Fibroids

Fibroids

Fibroids are non malignant growths in or on the wall of the uterus.

They can be symptomless, but if large they can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, cramps, back pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowel.

Fibroids are thought to be related to high oestrogen levels and may be made worse by taking the oral contraceptive.

Fibroids may be surgically removed if inability to conceive is a problem, or if they are bleeding so heavily as to cause anaemia. Very large Fibroids might have to be removed via hysterectomy.

Tip: herbal medicine aims to give herbs to balance the hormones that are thought to be responsible for the growth of fibroids.
