What are fibroids? Uterine fibroids (also known as fibromyomas, leimyomas or myomas) are growths made of smooth muscle cells that appear in the uterus during childbearing years. The growths are not malignant nor are they related to cancer, but they are classified as tumors. They are extremely common and often go unnoticed by many women and often shrink after menopause. Uterine fibroids occur more frequently in black women but are almost never seen in a woman less than 20 years old.
The official medical cause of fibroid development is unknown, but it appears to react to the levels of the hormone estrogen. When estrogen levels are high, as they are during childbearing years, or pregnancy fibroids grow larger but when they decrease, as they do during menopause, fibroids shrink.
Uterine fibroids can sometimes be harmful to women, causing problems that range from pain and bleeding to miscarriages and infertility. The most common symptom is heavy uterine bleeding that occurs during the menstrual period.
Of course, alternative therapists like myself are aware of the impact that environmental toxins have on fibroids. Some toxins can mimic the effect of estrogen in the body, and cause fibroids to grow rapidly, even in women who are no longer menstruating. This can be a very frustrating diagnosis for post menopausal women.
Fortunately here are a variety of different therapies that women can choose from, depending on the symptoms and the severity of the fibroids. Herbal supplements, such as FibroidClear can reduce inflammation as well as shrinking fibroids and regulating hormone levels. There’s body cleansing, which helps to get rid of the toxins that cause fibroids to grow, and accelerate the effect of any herbal remedies for fibroids.
