 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

What are uterine fibroids? Uterine fibroids are lumps that grow on your uterus. You can have fibroids on the inside, on the outside, or in the wall of your uterus. Your doctor may call them fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas. But fibroids are not cancer. You do not need to do anything about them unless they are causing problems. Fibroids are very common in women in their 30s and 40s. By the time they are 50, about 80 women out of 100 have fibroids. But fibroids usually do not cause …

    You should have an ultrasound done. Last time I checked, an ultrasound test was about $200. When they ask you about insurance, ask them how much the ultrasound test would cost and then say you are paying with cash. Once you say the word medicaid they will try to send you home without doing anything.

    It definitely starts with changing ur diet, Black Women STOP DRINKING THE LIQUOR!!! A lot of people don’t know this but a bad liver is associated with uterine fibroids. Drink herbal teas such as Milk Thistle. STOP EATING PORK AND BEEF!!! Most meats are bad but those two are really. STOP EATING CANDY, INCLUDING CHOCOLATE, as well as, any other sugarS and starches, this also heavily effects the blood sugar which promotes estrogen and brings the fibroids.

    I was diagnosed with fibroids in July 2006. I noticed that whenever I worked out I would get cramps that felt like labor pains. At first? and I know this sounds silly but I thought I was having sympathy labor pains cause my daughter was close to her due date then. I was taken into the emergency room they did an ultra sound and found that my fibroid is inside the uterine wall and was the size of a five month fetus. I have not had surgery yet. I decided to change my diet and stop all meat…

    I can say that I used to drink a beer every night and noticed that when I did I would cramp more and more. So I quit. My tummy is rather large but notice an increase in size when I drink alcohol or any kind of dairy or chicken. So, I stopped eating dairy products, except shredded cheese. I eat mainly soy products in place of milk products and its not so bad. I really beleive meat affects women’s uterines more than any other food. Anything not natural should not be eaten.

    Thank you so much, I was wondering why I was feeling the way that you described. I’m going to get checked out.

    Its possible that being overwieght can contribute. It can cause extra estrogen to build up and fibroids grow from the effects of estrogen.

    Hello there thank you very much for your video. Just to let you know that I became a vegetarian for 3 weeks coming up to my period. The last day of my period and the about 3 days after i would only eat fresh red meat or chicken etc. I am now able to control how heavy my periods are and can go to work during my periods.

  14. YourDailyApple says:

  15. AletheaPorteza says:

    hi Apple- I wish you all the best, good luck with all this!! My period didnt start to become lighter until 2 months. i would give it 3 months to see a difference. I dont eat any meat only fish for the three/two weeks before and during my period. I dont think my fibroids have decreased in size though, I have only lighter periods now and its more manageable. Good luck with everything and keep us up to date with how it is going xxx

  16. AletheaPorteza says:

    I agree!! I started being a vegetarian for the 3 weeks a month before and during my period. On the last day of my period and for about 3 days after I would then eat fresh red meat and chicken. It took about two months, then my periods started become much lighter, I can now go to work without having to take a couple of days off every month. Actually come to think of it, i have less headaches too…

  19. CruelestTube says:

    so fibroids practice discrimination against blacks? and you are being discriminated against by your gynecologist? what the f*ck? get some good health insurance and get ‘em taken out. they are not cancer, they are more common than not having fibroids, they are benign. furthermore, the majority of women see their gynecologist once a year, unless something comes up. why would you want to see them every three months? get busy on the path to employment so you can get the insurance you want.
