health sectionhealth sectionFibroids, which are also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumors that grow in the uterus, outside the uterus or within the actual walls of the uterus. While they may seem very serious, they are actually quite common with few symptoms. If you do experience severe symptoms from fibroids like heavy bleeding, severe pain, or bladder problems, see your physician. For milder symptoms like heavier periods or cramps, an herbal approach to treatment can help.
Fibroid tumors grow in and around the womb of about half of all women of childbearing age. Most are benign and many are small and without symptoms. But for many other women, fibroid tumors can be the source of serious pain. Large tumors can cause heavy, painful bleeding during periods and spotting between periods. They can also cause anemia and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, fibroids continue to increase in size and in the severity of the symptoms they cause.
Fibroids can be painful and can make the menstrual cycle feel unbearable. There are many treatments to remove fibroids from the uterine wall, although they can be quite invasive and unpleasant. Luckily, there are many herbal remedies for fibroids that can work to reduce and eliminate fibroids from your uterus.
