Fibroids of the uterus - causes and prevention

The uterus is a great, hollow body whose walls consist of smooth muscle, and the cavity lined with mucous membranes - the endometrium. The magnitude of the uterus varies greatly, it is the size of a fist with no women giving birth or a watermelon, the last third of pregnancy.
Any woman who experienced pain during menstruation, childbirth, deep orgasm that involve the uterus, will assess the strength of the uterine muscle. The uterus has not only a great muscular power, it seems, it has the power to transform women's lives in happiness or torment.
Each month, for decades the uterus, in response to a hormonal signal that forms a glandular, mucous membranes saturated with blood, and then, if the signal on the occurrence of pregnancy did not, rejects it during menstruation. If pregnancy occurs, the uterus gradually increases and becomes an ideal incubator for the fetus at all nine months of pregnancy.
The challenge to stimulate growth monthly uterine mucosa lies on estrogen. Estrogen stimulates growth of cells. However, the same ability of estrogen to stimulate cell growth and bears the risk. Excess estrogen can lead to cancer. As we age, our cells become more sensitive to harmful influences and risk turn cancerous. This primarily refers to the tissues of the uterus, which by their nature are capable of very intensive growth. And that their ability can play a cruel joke with the woman in violation of the hormonal balance.
Hormonal balance - this is very tricky. Throughout life he is constantly changing. If the organism requires intensive growth, for example, in infancy or childhood, some are more hormones, and others less. But together they make up the balance, ensuring healthy growth of the organism. If the ratio of hormones to be an adult, then it have big health problems: may appear benign or defective tumors, being overweight may begin to deform the internal organs of individual rights and not even a proportional increase in the extremities. Thus, when it comes to hormonal balance, you understand - it is the ratio of hormones in the body, which ensures its smooth functioning at any given time. For women, understanding this is especially important, since it is constantly changing hormonal balance, providing a menstrual cycle and childbirth.
There are many ways to destroy the balance of hormones in the body. Here are some of the most common:
Malnutrition.
Lack of vitamins.
Stress.
Alcohol and drugs, including anesthesia.
Improper use of drugs.
Various diseases: colds, flu, stomach ulcer, etc.
Physical fatigue, sleep deprivation, lack of rest.
Bad ecology, etc.
Even ordinary women's sanitary pads and tampons can cause serious infections of gynecological diseases, and as a result, cause a hormonal imbalance.
If the hormonal balance in a woman's body is violated, the uterus is one of the first supplies of this signal. The two most typical manifestations predmenopauzy of the uterus are increased uterine and fibroids. Women suffering from premenstrual syndrome often experience extreme pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea), which are often caused by the fact that the mucous membrane of the uterus (endometrium) grows its muscle in the body wall of the uterus. When in the menstrual endometrium sloughs, blood enters the muscle membrane, causing severe pain. Traditional medicine encourages treat such pain is not steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, etc., but leaves out that the basis of this phenomenon is the hormonal imbalance.
Predominance of estrogen induces the uterus to grow, and without the monthly balancing effect of progesterone uterus does not receive a signal to stop growth. In some women, this leads to an increase in the uterus, which is beginning to put pressure on neighboring organs, the bladder (the front) or the rectum (back), and often causes discomfort and heavy bleeding during menses. In other cases, the prevalence of estrogen leads to the appearance of fibroids - a solid, benign fibrous tumor that is growing in the womb.
During menopause, fibroids are always decrease in size, however, doctors usually recommend that patients with fibroids hysterectomy. If you are diagnosed with fibroid uterus and offer to remove the uterus, not in a hurry to go under the knife, perhaps you have another choice. But it is a topic for the next article, but now let's look at how to avoid the appearance of uterine fibroids.
We have found that the fibroid uterus is due to hormonal imbalance, therefore, begs the very simple conclusion:

Of course, it's not so easy to do as it seems. In poor urban environment, food quality is poor, many new-fangled diets not only help to improve health, but on the contrary, destroy it.
