Hello my dear ones,
I would like to share about few things on fibroids with you all. Due to family history, lifestyle changes, environmental factors, a woman develop one or more fibroids during her child-bearing ages until menopause.
Even though most fibroids are non-cancerous, growth of fibroids should be monitored periodically after one is diagnosed with fibroids.
Some women have symptoms like increased menstrual bleeding followed by low hemoglobin, anemia and fatigue, severe cramping, passing large blood clots, increase in weight, mood swings, hyperpigmentation, etc., whereas some have very few symptoms which go unnoticed.
Once diagnosed with fibroids, better take the advice of an experienced gynecologist (allopathic doctor). Depending upon the severity, doctor will prescribe the suitable treatment. From the experience of my mother, 2 aunts, 2 cousin sisters and some friends, it’s utter waste of health, time and little or no benefit if you go for homeopathic and ayurvedic treatments for fibroids. Some ayurvedic tablets may arrest the growth of fibroids for few months but will badly affect your liver.
All of the above mentioned dear ones of mine suffered a lot for 3-4 years with fibroids by taking ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments. At last, they all ended up in open surgery and not laparoscopy due to the enlarged size and increase in number of fibroids. Except one friend, others had to remove their uterus too.
I too was diagnosed with 3 fibroids 2 years back (2 large and 1 medium sized). I followed doctor’s advice and underwent laparoscopic removal of fibroids.
If fibroids’ size were less, I could have undergone fibroid artery embolization rather than laparoscopy. But I had only few symptoms which I didn’t cared much and they increased in size without my knowledge. Only when I went for a checkup, doctor felt doubt and ordered ultrasound and diagnosed the fibroids.
I had passing of clots, migraines and some hyperpigmentation, which I didn’t know at that time were due to underlying fibroids and thus, fibroids remained unnoticed. I had surgery 2 years back and I have recurrence of fibroids now, which are small in size now.
I am undergoing ultrasound scan every 6 months to monitor the size of fibroids and taking care of my diet and lifestyle changes.
I am eating a Mediterranean diet with less carbs and more fiber and protein. I also do cardio exercises+ yoga daily to maintain healthy weight. I am also taking magnesium supplement prescribed by doctor which helps in migraines. If needed, I will undergo fibroid artery embolization in future after reviewing the size of fibroids with the doctor.
Please be careful if you or your ones have fibroid. When the size is less, sometimes it will shrink on its own, but sometimes it will grow gradually depending upon your body’s mechanism and genetics. Taking an experienced doctor’s advice is always the best rather than go for home remedies and homeopathic/ayurvedic treatments.
Developing hyperpigmentation on sides of mouth, passing clots, migraines, irregular periods, increased bleeding during periods, loss of libido, painful intercourse, sudden weight gain, and most importantly family history of fibroids, etc. are the points which you have to look for for the chances of fibroids.
Please share this with your dear ones too 🙏
Lots of love,
Krishna 😊
