Vitamins For Fibroids

Which Vitamins Are Particularly Useful In The Treatment For Uterine Fibroids

About the author: I am an ex banker turned home maker. As soon as I reached the age of 40 I started experiencing a number of typical awomen’s problemsa. Like most others I too always resorted to modern medicines as my first line of treatment. Needless to say it was always accompanied by a number of side effects. Sick and tired of bearing up with the side effects I decided to do some research of my own. Thanks to internet I came across ideas and methods of natural cure for most of these typical women’s issues. I have tried these out personally and now am a strong believer in nature cure. Nature Cure is absolutely safe, has no side effects and offers permanent solution for most of our problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   vitamins & herbs for uterine fibroids?
   has anyone had any luck on reducing their uterine fibroids via herbs and vitamins

   • ANSWER:
     Fibroids are estrogen driven.
     Dr. John Lee had great success in treating them with bioidentical progesterone. It opposes the estrogen, and balances out the effects.

   • ANSWER:
     hello there, yes i had them and dealt w/them for a few yrs. after awhile they just got bigger (1 cm per yr.) and one was pressing on my bladder and had to use the bathroom CONSTANTLY.
     The year b4 I had my surgery (myomectomy) I got accupuncture 1-2 times a month and it really did help A LOT. He also gave me my own individually designed herbal concoction that I took–like one or two tab. daily. they would temporarity reduce after the accupuncture treatments and give me some relief b4 the next visit.
     the smaller the better, and the sooner you treat them the better. If they are small you have the opportunity to have your doc remove them/out patient procedure.
     but major surgery wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be. it was the fear that was the most difficult to deal with, but well worth the operation.
     cut down on caffeine, it’s horrible for fibroids. however i actually noticed i had less pain back then if i drank organic coffee
     cut down on sugars and fats, but MOST OF ALL, ANY MEATS you eat, esp. beef, or any meat, make SURE it’s organic. all that hormone junk they have in those store bought meats irritate fibroids terribly. eat a lot of fresh fruits, veggies, seafood, beans, soy milk.
     oh and watch out for dairy, esp. cheese.

3. QUESTION:
   What are some natural treatements (diet, vitamins) I can take increase my progesterone?
   I’m relatively healthy, married and 26. For the past 3 years, I’ve begun spotting about 1 day before my period. From what I’ve read, it can be caused by low progesterone, endometriosis or fibroids. I think that I’m having a difficult time getting pregnant because of low progesterone which can affect implantation into my uterus. What are some natural solutions I can do? I don’t want to take prescriptions or use the progesterone cream.

   • ANSWER:
     If you have had your hormonal level checked and have low progesterone here is a few options. One you can buy a cream from the health food stores, made of plants. You can also do what is called Bio-Identical hormonal replacement. You would have a saliva test done. Pharmacies who sell bio identicals will give you the test. You have to spit a LOT in the morning. It will test all your female hormone levels. This test is more sensative and acurate than even blood. The Bio-Identical’s are all natural, and the pharmasist will mix them together right there to the exact level your body needs. You can get the test done for about 0.00. Then you get the results back, and your Dr. would have to prescribe the exact dosage of what you need. Many Dr’s who practice natural medicine are encouraging Bio-Identicals. They have seemed to help many women with a lot less side effects than the standard pills and creams. If you have not had the low progesterone verified by any testing and are just guessing. I would tell you to do the Lab, and get check at least. Have a Dr verify this is the problem. I tried natural low dose health food store progesterone once to help my cycle. OMG, that was not my problem I have never EVER had a headache so desperatly bad in my life. It was the MOMMA Migrain of them all. I’m including a link for more info on the Bio Identicals. It is a link for Women to Women, this site is awesome. The clinic was established by Dr. Christina Northrup. Her book womens bodies womens wisdom, helped me get rid of fibroids without medication, and without surgery. One was the size of a tennis ball. I would highly recomend the book to any women as a guide to your woman hood. She goes over all kinds of female problems and the most natural way to the most invasive way to treat them. I have had great luck with her natural methods. Good luck hon, email me if you want, we can talk more.

4. QUESTION:
   One more question then Im off to bed. About prenatal vitamins!!!?
   I was prescribed pain medication from an ER visit 3 days ago for abdominal pain due to my fibroids. The medication is called “Tylenol w/ Codeine” which is exactly what it is! I want to take one tonite as Im having discomfort, but I just took my prenatal vitamin and Im unsure if the two will mix? Has anyone asked their doc this question before and got an answer? Just curious.

   • ANSWER:
     Shouldn’t be a prob. Doc’s who prescribe preg women medications take into account that they are likely on a prenatal vitamin regiment.
     Besides, after women have their babies, they are given an Rx for painkillers. And those who are breastfeeding are STILL taking their prenatal vitamins at that point as well. I don’t see how it could interfere.
     Sweet dreams!
