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.
Try Novasure…it appears to be a good remedy. I am considering it for myself.
thanks for sharing your story.
Dr hotze has a good book that combines diet and natural hormances and supplementals :
hormones, Health, and Happiness: A Natural Medical Formula for Rediscovering Youth. in addition suzannne sommers mentions him in her new book called Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness
Check out a book called
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM): Premenopause: Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty (What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About.. It talks about taking progesterone to balance out the estrogen dominance that causes that uterine fibroid.
lOOK AT SHOLAOSLOW’S channel… I was surprised to learn that there are chemicals in practicly all store bought cosmetics, shampoos, lotions,etc. & plastics..Its in about EVERY bath & body works product. They mimmick estrogen & that contributes to fibroids, but there is more.. look her up!
Apple -I so understand. I’ve had two myomectomies to remove fibroids. I am in my late thirties and may be growing them again. I plan to marry and get pregnant soon so will have the kid and remove the fibroids at that point. However, i have kept my issues at bay and am willing to share. Let me know.
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.
u know this is so crazy cause i have resently stop dairy and all meats except turkey and fish just to see if there would be a different in my over all health but i haven’t had my period yet so as for that part i cant comment yet but i have lose some weight and i have not even started exercizing yet
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
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…
How were your symptoms after stopping the meat etc and diary products?
one of my mates wanted to ask a question.she told me that she has a lump inside her virgina. .like deep inside.and just wanted to know what it is?and can it be harmful?and how to get rid of it. and shes onli 16.help her please.
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.
