Natural healing of uterine fibroids can be achieved and avoids the need for painful and expensive surgery. However, there are only a few specialist alternative practitioners who advise on natural healing for fibroids and these are pretty difficult to locate. Even if you are fortunate enough to do so, they often have very long waiting lists and expensive pricelists!

Most conventional healthcare providers may offer surgery or drug treatment for fibroids. However, these types of treatments will only mask the symptoms of fibroids and can never be a permanent cure. They will do nothing to prevent new fibroids growing. Finding someone who can help you treat the causes of fibroids is the only surefire way of shrinking existing fibroids and preventing new ones forming.

As fibroids are very rarely dangerous, they are an ideal condition to treat naturally. However, many women believe that <i>because</i> they are not dangerous, many doctors do not take women seriously when they require treatment for the often debilitating symptoms which fibroids cause. Women are often told to simply live with the condition until the menopause when fibroids will naturally shrink. However, if you have unbearable symptoms or you are still years away from the menopause, this is unacceptable.

If you are in this position and trying to decide whether to have surgery or simply live with the condition, it may well be worth considering natural healing of uterine fibroids first.

Fibroids can be notoriously difficult to treat as there is rarely just one cause. Experts believe that fibroids occur due to the subtle interaction of a number of factors which happen to be present in the woman\'s body at a particular time. It is impossible to predict with absolute certainty which women will get fibroids, although there are a number of common factors which can make a woman more likely to have fibroids. High estrogen levels can give a woman a higher chance of having fibroids, so controlling levels of this hormone is known to be one natural treatment strategy. As estrogen is both produced by, and stored in fat cells, ensuring that you maintain a healthy weight is one way of controlling fibroid growth. In addition, some women have toxins and pollutants stored in the liver which can mimic the action of estrogen and so removing this by detoxing has been helpful for some women.

Other common factors related to fibroid growth include age-if you are between 30 and 40 this increases your risk. In addition, childless women or those who have had children at a young age also have a higher likelihood as do Afro-Carribean women and those who eat a poor diet. Hereditary factors can also play a part-if your mother had fibroids you have a higher probability yourself. Women who are prone to inflammatory condition are more likely to have fibroids, so simple dietary measures like eating anti-inflammatory foods such as oats, hops and cumin can support the natural healing of uterine fibroids.

The very fact that fibroids can have multiple causes and very often the solution required is very much tailored to the individual. It would be pretty irresponsible to publish a haphazard array of advice which will certainly not be appropriate in every case and would not necessarily be helpful to shrink fibroids naturally.
