Uterine fibroids affect many women around the world. Although they are benign in the vast majority of cases, they can cause pain, discomfort, and complications depending on their size and location. Fortunately, there are natural approaches to relieve symptoms and help reduce their growth.

What is a uterine fibroid?

Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that develop in the uterus. They are made of muscle and fibrous tissue. Some women can live with fibroids without ever experiencing any discomfort, while others experience more pronounced symptoms such as:

• Heavy and prolonged periods,
• Pelvic or abdominal pain,
• Bloating,
• Frequent urge to urinate,
• Pain during intercourse.

Why do they appear?

Several factors can promote the appearance of fibroids:

• Hormonal imbalance, especially excess estrogen,
• Genetic predispositions,
• Chronic stress,
• Poor diet or being overweight.

Natural solutions to relieve fibroids

Although some cases require medical or surgical treatment, there are natural alternatives to soothe symptoms and slow the growth of fibroids.

1. Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet

Focus on fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, omega-3s (oily fish, flax seeds) and foods rich in fiber to support the liver and help eliminate excess estrogen.

3. Reduce stress

Stress contributes to hormonal imbalances. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to soothe your body and mind.

4. Support the liver

A healthy liver helps eliminate excess hormones. Herbs like milk thistle and rosemary are ideal for naturally detoxifying the liver.

When should you consult a professional?

While these natural methods can provide relief, it's important to consult a gynecologist if you experience significant pain, abnormal bleeding, or persistent discomfort. Medical monitoring allows you to monitor the progress of fibroids and choose the best approach.
