subject: Permanent Cure For Fibroids [print this page] For some women whose fibroids are so large and severe, the only permanent cure for fibroids is a hysterectomy. Uncontrolled bleeding caused by large, untreated fibroids can become life threatening and at this time, other less radical options, such as the removal of individual fibroids or hormonal treatment are simply not appropriate.
Indeed, even the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology admits that a hysterectomy is the only permanent solution they can offer.
A hysterectomy due to fibroids is usually performed abdominally as due to the size of the abdomen, it cannot usually be removed vaginally. If possible, the ovaries are left intact as if removed, this will cause the menopause. (Even when the ovaries are left, there is still the possibility of an early menopause).
If there is a choice, the cervix should be left intact as removal can sometimes cause sexual dysfunction as well as incontinence.
There are over half a million hysterectomies performed annually to get rid of fibroids. Nearly 50% of these are on women under the age of 40. Apart from the obvious risks associated with major surgery, such as blood loss, infection, blood clots etc, there are other less considered side effects, such as ongoing pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, urinary problems and weight gain. For this reason, although a hysterectomy is a permanent cure for fibroids, it should not be performed unless absolutely necessary.
If your fibroids are not life threatening and you have a choice in the matter, it makes complete sense to consider your options carefully first before undertaking such major surgery. There are other less invasive procedures, such as embolism and myectomy, but neither of these are considered a permanent cure for fibroids.
Before resorting to surgery of any kind, you may wish to consider trying a natural cure for fibroids. By eliminating all of the known causes of fibroids, it is entirely possible to shrink fibroids completely.
Written by a former fibroid sufferer, the system you are about to see is, quite simply, groundbreaking, and I am confident that you will feel relief that you have finally found something that will genuinely help you get rid of your fibroids.
