The one question a traditional doctor cannot answer is "why do I have fibroids?" though thankfully there are an increasing number of more progressive doctors who are becoming aware of techniques that can help answer that question.
The trouble is; that getting to the answer involves the one thing most doctors cannot give you - time.
Those who are familiar with the mind body link will not be surprised to know that fibroids are strongly associated with some specific traumas that affect women in a unique way. When the history of a woman with fibroids is examined, it is common to find at least one and often more than one of these traumas lurking in her past.
Whilst there are a number of dietary and lifestyle changes that can help shrink fibroids, the key to getting rid of your fibroids forever is dealing with the underlying cause, tackling and resolving the emotional issues and trauma from the past.
Current medical treatments for fibroids involve dealing with or relieving the symptoms. Unfortunately that can never cure fibroids because the underlying cause can still be there and sadly the final medical solution is often surgical removal or even a hysterectomy.
Cutting out parts of our body is rarely an effective solution as it provides just another thing that our body has to heal from.
Now I realize that most people would rather pull their own teeth than tackle those issues that are lying buried deep in their psyche. People often prefer to hand over responsibility for their healing to strangers rather than deal with or look for a more holistic solution. Even though mind body medicine has become increasingly mainstream many people simply do not know or cannot see that there is an established connection between our psychology and our biology. Often the location of the condition is a key indicator of the nature of the cause.
Once the process is started it gets easier and easier. It helps to have guidance or a friend to help you go through the process with you. The extra bonus is that not only can your fibroids be cured but many other aspects of your life get healed bringing a new sense of joy and optimism to life.
Many women with fibroids go undiagnosed simply because they are not suffering any painful side effects like heavy periods, lower tummy pain and bladder problems. If you have them, one possible side effect you will not have missed is the fact that your stomach seems to have got much larger whilst the rest of your body has remained relatively slim. Friends sometimes look and ask tentatively if you are "expecting". If this is true for you then go and see your doctor and get a proper diagnosis.
Fibroids are benign growths in or outside the uterus, they can be the size of a pea or a basket ball and some are flat like a plate or even pedunculated (on a stalk). Generally the symptoms you get depend on where in the womb the fibroids are located and their size. Some women become aware of them after seeking medical advice over difficulty in conceiving and discover that there is a fibroid pressing against or blocking the entrance to the fallopian tubes.
If you are diagnosed with fibroids and are fed up with your stomach sticking out and the discomfort, or are seriously concerned about the effects on your fertility then you need to know that you don't have to resort to surgery to fix it. Whilst solutions offered by traditional medicine often involve surgery or drugs, it is important to know that there are other natural options available. This becomes even more important if you are being advised to have a hysterectomy, especially as a young woman who may wish to have a family.
The secret to healing your fibroids lies in getting to the root cause and it is not a difficult process. This combined with making simple adjustments to your diet can shrink and in some cases cure your fibroids completely naturally. Many others have done so.
So if you have been diagnosed with fibroids do not panic. Know that by getting to the underlying causes you set yourself on the path to natural healing. Make the decision now to take charge of your healing.
"Wait and See" is not an option, each day that passes is another day gone when your body could be healing.
