5 Ways to Identify, Reduce & Shrink Fibroids Naturally

5 Ways to Identify, Reduce & Shrink Fibroids Naturally

Hey 87ers, this month we’re shedding light on a topic that many women are dealing with but might not always talk about—fibroids. It's Fibroids Awareness Month, and whether you or a loved one has experienced fibroids, you know how real the struggle can be. The pain can range from a dull ache to intense, excruciating discomfort, and for many, fibroids complicate everything from menstruation to pregnancy to fertility.

Unfortunately, fibroids often end in surgery, but we’re here to break it down and show you that there are ways to manage them naturally. Let’s dive in and tackle fibroids head-on. 

What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop from the muscle tissue of the uterus. A woman can have just one or multiple fibroids at once. They can range from the size of a tiny seed to as large as a grapefruit. Even though fibroids aren’t cancerous, they can seriously mess with your health and quality of life. They can even come back after surgery, so it’s important to manage them effectively.

Types of Fibroids & Where They Grow:

  • Submucosal: These fibroids develop just under the lining of the uterus and can affect the inner cavity.
  • Intramural: These are the most common and grow within the muscular wall of the uterus.
  • Subserosal: These fibroids grow on the outer part of the uterus and can become large enough to press on other organs.
  • Pedunculated Submucosal: These fibroids grow on a stalk and are found on the surface of the uterus or in the cavity of the uterus. They can cause severe pain or discomfort.
  • Fundal Subserosal: These fibroids grow on the outside of the uterus, near the top (fundus) and can press against other organs, often causing pain or bloating.

Symptoms of Fibroids:

Fibroids affect every woman differently, and sometimes there aren’t any symptoms at all! But if you’re dealing with fibroids, here are some common signs:

  • Abdominal and pelvic pain (seriously, it can be intense)
  • Menstrual periods lasting longer than a week
  • Back pain or pain in your legs
  • Dizziness
  • Extreme fatigue from anemia (feeling drained all the time)
  • Swollen abdomen
  • Infertility or complications conceiving
  • Painful intercourse
  • Difficulty urinating
  • Sometimes, no physical symptoms at all!

How to Reduce the Risk of Fibroids Naturally:

  1. Reduce and Remove Stress: Stress can seriously impact your hormones and lead to fibroid development. Sweat it out with a workout, do some yoga, or find other ways to relieve tension. The less stress, the better your overall health.

  2. Balance Your Hormones: A sedentary lifestyle, coupled with poor eating habits, can lead to hormone imbalances, which is a known trigger for fibroids. Make it a habit to stay active and eat nutritious foods that support hormone balance.

  3. Increase Vitamin and Fiber Intake: Add more vitamins and fiber into your diet to promote a healthy body. Fiber-rich foods help balance estrogen levels, which play a key role in fibroid development.

  4. Routine Health Screenings: Regular pap smears are essential, but don’t stop there. Ask your doctor to check for conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which are linked to fibroids.

  5. Adopt a Fibroid-Friendly Nutrition Plan: The foods you eat can play a big part in managing fibroids. Try eating anti-inflammatory foods and reducing your intake of processed foods to support your body’s natural healing.
