Can Uterine Fibroids Cause Weight Gain

  Can uterine fibroids cause weight gain??

Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that are developed in the uterus. They range in size from very small to very large. They can be so large that they can even fill the uterus. Fibroids are very common and are mostly found in women of the age group of 25-35.  As mentioned above, fibroids are non-cancerous, so mostly they are not involved in any type of complications. However sometimes they may become inconvenient and cause pain.

There are plenty of methods available for the treatment of fibroids. While choosing a particular method, females are supposed to look down on the food they consume.  There are various food items that are responsible for increasing the size of fibroids.  So, regardless of the chosen method, patients should regulate their food intake. They are supposed to put a full-stop on items that can substantially increase the size of fibroids. Greater the size of fibroids, greater would be complications. Also, the answer to the question “can uterine fibroids cause weight gain” is in yes.

Whichever fibroid treatment scheme you opt for, it must include a proper nutritional road map so that the size of the fibroids doesn’t increase. Below are some of the foods that should be avoided to keep the size of fibroids in check.

• Food chains are responsible for maintaining the ecological balance in an ecosystem. In an ecosystem, smaller animals are eaten by larger animals and food chain continues. Higher the rank of an animal in food chain, greater is the amount of xenoestrogens in these animals.  By eating smaller animals, xenoestrogens level of the larger animals increases. Basically, xenoestrogens are chemical that are very much similar to estrogen. They get accrued in the fatty tissues of the creatures we consume. As we humans are at the top of food chain, we are susceptible to xenoestrogens at the most. Xenoestrogens are believed to have significant role in the development of fibroids. Females who consume lesser amount of animal stuff have smaller likelihoods of developing fibroids. From the above we can say that uterine fibroids cause weight gain in the abdominal region.
• Red meat is the meat that is obtained from mammals. It includes beef, mutton etc. It is named as red because of its red color, when it is in raw form. Unlike white meat, it doesn’t become white on cooking. Red meat that is obtained from non-organic sources is also responsible for increasing the size of fibroids. This is for the reason that the keepers of these animal add various additives like hormones, drugs etc to increase the rate of growth of animals. Their intention is to increase the volume of animals so that they can be traded at desired price. Now, the chemical that are injected in the food stuff of the animal gets transferred to the human as they consume it. Much of this synthetic stuff includes xenoestrogens. As mentioned above, xenoestrogens have some undesirable effects o the human body. It increases the size of fibroids significantly. Besides red meat, dairy products obtained from non organic sources also lend a hand in increasing the size of fibroids.

At times, weight gain due to fibroids really becomes a nuisance. So, if you have fibroids, then you should keep yourself away from any stuff that is s source of xenoestrogens.
