Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Uterine Fibroid! Does any one have personal knowledge of a natural treatment called FIBROID CLEAR?
   I know there are loads of info on this on the net, but I’m hoping for information from people with first hand knowledge about this form of treatment.

   How effective is it?
   How long does it take?
   How much does it cost?
   Any side effects?
   Is it FDA Approved?

   • ANSWER:
     Sorry, NOTHING works.
     I had a horrible fibroid, and had to get a Myomectomy.
     Fibroids come from too little progesterone in the system.
     Too little progesterone in the system comes from stress via poor food choices, alcohol, not enough sleep, or emotional stress.
     NEVER EVER take progesterone pills or Depo-Provera to “fix this”.
     Correct that which is hurting your body, and get the myomectomy.
     Do NOT NOT get a HYSTERECTOMY.

2. QUESTION:
   what are the other natural options to get rid of fibroid aside from hysterectomy,embolization?
   have 1 big fibroid and 7 babies fibroids,what are the natural or inexpensive treatment or ways to shrink the bigger one and is pills good for a year to slow down my menstrual cycle?

   • ANSWER:
     The pill might help make them grow more slowly, but nothing will get rid of them except hysterectomy, embolization, or myomectomy (removal of just the fibroids). Or, well, I guess you could go on Lupron to shrink them. But that’s not natural or inexpensive. If I were you i’d go for embolization.

3. QUESTION:
   Natural Treatments for Breast Fibroids?
   My dear friend (who’s 25 years old) had a breast exam last year and was told she has a breast fibroid about an inch long. As she refuses to get radical treatment like surgery, she’s hoping to at least reduce if not eliminate the growth through alternative means such as nutrition, herbs, energy treatments (qigong, reiki, etc.), and others.

   Maybe someone else out there has experience dealing with this condition?

   Where I live, in Eastern Europe, there’s not the best patient awareness (i.e. doctors helping patients know more) about alternatives, and the info on the web is confusing to me and my friend.

   Please, if you have information about this, let me know. We’re not looking for a prescription, simply helpful advice from others who’ve perhaps faced this themselves.

   Thank you.

   • ANSWER:
     Hi Natalie, I know 3 therapy for this disease: it is Surgery, Dietary Therapy, and Medicinal Therapy.

     
     
     

     For your friend I have consider dietary therapy – considered to be quite effective for the treatment of breast fibroids. Doctors recommend the following nutritional therapy plan to control breast fibroids:
     * Your friend need switch over to a low-fat, vegetarian diet because a high-fat diet not only causes obesity, but also results in imbalanced oestrogen levels, which is the primary cause of the development of breast fibroids.
     * Your friend need start taking lots of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, and high fiber foods like apples. All these increase oestrogen excretion.
     Vitamin-B rich foods such as brown rice, wheat germ and wheat germ oil, and nutritional yeast are also beneficial.
     * Your friend need avoid taking caffeine foods like chocolate, carbonated sodas, concentrated starches like pastries and fatty dairy foods, hormone-laden meats and refined sugars.
     * Also need avoid fried, sugary and salty foods, especially smoked or preserved meats during your menstrual period.
     * Your friend need eat diuretic foods, like cucumbers and watermelons, and dark green leafy vegetables to neutralize and flush out the toxins.
     * And drink plenty of water every day.
     These not complex change on diet can destroy problems your friend, Doctors also most often recommend oral contraceptives to decrease symptoms of breast fibroids.
     If this treatments is not work for your friend, when the breast fibroids fail to disappear even after several attempts at removing the fluid, so exists is only one choice – Surgery. Surgery will involve removing the fibroid lumps from the breast.

4. QUESTION:
   Has anyone had fibroid that shrunk after using herbal remedies?
   After having a scan recently, I was told that I have fibroids which are two inches big. I did some extensive research and came across a website that advises women to use herbal remedies, control their diet and do exercises to reduce them. Has anyone followed that sort of advice and shrunk them? If so, please let me know what natural products you used, which foods to avoid and any exercise that worked for you. I wish to avoid surgery or homone treatments as I hope to have kids sometime in life. Thanks for any input.

   • ANSWER:
     You should give yourself a pat on the back for avoiding surgery!!!

     The problem with fibroid tumors can simply be resolved by restoring proper progesterone levels, which restores normal growth and shedding of the endometrium.

5. QUESTION:
   Large partially pedunculated fibroid leiomyoma 10.2 x 8.6 x 9.7 of the anterior uterus… HELP?
   In a way I can tell I’m blessed why? In 2008 I used to blame myself and others who caused a car accident that I was in. I lost so much after that accident not being able to have the very good health and physic I used to have. From 162 no I weight 210. I went to so many doctors after my accident because my neck and back was really in pain. I finally found a doctor who did thank lord give me hope that everything could go back to normal. Until the other day my chiropractors to finish my treatment cause my insurance almost with no balance, he told me that he will MRI my back. When they did they found and confirmed that I had a herniated disc L5-S1 that this accident had make worst because a previous chiropractor told me I had a disc problem before 3 days before the accident etc… But that MRI for my back shows a growing mass inside my pelvic. They send me for a pelvic ultrasound. Also the days of the MRI my tummy to the right side move so much that was crazy and I was extremely dizzy. Result came like that:

   Age: 26
   Sex: Female

   History: Pelvic pain with heavy menses.

   Finding: utilizing a full urinary bladder as an acoustic window, the pelvis was evaluated and the uterus is in a normal anteverted/anteflexed orientation measuring 8.4 x 9.8 x 8.0 cm. The uterus contains a very large anterior complex leiomyoma, which measures 10.2 x 8.6 x 9.7 cm. The right and left adnexa are normal. There is no free fluid within the cul-de-sac.

   Impression: There is a large soft tissue mass involving the anterior uterus almost certainly representing a large partially pedunculated leiomymoma, which measures 10.2 x 8.6x 9.7 cm. This is an otherwise normal study.

   I had so many symptoms related to this now I realized when I make search, I though it was normal to have these symptoms or I was like that but I was in silence sick.

   -My right side belly itch me so much when I eat sugar or bad food or fell like biting me inside to my skin.
   -when I crave too much sugar and eat really too much I have a gluant mucus think like mucus and clear going out my vagina with no smell, sometimes itch lightly. When I take the GSE grapseed oil it’s ok.
   -under my skin all over my body something fell like stuff crawling.

     Generally, people on Answer Yahoo aren’t intelligent enough to write complete sentences, much less offer medical advice, answer questions or give opinions.
