Getting pregnant is actually quite difficult. In fact, there’s only about a 15 to 20 percent chance you’ll conceive each month, even when you’re actively trying. That means that for many couples, seeing a fertility specialist is an essential part of the baby-making process. Continue reading →

1. Above Average Waking Temperature

Each of us has an average range of waking temperature. To know your average, set your alarm for the earliest time you wake up, but after you will have gotten at least four solid hours of sleep. Keep the same thermometer right next to your bed and take your temperature before you get up (or take a drink of water or even move around.) Continue reading →

Despite a long standing faith in the power of allopathic medication and other conventional forms of treatment, more and more people are now opting for natural forms of remedy.

Natural remedies for uterine fibroids are an alternative form of treatment that is both safe and reliable. Uterine fibroids, also known as fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas, develop within the uterus.

Women across the globe face this problem in their reproductive years.

The popularity of natural treatments specifically for uterine fibroids has risen in the last few years.

Natural treatments for fibroids tend to be much safer compared to conventional medication as they cause little or no side effects.

This is because, unlike conventional medication, natural treatments do not interfere with your body’s internal mechanism.

If you are looking for natural remedies for your uterine fibroids, these are some of the options available to you:

Herbs
Using herbal treatment for your fibroids helps in balancing the hormonal activity and strengthening the liver, thereby reducing estrogen levels in the uterus.

Herbs also help in dealing with difficulties like heavy bleeding and excruciating cramps.

Herbs like vitex, help in lowering estrogen level, while herbs like dandelion root and milk thistle, help in improving liver function.

Other herbs like nettle and yellow dock work towards detoxification of the body and help to regulate the heavy bleeding caused due to fibroids.

Proper Diet
This is possibly the most fundamental treatment among all the natural remedies for uterine fibroids.

A diet rich in saturated fats will cause your liver to be dysfunctional and subsequently increase estrogen levels and cause hormonal imbalances.

A recommended diet would be one which is low fat and high fiber.

Therefore, foods like oats, millet and brown rice, fish, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and soy are advisable. It is safe to avoid dairy products in general.

The key factors to ensure are that firstly, your diet is mainly alkaline-forming so as to balance the acidic content in your body and secondly, the food you eat does not overwork your digestive system.

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to increase circulation in and around the pelvic region. This helps in relaxing the uterine muscles and subsequently reduces abdominal cramps.

The essential oils of ginger, rose and marjoram are greatly beneficial for relaxing the body, stimulating circulation and balancing the hormones. These essential oils may also be used in therapies like abdominal compresses.

Meditation
Stress has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. For women, stress can prove to be a catalyst for uterine fibroids. Stress increases blood pressure and causes hormone levels to be erratic, thus aggravating the growth of uterine fibroids.

Meditation can go a long way in relaxing the body and calming the mind. It also helps you to deal better with the complications that fibroids entail. While meditating, it is important to inhale and exhale slowly through your nostrils only.

Exercise
Exercises like aerobic dancing, brisk walking, cycling and running help to reduce stress and blood pressure. Exercises also help in stimulating a healthy blood circulation and relieving muscle tension.

This greatly relieves sufferers from abdominal pain associated with menstruation and fibroids. It is advisable to avoid participating in sports like basketball and tennis as they tend to increase the stress levels and, thus, enhance the growth of fibroids.

When using natural remedies for uterine fibroids, it is advisable to utilize a combination of remedies for a wholesome approach to the problem.

Thus complementing a proper diet with meditation and exercise will help in dealing with the condition holistically.

Holistic treatments work towards strengthening your body from within and thereby equipping your body with the force it needs to fight diseases in general and fibroids in particular.

Natural remedies require some dedication and patience. It is important to remember, however, that persistently following these treatments will help in curing the fibroids permanently and prevent the condition from occurring in future.

Recognizing the symptoms of a disease is the first step towards a proper diagnosis and timely cure.

Thus, understanding the underlying signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids, can go a long way in getting timely help and thus stopping further growth and development of the fibroids.

Usually, the presence of one or two small fibroids in the uterus is hardly noticeable. It is when larger fibroids begin to develop, or the fibroids grow in number within the uterus, that it becomes immensely uncomfortable and problematic.

This is when your body starts displaying certain uterine fibroid symptoms that you must be able to identify.

Uterine fibroids symptoms tend to be painful and distressing. Some of these symptoms are:

Bleeding

This is the most obvious sign to show the presence of fibroids in your uterus. Conspicuous fibroids in the uterus tend to cause a uterine congestion.

This leads to blockage of normal menstrual flow, which in turn causes the blood to flow heavily when released. Fibroids can also cause prolonged bleeding, bleeding in between menstrual cycles, heavy clotting and spotting.

The bleeding can even be extremely painful. If excessive and prolonged bleeding remains unchecked, it can cause anemia.

Pain

One in every three women affected with fibroids claim to feel a pain associated with their condition. Since fibroids are foreign to your body, the uterus will often try to expel them from within. This causes excruciating cramps.

Again, if a fibroid happens to degenerate because it couldn’t get enough blood, the uterus painfully reacts to the dead cells.

Many a times, the stalk like growth, with which the fibroid attaches itself to the uterus, might twist, causing severe pain in and around the pelvic region.

Fibroids even cause pain during sexual intercourse. In some cases, the fibroids are so large that they start to press against the muscles of the lower back region causing pain in the back and in the legs.

Pressure

As fibroids grow in size, they tend to put pressure on the uterus and the abdomen.

Large fibroids also put pressure on the urinary bladder as a result of which one feels the urge to urinate frequently. This is a very bothersome uterine fibroid symptom.

To make matters worse, many a times, there’s a possibility of the fibroids pressing the uterus against the pelvic bones.

This leads to a drastic decline in the flow of urine and subsequently causes serious kidney problems.

Infertility and Pregnancy Related Problems

As fibroids grow bigger in size and increase in number, they begin to obstruct the sperm from reaching the egg by compressing the fallopian tube.

In a case where fertilization does manage to occur, the inflammation in the uterus is so extreme that the fertilized egg is unable to plant itself safely.

Due to an increase in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body during pregnancy, there’s a high chance of the fibroids developing further and causing severe discomfort and pain.

Emotional Upheavals

Very often, the emotional or mental symptoms are completely ignored while only the physical or bodily symptoms are paid attention to.

The hormonal imbalances, the painful cramps and the prolonged periods of menstruation very often cause stress, depression and “mood swings”.

If you feel frequent emotional upheavals, do not underestimate them as they may very well be signaling the presence of fibroids.

If you are facing any of these major uterine fibroids symptoms, you must consult your gynecologist or any other health care professional immediately.

While there are a wide variety of treatments to choose from, it is best to approach the problem in a holistic fashion.

Holistic treatments are safe, and can be surely considered as an option.

For example, complementing herbal therapy with a proper diet and therapeutic meditation helps to tackle fibroid causing factors like hormonal imbalance, lowered immunity and stress.

Holistic treatments take into account all the contributing factors of uterine fibroids and helps to not only remove the existing fibroids but also permanently prevents the development of fibroids in the future.

With holistic treatments, your body will be able to rejuvenate itself from within and restore itself to a state of health and well being.
