How do you treat fibroid tumors?
Fibroids are nothing serious. They do not cancer ( only 1% do, so it's closer to zero). Do not let them take out your uterus... What to do: - Go to your gynecology and request a test. He/She will also order an ultrasound to see the location and size of the fibroid(s). - Also ask him to have your hormones tested ( a blood test) - DO NOT get convince into getting a hysterectomy. The risk of getting cancer is only 1%. The consequences of hysterectomy are huge ( your whole body will be affected and every day more negative effects of not having the uterus are being discovered) - The doctor may offer you drugs that will put you in menopause for 3 months and shrink the fibroid temporary. Then they will do a surgery to remove them or use any other treatment.... think about the consequences and take a smart decision. You can also start doing natural remedies. I know of many women who have cure themselves of fibroids. You need to lower your estrogen and raise the progesterone. Start by buying a progesterone cream ( In amazon they sell Emerita Pro-Gest Natural Progesterone Cream made of Mexican yam) , stop eating dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, all of them) , stop eating meat and reduce chicken. If you can afford eat only organic food. Estrogen are found in almost all processed food so if it comes in a package, try to avoid it. Also avoid food that are in plastic containers ( bottle of water, etc). Do not use plastics in the microwave... You need to take super hot bath for 15 minutes ( the hotter you can stand) in a bath at least 3 times a week before going to sleep. Only your body no the head. Try to relax and get in peace with yourself also... yoga is good. You will see results in months. If you can find a naturopathic doctors is even better.
