Description: Uterine fibroids affect up to half of all women and are one of the primary reasons for hysterectomies. In the majority of cases, though, natural treatments can help a woman avoid such are a benign overgrowth of muscle tissue within the or within the uterine wall. The presence of any type of abnormal growth can be frightening, but it is important to know that fib raids are not cancerous, nor are they associated with a higher incidence of uterine cancer. Common symptoms of fibroids include heavy bleeding during menstruation, irregular menstrual periods, and pelvic pain.
While these symptoms may be uncomfortable, they are generally not harmful. More serious symptoms include anemia caused by heavy menstrual blood loss and bowel or bladder discomfort ,if the fibroids grow in such a way that they put pressure on the intestines or bladder. If there is not an immediate health threat, you have time to experiment with dietary changes, herbs, and other natural remedies to shrink the growths. Consult with your health-care practitioner, preferably someone who takes a holistic approach to your wellbeing and is willing to take the time to consult with you about alternative approaches to surgery.
