Conventional methods of treatment for uterine fibroids involve three approaches.
The first one is to wait and watch if small fibroids disappear on its own.
The second one is to take help of specific mediation and the last approach is surgery.
Many a time fibroids do not cause any problem.
Since they are not malignant women suffering from fibroids prefer to resort to natural uterine fibroid treatment methods.
Hormonal imbalance is known to be the primary cause of fibroid tumors.
Therefore restoring the hormonal balance can be helpful in minimizing its symptoms and growth.
This approach combined with appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle worked for me.
By using this approach I was able to shrink the size of my fibroids naturally.
In this article I am going to share details of some of the factors which contribute to the growth of fibroids.
Diet A poor diet can elevate estrogen levels which trigger fibroids.
Diet in saturated fats, alcohol and sugar can overwork the liver.
This prevents the liver from breaking down hormones efficiently.
While undergoing treatment for uterine fibroids you must take a low-fat, high fiber diet.
Medical experts also believe that a reduction in the xenoestrogens in the daily diet is helpful in fibroid treatment.
Xenoestrogens are found in the pesticides sprayed on fruit and vegetables and in many milk and meat products.
Therefore it is best if you can consume organic food as far as possible.
You must aim to reduce the intake of estrogen heavy foods in your diet.
Weight Estrogens are stored in body fat.
Excess weight encourages an imbalance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Therefore it is necessary for you to maintain a healthy body weight.
However do not diet excessively as this too can also cause hormonal imbalance.
Stress Reduction Increasing or introducing exercise in your daily routine and reducing stress levels can be helpful for fibroids.
Alternative Medicine Many alternative remedies are available for uterine fibroid treatment which restores the hormonal balance in the body.
For example traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood and energy flow needs to be unblocked during the treatment for uterine fibroids.
Herbal medicines too are effective in successfully curing fibroid symptoms.
It is best if you follow alternative herbal treatment under the guidance and supervision of a qualified practitioner.
I found one such guide developed by a qualified alternative medicine practitioner online.
This guide consists of a seven step plan to treat fibroids.
