23BCan Your Emotions Affect Fibroid Growth?

The human mind can have a huge impact on the human body. The fact is that

our emotions can help us remain healthy and strong; but they can also set us

up for increased health problems – including fibroids.

The Limbic Brain System is a complicated system in the body which not only

oversees our emotions, but helps to control our hormones. When we are

scared or upset, the Limbic system tells other parts of the body, including the

pituitary gland, to release different hormones and chemicals to help us stay

safe. This affect is often referred to as the Fight or Flight response. While

designed to protect us, if we initiate the Fight or Flight Response too often, the

hormones that are earmarked for one purpose are redirected to another. This

can leave the parts of the body in need of those chemicals at a loss. And this

can cause problems. A female reproductive system that is starved from the

right amount of certain hormones at the right time may develop menstruation

problems, or it could signal uterine muscle cells to begin reproducing which

could create a fibroid tumor.
