If you are wondering what to do about fibroids, the first step is to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment advice from your doctor. Very often, as fibroids are rarely considered dangerous, the most common advice is to wait and see what happens.

This is all very well if your fibroids are small and relatively symptom-free. However, if your symptoms affect the quality of your life and you are years away from the menopause, when fibroids naturally shrink, then doing nothing is unsatisfactory.

Conventional options include surgery to remove groups of, or individual fibroids or drug treatment to temporarily reduce the size of your fibroids (usually prior to surgery). However, both of these options are not considered permanent solutions as they do not eliminate the root causes and fibroids are likely to regrow once treatment is finished. Hysterectomies are sometimes offered in severe cases, but due to the major nature of this type of surgery it is not a popular option.

You may be thinking about what to do about fibroids in terms of using natural treatments. Indeed, this is often the best way forward for most women as when carried out correctly and robustly, this is the way to eliminate the root causes, effectively turning the body into a "fibroid free" zone. As fibroids form due to the interaction of a number of primary and secondary causes, it is only by using a multifaceted approach that you can be sure of success.

Some of the common causes of fibroids include:-

* Dietary factors
* Lifestyle
* Toxicity
* Hormonal imbalances
* Hereditary issues
* Stress factors

One of the best steps you can take if you are wondering what to do about fibroids is to change your diet as this can have a great effect on your fibroids. Stick to organic produce and avoid eating foods which contain artificial additive and preservatives. Eat lean meats and fish which is farmed in a non-toxic environment. Eat a minimum of 5 portions of fruits and vegetables and drink 2 liters of filtered water each day. Many women also find that avoiding dairy produce can help their symptoms.
