2.Synthesize methods of preventing uterine fibroids from doctors

Doctors said that there is currently no specific vaccine for uterine fibroids. Therefore, to prevent the "visiting" of the disease, you need to take some proactive activities to prevent the disease from early on as follows:

Not only that, red meat is also the cause of many other health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, blood pressure... Therefore, your advice is to limit your intake of red meat and instead is to increase the amount of green vegetables every day. Fat can stimulate the production of estrogen and the formation of many harmful hormones that are harmful to the ovaries and uterus. Therefore, this is also a food group that should be limited in the daily diet. Add more fiber, vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin D. These substances can help reduce the risk of uterine fibroids in women by about 30%. For patients with this condition, vitamin D can also improve the size of the tumor.

Get enough sleep and before 11pm. Don't stay up too late. Avoid excessive stress because people who are psychologically unstable, easily angry, troubled or are depressed can increase the risk of stagnation of blood and blood, liver failure... and thereby create favorable conditions for development. of uterine fibroids. Absolutely do not use stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol... Regularly do physical activities to promote blood circulation. According to research, exercising every day can reduce the risk of uterine fibroids by 30% to 40%. 2.3. Attention to safe sex If you are not planning to have a baby, using a condom during sex is a safe measure, not only helps prevent pregnancy but also prevents infections / STDs in the genital tract. This somewhat limits the factors that cause uterine fibroids from the outside.
2.4. Periodic gynecological examination

Very few women think about having a routine gynecological exam. However, most uterine fibroids do not cause typical symptoms in their early stages. The disease can only be detected through examinations. Therefore, regular gynecological examination will help prevent as well as detect the disease early to have the most appropriate treatment.
In short, the HPV vaccination that prevents cervical cancer does not prevent fibroids in women. To prevent the formation of these fibroids, you need to have a proper diet as well as a healthy lifestyle and safe sex.
