why do fibroids occur?
Posted , 4 users are following.
endometreosis, fibroids.
a high percentage of us girls get them.
we are told by the medics that~
they grow or shrink according to what our hormones are doing.
they stop us getting pregnant.
they should be whiped out individually or the whole uterus.
have we ever stopped to think why they grow.
our bodies are very clever machines.
have women always had fibroids or in this day and age is our lifestyles causing them.
why are so many young girls getting them?
they are almost never malignant.
one thing for certain is that when they grow big, they cause a lot of pain and bloat, gas and pipi probs.
one other thought is how can mollases help shrink them.
its sugar!
just having a rare 'thinking day' .

not only the pill but hrt i suppose.
wish someone would tell gynnos that fibroids dont shrink after menopause these days as their clients have been taking the oh so happy hrt.
i now recall that the food we eat is pumped full of hormones and the water we drink hasn't had the hormone estrogen filtered out.
so the antidote is progesterone.
there must be a sinister reason that we are not all taking progesterone to shrink our fibroids.
is there a natural way of rebuilding our hormone balance?
its difficult to imagine that what we ingest in both food and chemicals causes us this inbalance.
then we have to go under the knife.
its not right is it when you try to keep healthy .
have there been any surveys done to link these factors?
i think not.
the pharmaceutical cmpanies wouldn't like that !

Prior to that doctors couldn;t tell me anything 'cos medical profession don't know much! GP had me on Transexamic acid tablets - awful big things to swallow and took a while to kick in.
V. little research on fibroids (http://www.britishfibroidtrust.org.uk), only that as IndyJane said, fibroids associated with excess estrogen.
After a year of excessive bleeding, I got fed up and stopped taking all tablets (vitamins, iron, transexamic acid) - In hindsight, please DON'T stop prescribed medication without first discussing with GP).
I've been normal weight and otherwise reasonably healthy. I radically changed my diet and the bleeding (between and during periods) reduced substantially and the size of the clots reduced in size.
Cut tea from 10 cups a day to 3 max
No vitamin tablets (cereal, bread etc all fortified with iron and vitamins)
Ate as much iron products as poss - spinach or broccoli every day ( but very hard to maintain on long term) , molasses in cakes, cooking etc.,
Organic food wherever it was available in supermarket and/or affordable.
Organic milk all the time.
Have decided to maintain these changes even though fibroid problem sorted out --body much calmer.
(oh we live near a farm, can't prove connection to pesticides sprayed but occasionally birds drop dead out of the sky onto our drive --- that's not right is it?)
Also little (feminist) moan - no doubt if fibroids were a "man" issue there'd probably be a lot more research about it :-(
Oh well....

if your man got kicked in the testicles, he would suffer a lot of pain.
but we cant imagine what that pain is like.
so why do these male gynnos think they have any idea of what we girls go through.
they cant even imagine what period pains are like.
