Uterine fibroids  are non-cancerous growths that develop in or just outside a woman’s uterus (womb). Uterine fibroids develop from normal uterus muscle cells that start growing abnormally.

 

Causes of Uterine fibroids

The exact cause of Uterine Fibroid is still not clear but their growth appears to depend on increasing estrogen hormone levels. Genetic factors are known to include development of Uterine fibroids. Also, suppressed sexual desires and functions are often found to be one of the reasons in many patients.

 

Symptoms of Uterine fibroids

While most fibroids are asymptomatic, they can grow and cause some symptoms depending on their location and size, like

  •  Excessive, heavy, irregular or prolonged bleeding
  •  Uterine heaviness 
  •  Pain in lower abdomen
  •  Painful sexual intercourse
  •  Bloating
  •  Infertility
  •  Abdominal lump 
  •  Urinary frequency
  •  Bowel pressure with constant urging for stool

 

Diagnosis of Uterine fibroids

The diagnosis is primarily done by an Ultrasound (USG) abdomen.

 

Conventional treatment

Surgical removal of the fibroids along with the uterus is often the line of treatment in the conventional medicine.

 

Homeopathic and herbal treatment for Fibroid Uterus

Early and mild or moderate cases of Uterine fibroid often respond to homeopathy and herbal medicines. Large and multiple fibroids may take very long time.

 

How our treatment works for fibroids ?

All fibroids have a network of blood vessels which keep the fibroid live as well as help it grow in size. We assume that the medicines we prescribe help by

  • Reducing or cutting the blood flow to the tumor. This is evident by the reduced bleeding or hemorrhage experienced by women on starting homeopathic  medicines at our clinics.
  • Blocking the blood flow causes death of the entire or part of the fibroid
  • The fibroid usually shrinks in size over a few months. You may also experience pieces of the amputated fibroid being expelled out usually during your  menstrual cycle.
