.
And for postmenopausal women, if you can consume some soy products, you can reduce the appearance of menopausal syndrome and alleviate menopausal symptoms in women. However, it is not necessary to eat too much, as it may cause indigestion of protein and abdominal pain.
04
The "bane" of uterine fibroids has been found out, stop wronging soy products, and stay away from these four things
These types of foods, which will have a great impact on the uterus, are the most likely to affect the appearance of uterine fibroids.
1. Spicy and stimulating food
Nowadays, in our lives, many women are spicy and unhappy, and they like some spicy and stimulating foods very much, but these spicy and stimulating foods are likely to cause pelvic congestion and cause inflammation in the body.
If it is more severe, it may also cause excessive uterine contractions, which will have a great impact on women's menstruation, and if you want to avoid inflammation, you should eat less spicy and stimulating food.
2. High-fat foods
If the food we eat contains too much fat, it will not only increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also cause fat accumulation in the body, resulting in obesity in the body.
It also has a promoting effect on hormones in the body, and if this kind of food is consumed regularly, it will lead to the continuous growth of estrogen, which will promote the formation of uterine fibroids to a certain extent.
3. Health food for great supplementation
For women who love beauty, they usually pay great attention to health preservation and like to eat some nourishing and nourishing yin foods, such as ejiao, longan, etc., although these foods have certain benefits for the body.
However, if it is eaten regularly, it can play a role in invigorating blood and is not conducive to controlling the level of estrogen in the body, so it should be eaten in small amounts and not too much.
4. Foods containing hormones
Now there are more and more varieties of various foods, and people are trying more and more, such as crab roe, which is the favorite of many people, crab roe is rich in nutrients, rich in trace elements and high-quality protein, some people call crab roe "gold in the sea".
It has a certain tonic effect on the body, but the fat and cholesterol content in crab roe are very high, which will affect the estrogen level in the body and have a certain impact on the body.
If uterine fibroids appear in the body, there is no impact on our body, we need to do a good job of timely re-examination to prevent lesions, if the uterine fibroids are too large and have caused us physical effects, it is generally necessary to treat them through surgery.
