Alternative Fibroid Treatments – How to Eliminate Fibroids Naturally
If you are interested in using alternative fibroid treatments, you may have already discovered that there are very few doctors who can advise on their use. Indeed, most women who have fibroids are offered surgery or drugs which do nothing but mask the symptoms of fibroids and do nothing to reduce the size of them or prevent new ones forming. There are very few healthcare professionals who know how to treat the actual causes of fibroids and the ones that do can be extremely costly.
As fibroids are very rarely life threatening, they are an ideal condition to treat naturally. If you are considering surgery or are simply wondering whether to resign yourself to years of suffering, then it is certainly worth looking at your options.
One of the reasons why fibroids can be difficult and time consuming to treat is that there is no “one” cause of fibroids. It is thought that fibroids grow by chance as a result of a combination of factors which subtly interact within a woman’s body. It is difficult to say for sure which women will get fibroids as they age, but there are a number of factors which increase the likelihood. Having said this, there can be situations where identical twins who seemingly have similar lifestyles can have different experiences-one could be prone to huge fibroids and the other have none. This is because it can be a very subtle trigger which sets off a chain of events to cause fibroid growth.
It is known that fibroids are fueled by excess estrogen and a high level of this hormone could be responsible for both starting off fibroids in certain women and increasing the size of fibroids in others. Age is another factor. If you are between 30 and 40, you are more likely to have fibroids than at other ages. Afro-Caribbean women are also more likely to have fibroids as are women who have no children or who finished having children at a young age. Hereditary factors are also play a part and women who are prone to inflammatory conditions can also be more likely to have fibroids.
Alternative fibroid treatments can include simple measures like maintaining a healthy weight. Women who are overweight tend to carry excess estrogen as this is manufactured and stored in fat cells. In addition, certain pollutants can mimic estrogen and can become stored in the liver. It therefore follows that a good liver detox can help to remove this which can be beneficial as this can continually fuel fibroid growth. For women who suffer from inflammatory conditions, eating foods which have natural anti-inflammatory properties can be beneficial. Such foods include oats, hops , cumin and rosemary.

QUESTION:
What treatments should I consider for a fibroid?
I am a 30year old female. I got married 7months ago and we have been trying to get pregnant since then. Before marriage, I was not on any pills, I have never taken one… What I practised was abstinence.. I am sure it may sound weird!
I went for an ultrasound when I noticed a palpable mass in my lower abdominal region, just inferior to the belly button and I was told I have a large fibroid growing out of the posterior wall of the fundus of the uterus. uterus and ovaries were normal. The fibroid itself measured 9*7*2, larger than the uterus measuring ~ 8cm, forgot other dimensions. it is however asymptomatic.. no pain, no bleeding, no blood spotting..
I am awaiting a referral to a specialist, but my doctor told me that the likely effective solution is a surgery.
I have been really disturbed, I really want to have children….. What do you think..? how successful is the likely outcome of surgery and is there any other treatment.. Is the fibroid preventing me from getting pregnant?-
ANSWER:
i am sorry to hear that

QUESTION:
Does anyone have experience in homeopathic treatments for fibroid tumors of the uterus?
I have a dear friend who is considering surgery in the near future. We do not live near a homeopathic pratictioner but she is very interested in holistic and homeopathic treatment.-
ANSWER:
Here is a Homeopathic prescription for tumors of the Uterus SULFUR & BRYONIA both in 200 together on the first day but just two doses per week on the second day BELLADONNA + PODOPHYLUM and CAULOPHYLLUM all 3 in 200, again just twice a week but not on the same day when you take the 1st two SULFUR and BRYONIA and take these cell salts every four hours regularly FERRUM PHOS 6X,CALCAREA FLOUR 6 X KALI MUR 6X and SILICEA 6X,
Keep me posted about her progress and conditions regularly at least once a week. Though I have given you the prescription but it will be lots better if the patient describes her own symptoms in detail, Homeopathy is totally invidualized medication so its absolutely necassary that the patient gives all details the way they feel them. Feel free to email me.
Take Care and God Bless you !

QUESTION:
I just found out I have fibroid tumor. Has anyone had any experiences with treatments?
I was just told I have a fibroid the size an orange. The Doctor has given me some options. First- I would be given hormones for 6 months to shrink the size of the fibroid and then have the fibroid removed. The down side is that the hormones will put me in a medically induced menapause. With all of the symtoms of menapause, including decrease in bone density. And the fibroid could grow right back!!! Next the doctor suggested Ablation. This is where the destroy the lining of my uterus with heat. This would render me infertile and does have some risks. The last resort is hysterectomy but the only one that would be 100% effective. But I would like to keep my uterus.I am 35 years old and am not planning on having anymore children. Please if anyone has any stories or suggestions let me know I’m not sure which treatment I should pick.
I haven’t mentioned that I have had symptoms. I have VERY heavy periods that last about 7-10 days. I am now anemic because of this. Next because of the size of the fibroid it is pressing against my intestines and causing other problems.-
ANSWER:
Thirteen years ago, my doctor found a fibroid bigger than a softball. I chose the hysterectomy, but kept my ovaries (no hormone therapy needed). I was 40 years old, and have not regretted it a day since. I wasn’t planning on having any more kids, and I lost the monthly routine (along with all the back pain and cramping). I have started menopause, but it’s mild.I didn’t give my doctor any other option. It’s what I wanted.

QUESTION:
Anyone out there who is familiar with the new fibroid treatment where the blood vessels are snipped?
I am not sure what the proper name for this procedure is I believe it’s fairly new. So, far I’ve heard that it’s done laproscopic and the blood vessels around the fibroid are cut w/ a laser and then the blood supply is cut off from the fibroid causing it to shrink up and fall out on it’s own. Anyone know if this causes infertility? or have any additional info. about this procedure? THANKS!!-
