子宫肌瘤与维生素D关系的研究进展

子宫肌瘤是妇科常见的良性肿瘤,严重影响女性的生活质量。目前临床治疗子宫肌瘤的思路是根据个体差异制定不同的保守治疗方案或手术治疗方案,但这些治疗方案都存在弊端。多年来,医学界一直在寻找更佳的治疗子宫肌瘤的方案,维生素D与子宫肌瘤之间的关系也因此被发现。作为一种类固醇类化合物,维生素D在人体各器官组织中起到重要作用。已证实的与维生素D有关的妇产科疾病包括不孕症、多囊卵巢综合征和早产等。近十年的研究证实,人体内维生素D水平降低是子宫肌瘤发生、发展的危险因素之一,目前也有研究发现补充维生素D及其类似物可以起到治疗子宫肌瘤的作用。

Research Progress on the Relationship between Uterine Fibroids and Vitamin D

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in gynecology, which seriously affect women′s quality of life. The current idea of clinical treatment of uterine fibroids is to formulate different conservative treatment plans or surgical treatment plans based on individual differences, but these treatment plans have drawbacks. For many years, the medical profession has been looking for better treatments for uterine fibroids, and the relationship between vitamin D and uterine fibroids has also been discovered. As a steroid compound, vitamin D plays an important role in various organs and tissues of the human body. The confirmed obstetrics and gynecology diseases related to vitamin D include infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome and premature delivery. Studies in the past decade have confirmed that reduced levels of vitamin D in the human body are one of the risk factors for the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids. Some current studies have also found that drug supplementation with vitamin D and its analogues can play a role in the treatment of uterine fibroids.
