Excision of uterine fibroids can hurt the liver , Uterine fibroids are caused by visceral dysfunction, stagnation of Qi and blood stasis.
The liver is the main site of estrogen metabolism. It can convert estradiol, which stimulates the growth of uterine fibroids, into less irritating estriol, which is then excreted through bile and urine. Therefore, if a person’s liver function is impaired, there is too much estradiol in the body, and uterine fibroids will appear. Uterine fibroids belong to the liver duct, and the liver controls drainage. It not only relieves the liver itself, but also drains the blood in the whole body. Therefore, cutting the uterine fibroids will have a certain impact on the liver.
Recommendation: Whether the patient’s uterine fibroids need to be removed, it is still necessary to go to a regular gynecological hospital for a clear examination, follow the advice of professional doctors, and find the best treatment plan to reduce the harm to the body due to treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain an optimistic attitude during treatment.
