Fibroid Remedies

According to the Mayo Clinic, uterine fibroid tumors are benign growths located within the uterine muscle. Their presence can go unnoticed for years and are often discovered when a doctor notices the uterus is larger than it should be. Heavy bleeding and painful periods can be the first symptoms associated uterine fibroid tumors and should be investigated. Remedies can end unpleasant symptoms, improve overall health and fertility.

Identification

• Fibroid tumors can be diagnosed with MRI exams or hysteroscopy.

Misconceptions

• If diagnosed with fibroid tumors, ask your doctor about options. Hysterectomy is no longer the only remedy available.

Surgical Remedies

• A doctor might suggest undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy. Another option, laparoscopic myolysis, might also be suggested.

Benefits

• Myomectomy and myolysis preserve the uterus, keeping surrounding pelvic organs in their original positions.

Alternative Medicine

• According to Sex, Lies and Uterine Fibroids, there is no evidence that alternative remedies shrink fibroids.

Warning

• According to OBGYN.net, adenomyocitis can mimic fibroid tumors. Tests can differentiate between the conditions.
