subject: How Do I Cure Ovarian Fibroids? [print this page] Many women have ovarian fibroids but are not aware of the problem because there are very few symptoms and in most case they disappear quite quickly. Fibroids are tumours or abnormal growths can can attach themselves to the outside of the ovaries or even grow within the uterus. It is when these tumours grow large that they can cause severe pain because they put a lot of pressure onto the organ on which they have attached themselves, but help is at hand in the form of natural treatments that can help cure ovarian fibroids.
Fortunately most ovarian fibroids are non cancerous and many will not cause any pain, but a large fibroid can cause a lot of pain and other symptoms such as heavy bleeding, irregular periods, pelvic pain, and a dull throbbing pain at the top of the legs. Doctors are not certain what causes these fibroids to develop but whilst it can be genetic there are also theories that they are caused by hormonal imbalances.
Whilst a sit back and wait approach is usually adopted by most doctors, women still need help with managing any pain they are experiencing and there are different lifestyle changes that can be put into place that seem to be effective as a cure for ovarian fibroids.
A change in diet is one of the most effective ways to counter attack ovarian fibroids, since eating foods that are high in fibre and low in sugar can, within a relatively short period of time, help to alleviate pressure on the abdomen and pelvic area and also lower the blood sugar level, which can play havoc with hormones and completely wreck a woman's menstrual cycle. Such foods as fresh fruit and vegetables, brown rice, seeds and oats are all useful foods that will help keep other food matter moving throughout the body and drinking plenty of water will also help flush any toxins out. Natural herbs can also help the symptoms of an ovarian fibroid and drinking herbal teas in place of caffeine will help sooth and calm any inflamed areas.
Most women are led to believe that medication and surgery are the only options to remove and cure ovarian fibroids that have grown large and are casing pain, but believe me when I say that natural or holistic methods are much more effective since they deal with the root source of the problem and do not present any costly, or risky procedures.
