Does obesity cause uterine fibroids?

My body is too fat. I have grown about 10 pounds this year. After that, my menstruation has been abnormal, and my stomach still has lumps. Do I have uterine fibroids?

    Obesity is also the cause of uterine fibroids, which is mainly related to the accumulation of more estrogen in excess fat in obese patients, and the relatively high estradiol activity in obese people is much higher than that in normal people The activity of estradiol, and metabolic disturbances generally occur in obese patients, resulting in an unregulated progesterone regulation cycle, which develops into secondary infertility. The lack of progesterone inhibitory effects can lead to excessively increased estrogen and high female Hormone status promotes an increased risk of uterine fibroids.
