What is Fibroid?
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue. The size of the cluster can be from 1 millimetre to more than 20 centimetres (8 inches) in diameter or even larger. For comparison, a fibroid can be as small as a small seed or as large as a watermelon. Uterine fibroids can develop at any age; however, they most often appear in women of reproductive age, usually between the ages of 30 and 40.
If treatment is started as soon as the symptoms are detected, fibroids can be stopped before they grow. Let’s now discuss the symptoms of fibroids.

Causes of Fibroids
Several factors contribute to their development, which can make the condition worse:
- Hormonal imbalances: Estrogen and progesterone, hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, play an important role in the disease’s development. These grow during the reproductive years when hormone levels are high and often shrink after menopause when hormone levels decrease.
- Genetic factors: If any member of your family has had this disease, then you may also have to face the symptoms of fibroids and this disease. Having a family history of the condition increases your chances of getting it.
- One risk factor is vitamin D deficiency, which increases fibroids' growth. But when enough vitamin D is present in the body, it reduces the chemicals that cause fibroid growth. This is why women suffering from this condition are recommended to have a diet rich in vitamin D.
- Stress causes changes in hormone levels that promote fibroid growth. Improving your emotional and physical health by exercising, getting enough sleep, and using home remedies for fibroids may also help prevent fibroids.
Types of Fibroids
Several types are mentioned as follows:
- Intramural fibroids: These are embedded in the muscle wall of your uterus and are considered the most common type
- Submucosal fibroids: These develop beneath your uterus's inner lining
- Subserosal fibroids: This grows under the outer surface layer of your uterus. They can get quite large and grow into your pelvis
- Pedunculated fibroids: This is the least common type, and these attach to your uterus through a stalk or stem. They are often described as mushroom-like because they have a stalk and a wide top
A List of Practical and Valuable Natural Ways to Cure Fibroids
- Healthy Eating:
Eat plenty of fresh fruits, organic vegetables, and whole grains. Try to stay away from processed meals and too much sugar. Maintaining a diet high in fibre can help your body get rid of extra estrogen.
- Managing Weight:
Being overweight can make the patient’s condition more challenging, as fat cells produce more estrogen. Eat well and participate in physical activity regularly to maintain a healthy weight. It is the most effective natural way to reduce fibroids.
- Blood Pressure Control:
Research suggests that high blood pressure might be connected to the progression of the disease, so managing your blood pressure could help with the treatment. Have a check on your blood pressure and limit salty foods.
- Home Remedies:
Natural remedies like garlic, green tea, lemon juice, and hot water bottles (set at low temperatures) can help reduce fibroid growth. These ingredients reduce inflammation and estrogen levels.
- Additional Tips:
Get enough sleep each night and consider quitting smoking. Try to limit the exposure to chemicals that can raise estrogen levels, like those in fertilisers, pesticides, and plastics.
Fibroid Diet Plan
Diet can have a significant effect in minimising the further progression of the condition and supporting the healing process. Here, we mention specific diet recommedations in accordance with the disease.
Food items to avoid
- Carbohydrate Rich Diet: Like fried foods, junk and fast foods, products made from white flour like (patties, pasta), rice in large quantities, and dairy products as these have high-fat content
- Estrogen-rich foods: Like red meat and soy products
Food items to include
- High-fibre food items like fruits (apples, bananas) and vegetables (lemons) have antioxidant properties, and beetroot can be eaten as a salad or in the form of juice
- Apart from this, if you smoke or drink, then you have to avoid it because it aggravates your condition
Effects on fertility
The size and location of your fibroids can impact your ability to conceive or carry the baby in the following ways:
- Interruption of the fusion between sperm and egg
- Disruption of the implantation process of the embryo
- Impaired ability to maintain a pregnancy
- Alteration in the positioning and development of the foetus
Can Homeopathy Prevent Fibroids Surgery?
In the allopathic set of medicines, fibroids diagnosis often leads to a hysterectomy (the removal of the uterus), causing menopause. Another treatment option is a myomectomy, which removes fibroids while preserving the uterus but might lead to a repeat occurrence. Fibroid surgery can cause infections, bleeding, and other serious issues like organ damage or blood clots. However, fibroid homeopathic medicine focuses on a holistic and effective treatment approach.
As a result, many choose homeopathic treatments for a non-invasive approach to help manage these conditions. Homeopathic offers a set of natural medicine for fibroids that can help balance hormones, shrink fibroids, and relieve heavy periods, all without side effects.
