Menopause defeated

By: Bernadette Hopkins
Many women truly believe that their options to shrink fibroids naturally are severely limited and in some respects they are. Alternative treatment for fibroids is rarely fully endorsed by doctors as it is not as straightforward as taking a pill or having surgery.

It is important to understand though that most conventional doctors do recognize the validity of using natural treatments. However, results when used as a treatment for fibroids can be very varied and this depends almost entirely on the commitment and motivation of the woman. This means that monitoring can be difficult, time consuming and therefore costly and this lead many doctors "officially" recommending that a woman take no action as fibroids will shrink naturally during the menopause.

Now this course of action may be acceptable if you are nearing the menopause or your symptoms are very mild, but for younger women and those with severe problems, this can be a completely unacceptable approach. However, what other options are there?

For very severe cases, a hysterectomy might be considered but this comes with the inherent risks associated with major surgery, including the risk from anesthetic, bleeding or infection. In addition, even if the ovaries are left intact, there is still the chance a woman will go through an early menopause. Surgery to remove individual fibroids will almost certainly result in regrowth, as nothing will have been done to remove the actual causes of the fibroids.

Alternative treatment for fibroids is an option all women would do well to consider. However, to decide if it is right for them they need to ask themselves a few searching questions.

Would they really have the motivation to follow an approach which changed their diet, lifestyle, and exercise regime?

If the answer is yes, they could join the many thousands of women who have successfully managed to shrink fibroids naturally. By using a multifaceted approach which systematically eliminates all the possible causes of fibroids from a woman's life, for example estrogen excess and toxins, and using strategies which can shrink fibroids, such as herbal remedies, diet and exercise, many women have freed themselves from the miser of having fibroid symptoms. For some, the fibroids disappear altogether. For others, the fibroids shrink to a manageable size.
