When I was diagnosed with fibroids before deciding to have fibroid surgery, I thought it was essential that I understand the following
a) What is fibroma?
b) What are the normal symptoms of fibroids?
c) Fibroid risk factors
d) Alternative treatment for fibroids
In this article I am going to share with my readers information that I personally collected to answer the above questions.
What is fibroid?
These are solid muscle tissue growths in the uterus. Also known as tumors, fibroids or leiomyomas, it affects almost half of all women over the age of forty.
What are the normal symptoms of fibroids?
The symptoms of fibroids vary depending on the location, size, and complications. One in four women who suffer from it has to endure abdominal bleeding. Pain, infertility or repeated miscarriages, back pain, and urinary problems are other common symptoms of fibroids.
Fibroid Risk Factors
a) It develops more commonly in women who start menstruating at younger ages.
b) Black women are two to three times more likely than white women to be diagnosed with fibroids.
c) The incidence of fibroids is higher in women who have never had children compared to women who do.
d) Obese or overweight women are more prone to these tumors.
e) Its growth is genetic and women are twice as likely to develop it if it is familial.
f) Women who have gone through menopause are less likely to be diagnosed with it.
Alternative treatment for fibroids
Hormonal imbalance is the most likely cause of these tumors in most women. Therefore, remedies that aim to restore normal hormonal balance are very helpful in reducing the severity of fibroid symptoms. Alternative medicine practitioners advocate reducing the xenoestrogens we ingest into our body to treat fibroids naturally. Xenoestrogens are normally derived from pesticides sprayed on most fruits and vegetables, and from growth hormones commonly present in dairy and meat products.
Fibroids natural treatment also places a lot of emphasis on maintaining body weight to avoid the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. However, don’t make the mistake of dieting on your own, as low-fat diets actually sabotage your hormonal balance.
It is best to take an alternative treatment for fibroids under the guidance of a qualified alternative practitioner. I got rid of my fibroids with the help of a 7-step uterine fibroids treatment plan developed by an alternative medicine practitioner. This plan is available in downloadable format and has provided an herbal cure for fibroids to thousands of women around the world.
