the lady is correct. this needs to be researched more. it affects 80% of women and while there are more options for removal, we need to firgure out what causes it.
Absolutely 💯 I'm concerned about my daughter since this was mentioned to me that my mother had one & now I am going through this process now. Education & research to find out why this is happening to so many black women
I bet it has to do with birth control.
@@datgirlsaintsational831it doesn’t have to do with birth control, i never took anything for that and i do have a big fibroid in my uterus 😢
@@datgirlsaintsational831not necessarily. I have never been on birth control but recently had a fibroid removed and still recovering.
Cause it effect blacks women more there no concern for racism
After all these years I thought that it was only me that suffered like this. Monthly bloating, debilitating cramps, heavy flows that would cause embarrassing leaks through my clothes. Thank you for bringing this to light so that those don’t have to suffer alone.
You could also have endometriosis??
My girlfriend have this and trust me,it is not a nice feeling for her,she lost two sons and have two girls
She worries alot
Me too my god
I just had surgery 1/8/24,my fibroid was size of grapefruit,I was bugging out due to weight gain&pain in my stomach,gyn recommended sonogram &realize size&said do surgery asap,God is good
Those leak accidents are no joke!!! I had one recently with one of those heavy duty over night pads. It's mind boggling how we can lose that much blood.
Yes😮😮😮
It's so annoying, happened to me 2 mths straight
… Please check your Iron levels as this can cause severe Iron deficiencies …
@@MoonlitPurpleRosetrue.. I got 8hb in a month from 10hb
towards the end of June I went to the hospital feeling nauseous . I thought I had a stomach virus. I was so weak feeling. after a few test, they told me my hemoglobin was super low, like 3.2. then they slipped up later and said 2. I pretty much was a walking dead trying to function. I had to get 4 packs of blood and 2 liters of iron.
The wild thing...
HER story is MY LIFE.
Blessings to her and all of us who are/have dealt with these fibroids.
Yes Amen✨️
Ok, so during my menstrual life, I had endometriosis, cysts, and fibroids. I suffered monthly from my very first period, and up until menopause. As I got older doctors kept pushing me to have a hysterectomy. My firm response was always "NO!" I was convinced that unless I had cancer, that wasn't the answer. And come to find out, it wasn't. Lazy doctor's do the easy thing. Great one's work hard to save our organs and keep us comfortable. A doctor in California told me this. He said that while symptoms from my issues were messy and painful, they could be controlled until menopause, at which time ALL of the conditions would be cured due to the drop in estrogen, which feeds them. He added the ONLY reason a hysterectomy was necessary, was for cancer. That the bleeding would not kill me. All could be treated and controlled. Sure enough, one year after going into menopause, tests were normal, everything was gone. And at 68 my parts are all there. I'm so thankful for that wonderful doctor, and my persistence in saying "NO!" He also said if a woman doesn't have cancer but still wants a hysterectomy, he advises her to go elsewhere.
Thank You for sharing your story I am going through this now the doctors keep saying your 59 have a hysterectomy . My answer is is NO! I have no symptoms . No cancer.
Thank you. I had my second myomectomy abt 3 weeks ago but before that, I did a lot of labs including Pap smear and the doctor told me he could see traces of cancer in the womb so he advised me to take the whole womb out but I told him no because I dnt have any child so how could I do that. So he recommended a second lab called DNA TYPING and it came out negative. Some of these doctors can send u to your grave. It’s always good to have a second opinion. Now that the womb is free, I will still do some labs in the womb to be completely sure everything is ok.
Yeahup, I was told to have a hysterectomy a few months ago as the *ONLY* solution and I told her absolutely not! She got offended and I told her she's not going to make money off of taking my womanhood and she got even more offended.
They make money tearing us apart.
Thankyou for this
Each day that passes by I believe less and less in doctors.
So far from what I’ve learned about fibroids, it’s caused by estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance is possibly a response to lowered levels of progesterone. Low progesterone can be caused by too much cortisol, a hormone secreted during times of stress. So this may contribute to the high incidence of fibroids. It’s kind of weird that Dr. Oz didn’t mention this. Also, meat and dairy consumption, as well as vitamin D deficiency, have been linked to fibroids.
Low carb diets or keto is also recommended to kill or shrink the fibroids. He also didn’t mention this probably bc doctors are only interested in giving you surgery and feeding you pills since that’s where the $$$ is at
Yeah your right thats ehy i stopped red meat 🥩 and i eat it once a week and cheese I noticed my fibroid got so big and i jist payed attention to my body what i eat causing it to get worse
Estrogen dominance caused me to get breast cancer I just had a mastectomy 😢 it also causes ovarian cancer
Interesting , thank you for sharing
With all the stress I went through during COVID I’m not surprised that excess cortisol caused mine
I shrunk my 11cm fibroid, went through menopause without intervention and no hysterectomy. I’ll be doing a video on my experience soon.
Can you explain how you did it or provide contact information?
How? Please reply.
Hi guys, I instantly switched to intermittent fasting and set this daily routine without fail,
Green tea-first thing in the morning in a empty stomach
2 boiled eggs-before midday
Green tea again, No snacks or meals for 6 hours, if I got peckish I’d have a fruit or dry nuts
A light healthy meal at 18:00-lentils, chicken, vegetables, red meat and greens
Green tea again and then Nothing to eat after that till morning.
I kept this going for two months and my stomach went right down, you’ll notice the reduction within a week.
@@Shay3356 were you drinking the green tea or taking ECGC pills?
@@Violets14 green tea
I had a hysterectomy 4 weeks ago due to fibroidd and endometreosis. I was done having children so a hysterectomy was the best decision I made!! Recovery is tough and I am still recovering
Please tell me about your over all feeling after surgery please share because I m suffering of febriods I am looking for answers 🙏😢
I was in labor with my daughter for 14 hours! I was home with her that night! I always rebounded quickly from surgeries etc….
I was 39 when I had my hysterectomy. It knocked me on my azz! When they tell you to rest and not lift, don’t! I am not good at following doctors orders after surgeries. A hysterectomy, you have to!
💜
If u don't mind sharing, tough in what way for other ladies who's deciding if to have this procedure or not
Hi did you feel some side of the stomach with fullness and sensitive?I was diagnosed with fibroids but not sure if is also endometriosis
@@nooringill6344 got a hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. And they didn’t open me up and it was just 3 little incisions. The surgery lasted a couple of hours and went home that day with no pain, just soreness. My co worker was in pain cause they opened her up but not me. I was relieved cause I was scared too. I actually went back to my warehouse job in 2 weeks❤
Pain during sex should be on that list too. That's how I found out about mine.
Right
Yess
Lord I dread having sex at this point. The after effects last weeks for me!
I have once febriods removed and it’s two years it’s come back I m so much enemic loosing my energy I think I have to go through surgery again kindly pray 🙏 for me 😢
In Jesus name you will be ok
Sending you peace blessing 🙏🏽🫶🏽
❤🙏🏼
By His stripes you are healed I call upon the best healing intervention directed by the lord to you . Amen
I suffered from fibroids and endometriosis for years. Of course the doctor recommended hysterectomy. Thankfully I listened to my gut instinct and kept researching. I ended up doing Uterine Fibroid Embolization through my wrist. As they say, it is “minimally invasive” and has a quick recovery. I don’t think my fibroids are entirely gone but I’ve had a few excellent years of no pain and no bloating or heavy bleeding. It has been amazing! I may have to do it again before menopause but I’m glad I have options. Ladies, do your research. You don’t have to go under the knife there are other options.
Hi, I'm considering the same procedure you had done. I'm 45. How old were you when you did that procedure?
I've done a lot of research for years now and hysterectomy will never be an option for me unless my life is at risk. But I'm scared about the embolization and to know they went through your wrist is fascinating.
@@ntitus3025 I was almost 41 when they did the procedure and it has been about 2.5 years now. Not all providers can do through the wrist, some can only do the groin. I traveled to Saint Louis University Medical Center to have my procedure done as I live in a very rural area in the west and no good medical options. I was pretty good to go within just a few days but I booked a week at a local hotel just in case I ended up having any complications. Thankfully I did not. I was very functional within a few days but there is pain as the fibroids lose blood flow and die so I would recommend taking the suggested time away from stress/work if you can. I was gone a little over a week but I think the recommended two week recovery would have been better for me. Also amazing the small incision they do on your wrist. I can’t even see it now, no scarring and super small. I know this isn’t for everyone and people need to advocate for themselves because it is still health care and providers and staff can get it wrong. But in my experience it was good and minimally invasive. I do not think they are entirely gone as I think some may have grown back or were missed but I have had so much more energy, much easier periods, less pain all around, less bloating. It has been a miracle for me and I would consider doing it again in a few years if I need to do it again. I’m hopeful that my fibroids will never return to how bad they were before. I would fall down in debilitating pain. They are terrible! Best of luck to you.
They can also do an UAE through your groan area
UFE did nothing for me at all. With the UFE it’s supposed to cut off the blood supply but they don’t disappear. They are still there.
I’m glad you were able to get some relief.
But after that procedure can you have babies
Important to note that not all fibroids protrude and stick out like this lady’s.
Fibroids (like the intramural types) can also grow inside the uterine walls and inside the womb, causing pain and heavy bleeding but no large lumps sitting directly under the skin that stick out. Just because you don’t see lumps doesn’t mean that you don’t have any fibroids! You can have a flat tummy and still have large fibroids.
Yes very true. Many women don’t even know they have fibroids unless they start having symptoms and their doctor runs tests
I have a fibroid and my stomach is flat. Some days I feel and look a bit bloated.
We women are really unlucky that in this modern world, Medical science has developed a lot but not in fibroid treatment because doctors cannot remove or shrink or reduce fibroid from uterus by using medicine at all. Doctors are failed in treating fibroid by using medicine. Why women need to get an abdominal myomectomy in uterus to remove fibroid rather it could be removed by applying vaccination or medicine on this deadly disease in women. It is known that about 80% women in the world have fibroid in their uterus. Although vaccination for cancer of uterus has been discovered but not for fibroid at all. It is a shame for all the gynecologists and scientists on women diseases especially for fibroids.
Now, all the doctors in the world and medical scientists are requested that please discover a vaccine or medicine for fibroid in uterus so that lots of women can get rid of having a big scar on their abdomen for fibroid operation.
Please share it with all of the people and doctors in the world so that vaccine or medicine can be discovered very quickly which can help reduce operation for fibroid treatment.

Very true
At 67, just had an abdominal hysterectomy where there were 20 fibroids, ranging in size from a small pea to the largest being the size of an orange. I am doing just fine. This surgery was 7/21/2023. If you need it, get it. Don't listen to all of the scary stories, you will do fine. I've got pictures too.🙏
Bonnie, how did you manage the pain after surgery? How long was your recovery?
@@rosemarynelson4341 Hey Rose, I am sorry I didn't respond sooner, I forgot. Was in hospital for 3 days. Day 1, pain was managed with a pain pump containing morphine. Day 2 and 3, Ibuprofen. Pain wasn't bad at all. The whole experience wasn't bad at all. At this writing (January 7, 2024) I am doing wonderful. Have a Blessed New Year. Hope you feel better and better as the days go by.
Hi. I'm 64 and have a deformed looking left abdomen. About 4-6 inches larger than rgt abdomen.
Have appt this week. Could this be fibroids?
@@mbl36 You'll do fine. Probably those pesty fibroids. GOD Bless You, and we will hope for the best.🙏❤️🙏
@@bonniepeele1504 Ty 😊 🙏🏻
I have fibroids but I was told that it is outside of my uterus. My periods have become shorter. I have all the other symptoms though. My doctor told me that I don’t have to get them taken out because of my period not being heavy. I was also told that my hormones have changed which has caused the change in my cycle. All this stuff that happens to us women is so confusing. I am so happy that this is a subject that is being spoken about more.
I’m kind of similar to you, my periods are starting to become irregular. I don’t have the heavy bleeding but I do have the lower back pain and leg pain.
My period begin shorter outside of my uterus, I don t have the lower back pain and leg pain for the last month was in September 2023 and in october November December januari februari no cycles I m so worry my doctor is older she did n t send me too a hospitaal to check a schan of my belly.
Wow you sound like my story my pains and period of shortened and i have not gotten surgery just managing
I was also told it was nothing to worry about at first, but 10 yrs later I'm suffering and now they saying surgery. If I knew better (that most doctors only know about medicine and symptoms, not nutrition and healthy lifestyle) I would have addressed it then. Check out Dr. Bobby Price and Coach Gessie. They teach about the cause AND cure. There are quite a few causes such as meat, dairy, low vitamin D, stress, high estrogen, processed foods, and the lack of live healthy foods such as dark leafy veggies, fruits, grains, etc.
They need to learn the real cause. This can’t be normal.
It mostly affects colored/black women so they don't care as much....at least not enough to find the root cause.
@@noire9601 Wow, what a mean comment. Terrible assumption to have about a whole group of people. smh
@@noire9601 What a stupid thing to say!!
@@noire9601actually many white women too so that belief has be proven wrong
Check out Dr. Bobby Price and Coach Gessie. There are quite a few causes such as meat, dairy, low vitamin D, stress, high estrogen, processed foods, and the lack of live healthy foods such as dark leafy veggies, fruits, grains, etc.
I actually tested up listening to her talk about the having bloody accidents because it’s true. We don’t tell each other as women enough that it’s okay, don’t be embarrassed, it’s not your fault that your body is doing this to you. We don’t as women make the world safe for our fellow women.
Thank you for sharing our story!! I say our because I have the same exact story. First open myomectomy at 27, 2nd at 33, and 3rd last week at 41. I have no kids and that’s why my doctor continues to advocate for me to do these surgeries but it’s been such a battle. The recovery is quite difficult but it’s worth it to ensure you have options. I pray for all the women suffering in silence and want everyone to know they are not alone! There really needs to be a foundation dedicated to this research.
Thanks for sharing.. I also had an open myomectomy at 32 years old. Unfortunately the fibroids came back so now I'm preparing to have a Uterine embolization next week.
@@latoshadillard1046 Prayers for you sister 🙏🏾
Same here 😢
Same hier I m 40 years Suffering my period Uterine is gone for 3 months I don t no what I have feeling not good my belly is fat call my doctor monday again.😢
I am so sorry to hear they came back😢 I am 31 contemplating a myomectomy. That's what they're recommending. My uterus is the size of a 4month pretty woman. I want to work on them in the most natural way possible. Surgery scares me but I want my body back😢
I had the procedure done. Before the procedure, the symptoms were harsh. Mentally. Emotionally and physical draining. Females should definitely follow-up with there OBGYN, selfcare and listen to your body. ❤
Same here
Just had UFE/UAE yesterday
Thank goodness there finally talking about fibroid tumors. I got diagnosed with this at the end of last year. Most painful and scary experience of my life. I ended up lossing 50lb in 3 months because the pain was so bad and they found endometriosis. I could feel the tumors growing in me. I finally had my open myomectomy surgery and so happy there out! if they do comeback I will get a hysterectomy. I never wanted to in that much pain again. I found 7 of them and 3 where the size of grapefruits.
So sorry to hear about your pain
Research uterine fibroid embolization

r you free from fibroid

She just described my whole life in this clip. I had surgery in August and 2 days ago I went to the doctor only to hear that they were back. All I keep hearing is hysterectomy!!! That shouldn’t be the “best” option.
Your fibroid regrow
I got fibroids and I bled so much, that I became anemic 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Same mildly anemic
I m praying for you sis.🙏🏽💖✝️
Me too I’m Anemic too
Me too
Tommorow I m gonna, to my doctor no bleed my period is gone and check my blood.
Ì am surprised you didn't discuss Uterine Fibroid Embolization, a procedure that has been used for over 25 years. This is a much less invasive procedure. I did this for my fibroid. It took 3 weeks to recuperare and I am feeling better now.
They can still grow back if you don’t manage the root cause
I have seen this comment a few times. UFE fixed nothing for me.
Currently battling Fibroids and nobody really talks about the horrible constipation even “when eating right.. The doctor really not caring too much because it’s considered non emergency.. Suffered 3 miscarriages, we need more research done.
how can I say thank you *Dr Kosun* for curing me of my disease and making me whole again.i promise to tell the world about your super herbs that cured me
Right! I had similar experiences with doctors. Check out Dr. Bobby Price and Coach Gessie. There are quite a few causes such as meat, dairy, low vitamin D, stress, high estrogen, processed foods, and the lack of live healthy foods such as dark leafy veggies, fruits, grains, etc.
Diet diet diet. I’ve seen videos of remedies that shrink and get rid of them. Doctors have a business to run. If your married n you and your partner ready for children than do the natural remedies. They said 80% of bw have them. Myself included. Currently pregnant. But she didn’t mention 80% never marry. To me that’s a bigger issue within the community
Can some people please quit assuming birth control causes fibroids! I have not been on them and I have plenty. It’s GENETIC in my case. If you don’t suffer from them, quit the assumptions and theories. If you see a woman with protruding lower abdomen, don’t proceed to body shame. It’s not a dietary issue, it’s a hormonal belly most likely due to cysts and fibroids causing that symptom. I’m currently exploring my options on having them removed. It’s a debilitating problem
Check out Dr. Bobby Price and Coach Gessie on RUclips they have helped many women understand how fibroids are developed and how to get rid of them, including myself. Unfortunately, it can be birth control (the hormones in it) and even meat, dairy, low vitamin D, stress, processed foods along with the lack of live healthy foods such as dark leafy veggies, fruits, grains, etc.
Birth control makes them worse . They are endocrine distributors. Gene mutations play a huge role in
Right . I’m 28 and never used birth control and just found out I have fibroids . My mothers side of the family dealt with it so it’s definitely genetic
@ashleyebonee2386 i ended up getting a robotic laparoscopic myomectomy in May 2024, which removed all the fibroids throughout my uterus. Explore if it’s a solution for you.
I have Endometriosis, just turned 50. Experienced extremely heavy periods the past 6 months. Had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago, the day after i got Covid. I felt dreadful, i ended up in the Emergency department several days ago and the blood loss was extreme. I have 3 fibroids and a polyp. Im blessed to see a Gynaecologist this week. Its tough stuff, stay strong everyone ❤
Do you have painful periods ? Every month I aveces the worst pain during my period and when I urinate it hurts they’ve done test and I don’t have an infection but this only happens when it’s that time of the month and once it’s gone the pain is also gone .
@@poplinalmayou may possibly want to ask for an ultrasound. The ultrasound will give more insight into what you are experiencing inside. A vaginal ultrasound and belly ultrasound.
I'm having the polyp removed next week & a d&c, my periods are still heavy & painful, along with constipation. Hopefully it may help.....
I wonder if covid vaxes and covid itself brought them on
Also changes in food production like highly processed foods. I’m not saying any of our grandmas/great grandmas never had it but it just most likely was not as common like it is now. I believe I had it since I started my period when I was 13 I had all the symptoms and my parents raised me as a vegetarian and hardly ever gave us fast food maybe once a year lol so that should tell you how much food as become dangerously processed even for vegetarians/vegans. I started making my own food at home and became cautious of the foods I buy, I also start using herbs and taking certain vitamins, My fibroids shrink from 10cm to currently 3cm
What herbs and vitamins do you use?
@@tamequatolliver1174 turmeric, oregano, cloves, garlic, black pepper, ginger, it’s not an herb but MCT oil works great in conjunction with these, I also take liquid form black seed oil. B complex vitamins, D3, vitamin C, high potency iron, magnesium and high absorption zinc
Yes, kindly share what herbs and vitamins.
Thank you
Hi, thank you for your information. I really appreciate it, hearing about how women shrunk the fibroids in their uterus, I wanted to take some tea, treatment,do you mind sharing what type of tea treatment, helped you! Many thanks beforehand!❤

I have been diagnosed with fibroids, and similar to the lady in this video, I was offered a hysterectomy because I’m in my 40s. I just don’t care for the thought of losing body parts. The only way that I’m willing to do that is if they are cancerous. Otherwise, I don’t want to have unnecessary surgeries, especially if they have the potential of coming back. Once I received my diagnosis two years ago, I ended up visiting a nutritionist and she told me to cut out chicken. I have not had chicken in over two years. I also changed my deodorant to a natural kind. I went plant-based and started juicing as well. My last piece of the puzzle is to start exercising. My stomach has started to go down slightly. I will have to have an ultrasound to check the size of the fibroids. I will say that at one point when I would lay flat on stomach, I could feel them. Now that I’ve changed my products and diet I can lay on my stomach and I don’t feel them as much as once did. So that is definitely some progress. I’m thinking because fibroids can return, making a lifestyle change could definitely be of benefit. I did see in the comment section that hair and body products could be leading to the absorption of toxins in the body also contributing to fibroid growth. I am definitely more conscious about hair products that I purchase. No longer purchasing them from a beauty supply store but when I attend black events, I look for women that make their own handmade Shea butter, and I use that in place of mass produced hair products. I’m definitely, not using any more relaxers either. It’s been years since I have had a relaxer, but I can imagine it’s impact on the body as well. One big one for me was caffeine and sodas. I completely cut sodas out about four months ago and I only drink fresh juices and water. This has definitely helped. I have gone from a 10 day period to a five day. And also cutting and reducing stress can definitely help.
I m praying for you sister.
Sister you mean baking sodas for too cook ?
I am in my 40 years, old and my period stopped so I m juist going too the doctor what s wrong with me she give me pills want I m want too the get to a hospitaal for what it is I drink green tea viamine K2 D3 C was my period is stopped in October for 3 months lot of stress its now februari I m confused.
Mine has stopped too. It is probably menopause, but just before. If it stops for 12 months then they say it's full menopause, but please check with your doctor. @@DanielleO-oq6mx
Thank you 🙏 this is def my life
I'm 44 years old. I have fibroids. I have never in my entire life taken any kind of birth controls. I have had severe menstral pains every month. I discovered I have fibroids and a cyst at age 29 when I got pregnant . This cause me to have premarture labor at 33 weeks and stress also contributed to my premature labor. Thank God I had a healthy baby girl via C section weighing 3 pounds 17 ounces. When my water broke. No pain, thought it was pee, called my doctor and I had to be admitted for labor. When I deliver about 3 or 4 fibroids were taking out. Disgusting looking. The fibroids grew up as big as the baby. I still have about 4 but they have shrunk into grape sizes. They grew bigger when your hormones are raging
Hi there …. You are probably consuming lots of dairy, gluten and sugar cut it out give it a try for at least 6 months and go check with your doctor again ….ahhhh exercise is a must ( nothing crazy )
Read my earlier post: treatment controls everything, menopause cures them. My entire menstrual life I had endometriosis, cysts, and fibroids. One year after being in menopause, ALL were gone, cured. Hormones feed them. Menopause starves them. DO NOT agree to a hysterectomy. Lazy doctors cut. Dedicated ones treat and wait for nature to take its course.
@@_betsylicious That's New Age ridiculous. Endometriosis, cysts and fibroids are hormone fed. Menopause starves and cures. Until then, medical intervention is crucial. And unless there's cancer, hysterectomy is NOT the solution. This is exactly what happened to me. By the way, eliminating those things from my diet made no difference. Treatment and menopause did.
Do you perm your hair? That causes it as well. They have a lawsuit against chemical processors
How do you shrink them?
I had a hysterectomy bc i could not take it anymore...i lost my twin daughters bc of fibroids and I almost lost my son. Water broke @ 23 weeks but by the grace of God...my son was born @ 28 weeks. He was in the NICU 2 months...i thank God my OB Gyn she knew robotics...so my hysterectomy was 4 finger size incisions on the belly and pulled the uterus out vaginally. No cuts. Insurance paid in full. It was the best decision...i was 33 yo and i didn't want anymore kids. My son is now 12 yo. I still think about my identical twin girls...they would be 13 yo now.
Wow. I’m so sorry to hear this
I have pcos & fibroids.. and I've also noticed the past year or so that my belly has gotten bigger thinking it was a covid belly too. I have recently gotten rid of all toxic make-up, products and toilet paper. Now wearing organic cotton clothing instead of synthetic materials. Women are exposed to tons of chemicals every day and we wonder why we all have these mysterious cysts and fibroids.
It’s also genetic mutations . The ability to detox estrogen. Which is why some women get them and some don’t . Agree as well all hormone disturbing chemicals need to be taken out of all of our products.
A couple of months ago, I just could not take it anymore, I had heavy period pain for the whole month between my period, my periods were really heavy... I went to the doc, did ultrasound... If I recall I think I have tiny fibroids... But my doc did not know what to do to fix this issue. She suggested the pill but nope thanks. I came across the conference of a doc who talked about some of his clients and in the end suggested then to stop all dairies and meat ( full of hormones and growth hormones) I stopped and guess what?! My next period were wayyy less, the pain was gone... So before started medications.... Start removing those from your diet and see if it changes everything. Of course we are all different so check with your doc. I wish you all the same results as mine 🥰
Let’s have the conversation that birth control is one of the factors that cause fibroids to ! It’s stem from hormone imbalance.
YES after staying on birth control because of heavy bleeding at 50 I’m told-“its a round robin “ birth control pills FEED fibroids. I went off pills period slowed down within 3 months felt great!
YES after staying on birth control because of heavy bleeding at 50 I’m told-“its a round robin “ birth control pills FEED fibroids. I went off pills period slowed down within 3 months felt great!
So true !
No. I do not think so, I have never take any birth control and I am suffering with this problem.
No, that is not correct.
Consultant wanted me to have hysterectomy and I said no . Even my womb was covered in fribriods. It was like an intuitive feeling to stop eating red meat . I stopped and everything disappeared. Not one fibroid was in my body .
Hope this might help someone that maybe red meat is feeding their fribriods.
Everyone different but ive not touched red meat every since .
I eat chicken but no red meat
Hmm, that's interesting because for years I heard chicken was the culprit more than meat due to the mucus content in the chicken(mostly found in chicken that is not organic).
I was also a vegetarian for 10 years and still suffered with pms. But soy was the culprit I found out, which I have cut out.
I'm now drinking herbs and green tea that specifically shrinks fibroids. It's only been 2 months and I see some changes in pain and flow. I have other things I want to consistently do, but I don't want to be overzealous. Like you said, *"everyone is different"* & I'm trying to nail down what truly works for me so maybe one day I can share it and hopefully it can help others.
I wish you divine health 🙏🏽
Red ♥️ meat 🍖 u mean rare cooked
I haven't eaten red meat since 2018 after the surgery but the have grown back. I'm angry and sad.
@@elizabethayanda4266ok more diet changes are necessary
Ladies start a healthy plant based diet eat organic as much as you can no meat dairy soy processed foods and no alcohol or smoking try that for a few months before considering ANY especially a hysterectomy (then you may have a whole bunch of other problems) ..the problem with other procedures is the fibroids may come back ..& drink water & organic raspberry and ginger tea
Just eat good meat and fruit, raw milk and cheeses, Veggies have defense chemicals. Keep all food real
🙏❤️
I to have fabroid and my diet and shrink alot
I just turned 40 last month and had fibroids for 4 years….well at least that’s when I found it. I had a myomectomy 3 years ago, and found out they came back after only 8months. Keep in mind that I’ve been a vegetarian for 6 years, drink lemon or lime water daily. Currently trying to conceive. Prayers and blessings to everyone!!!
@liyah277 exactly! People keep telling me that I should change my diet and try all these natural remedies. Mind you, I’ve had three surgeries, so I’m certainly not opposed to it, but the thing is, I don’t have a horrible diet. I’m not saying that I am a health nut, but I cook most of my food, and really eat a balanced diet. There Has to be something else that’s doing this to us. My Goal is to make sure I eat as organic as possible and to cut back or eliminate red meat all together, but based on your comments as a vegetarian, that may not even be the issue. It’s just so frustrating.
I was 18 years old when i gave birth to my daughter i hemorraged right after she was delivered i ended up in icu needed blood transfusions etc. Thank god through a balloon procedure they were able to stop the bleeding. They told my mom if not my uterus would have to be removed. When i woke in icu they told me the cause of everything were the fibroids on my uterus that i had no idea i had. I was so young had no idea what it was and i didnt think my first child birth would be life threatening as it was. Ladies please get checked on a regular basis.
We women are really unlucky that in this modern world, Medical science has developed a lot but not in fibroid treatment because doctors cannot remove or shrink or reduce fibroid from uterus by using medicine at all. Doctors are failed in treating fibroid by using medicine. Why women need to get an abdominal myomectomy in uterus to remove fibroid rather it could be removed by applying vaccination or medicine on this deadly disease in women. It is known that about 80% women in the world have fibroid in their uterus. Although vaccination for cancer of uterus has been discovered but not for fibroid at all. It is a shame for all the gynecologists and scientists on women diseases especially for fibroids.
Now, all the doctors in the world and medical scientists are requested that please discover a vaccine or medicine for fibroid in uterus so that lots of women can get rid of having a big scar on their abdomen for fibroid operation.
Please share it with all of the people and doctors in the world so that vaccine or medicine can be discovered very quickly which can help reduce operation for fibroid treatment.
Thank you for sharing
More needs to be done about these types of conditions that women deal with. The government can support wars ect..what about free health care for everyone ect..its really disgusting how many issues are overlooked!!!!
My dear in my country there is no such thing The government does not care so you get such disease the bills are on you am with you if what you mentioned could come true atelst a lot of woman could open up but remember this surgery a costly I went once but still looking for money to go for onther treatment my God answer us
Medicaid is government healthcare. This may be eugenics. Not everyone meant to procreate. This lady was 35 think if she want kids or not when she should have been tried for children. If she even has a mate.
I have fibroids as well. All the women in my immediate family had hysterectomies; I refused to have one. I’ve heard from sources that a ketogenic diet would help shrink the masses. To me, that would be FAR better than surgery.
Help me what ketogenic diet is
I had them and flooded for 10 months straight horrible and finally got to get a hysterectomy what a relief
Going through this now 😕 total hysterectomy surgery soon approaching. It's a tough decision to make as a woman. Thanks for sharing this video Dr. Oz
Google,Castor Oil packs,I had a fibroid tumors so big I couldn't take a Pep test to examine my uterus....I did the castor oil packs,I rub castor oil on my stomach and place a towel on top after putting the towel in hot water...I reduce my meat Intake and increased my vegetables,drink plenty of water no operation,Hope this help

No! I refused
Fibroid Specialist
None of the women in my family have ever taken any oral birth control. We all have fibroids. I chose to have a hysterectomy after I had my children age 42.
Unfortunately, it can be birth control (the hormones in it), but also meat, dairy, low vitamin D, stress, processed foods along with the lack of live healthy foods such as dark leafy veggies, fruits, grains, etc. Check out Dr. Bobby Price and Coach Gessie. Maybe their info can help other women in your family before surgery.
I have fibroids. I also had 2 removed in 2019 via the Acessa procedure. Since 2020, I drink aloe vera water 8 oz a day, it stops the cramps - I take one tablespoon of Hemp Oil while on my period to lessen the flow. Hope this information is helpful.
Thank you.
Fenugreek seeds added to my water also help along with raspberry tea.
Is that the one that they use heat through ultrasound(FUS)? If so, what city did you have it done? What were the requirements? Sorry so many questions but it's hard to find info from someone who actually did it😅
Thanks for sharing. Have you tried an organic plant based diet free of dairy, soy and meat? That may help as well as raspberry leaf tea
@@NiNiTheWarrior I no longer suffer from fibroids since I started that routine. But I have been putting raspberry leaves in my smoothie😃

We have a lot of women who suffer with it
AVOID ALL RED MEAT THAT YOU CAN FOR the Fibrous Feed on it
It so nice to see a Celebrity speak on it love this girl more work and research need to be done
About it WOMEN empower yourself listen to you body it always speaks to us
Thanks I am from the island's recently found out i have fibroids🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
If you are a certain blood type it is not good to get rid of meat.
Stress grows fibroids too
Not sure why diet is not discussed as well as toxic load and excess estrogen which are all najor contributors.
Absolutely
Because it's not proven so it can't be stated as fact.
Thank god I went to the emergency room finally after struggling for 4 years! I got them after the IUD, i was forced to take it out because I was fainting in the bathroom. I am getting them removed. I workout and eat healthy and I look 5 months pregnant.
If they told what caused them, they would have to pay us all. Lawsuits filed everywhere.
I often times wonder if it's the Anaprox pills the doctors prescribed for my cramps in my early teens, high school, and college years. I'll always wonder.
Fax! They just need to admit all the hair relaxers caused it!
Birth control mainly.
It's definitely the relaxer@@liberatedflygirl8000
Reading all the comments is very interesting and helpful to know that I'm not the only person going through this.
I had a hysterectomy at the age of 38, I am now 70. I had fibroids and endometriosis and it caused infertility. My mother also had fibroids. There is an incident with my mother I will never forget. I was 12 or 13 and my mother took the bus to work. One evening she came home with blood all over her clothes, on the bus. After two failed attempts at surgery in hopes of relieving all the bleeding, pain, having a baby and what happened to my mother, I decided to have the surgery and I'm glad I did.
My gosh. I feel it for you and I feel the pain and horror your mum had, as I would be in shopping centres and just flood through my clothes. I would then have to buy new ones. I had aconfition named adenonyosis, i.e. the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrial tissue) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus.).
I had to have the mirena coil and now I have constant blood in my urine, severe hormonal.weight gain, distended stomach and nausea, exhaustion etc. and an ultrasound found one big fibroid and a mass. I am having a procedure as an emergency, to remove and reinsert the coil, take biopsies and some other procedures (while they are in there). I pray they are benign and things go well from this point forward. Wishing all us managing these conditions all the very best. Love from England, UK 🙏🏾
Yeah, I had fibroids (and endometriosis) in my thirties also. I was trying to get pregnant too, but could not. It's systematically done to poison us that cause this problem.
Yup, me too I'm trying to get pregnant but still nothing. I'm trying a Carnivore diet right now.
You're 100% right. Anyone heard of Agenda 30!?!
@@KapeCatSame YOU'RE not alone. I'm just eating organic

@kelicajohnston9990 hi dear how r u dealing with your endometriosis i’m 41 and a cancer survivor i was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and fibroid in 2019 first surgery was done in 2019 and the second surgery was in december 2022 both surgeries were laparoscopic + laparotomy but-the endometriosis polyp is back again with so severe pain i asked my dr for the Hysterectomy but my dr told me that i’m having dense adhesion and my endometriosis is the worst type can’t be guaranteed that it will not return and also not sure about pain relief but i’m in so much pain my life is so disturbed don’t know what to do ?
I am exactly going thru same health issues. Waiting for the date where they will discuss my health and what is next for. I am from Toronto ❤health system in Canada 😢 never imagine I have to wait that long.every month I am down with heavy bleeding low grade fever due to pain. Funny things is when obg says I understand what you going through 😅 but it is only you know what is going through in you. God bless all ❤
Going through the same thing now I am dealing with urine in blood I have ultrasound this month to check on the kidneys
Just to let everyone know my results were normal
I had two Laparoscopic Myomectomies - I am so blessed my OBGYN cared about what I wanted, that was to preserve my fertility. She said a Hysterectomy is the last option, and that is if you have cancer - unless, of course is if you want to do that. When I was diagnosed, I never even had heard of this before. We need to raise more awareness.
Yes we do
I had a myomectomy and my fibroids grew back and larger then I had to have an emergency hysterectomy after hemorrhaging.
I have uterine fibroids and an enlarged uterus. I am scared of surgery.
Same! I just deal with it each month.
I am having surgery today
I’m terrified of the anesthesia because I didn’t react well to the epidural with my fist child and that was my very fist experience with anesthesia. I’m dealing with not just the bleeding that comes unexpectedly but the pain and even constipation that I didn’t have before . My doctor says that it’s not possible to treat the symptoms without hormones and I don’t want to take contraceptive pills , they get me nauseous. She said that the second option would be an iud
See if you qualify for uv. They go in thru the thigh or the neck I believe they use like a Lazer to remove. I'm going in soon. Not afraid at all just want the pain to be over.
Don’t be it’s not bad at all! I have already had 2 operations but mine were vaginal myomectomy
Lovely of her to shave her story , go though this monthly and it’s really annoying I have to wear maternity pads and period knickers at the same time to avoid accidents. Nice to know I’m not alone.
My stomach is bloated and i feel pregnant, plus my back hurts all the time
I hate the feeling pregnant feeling
Me too. Doing UFE.
My back hurts, I have hemorrhoids and I have 7 fibroids one the size of an orange
@@santoshabraggs9767 you need to get them removed, that just crazy to leave those in. Why won't your doctor remove them? Demand it or change doctors. You should not have to suffer.
Im having my UFE procedure tomorrow. So much back pain, abdominal pain, heavy periods. Ready for this to be over.
I had fibroids that made my periods 20 days every month. 3 yrs after it began I hemorrhaged with the slightest movement at work. My boss saw my face turn white and helped me to the phone to call my dr who said I needed to get to the hospital. He called the hospital to set up pre-op then later in the week I had surgery. The ovaries were almost the size of limes which he said would have turned cancerous so were removed along with my uterus which was the size of a 14 week pregnancy!
I am off work now, with that same thing. I'm scared to move.😢
I HEMMORAGED AND SICK CYCLES LASTED FOR MONTHS.
How do you feeling now? Im on the same boat I think 😢
I had my hysterectomy when I was 32years old and now I am 4 years free of periods I had been having heavy bleeding since I was 12 years old for a long time I didn't know that I had fibroids at a early age but I am glad that I am free of this my mother didn't tell me anything but I am glad that it is over now.
I am in my early 40 ties. I did a surgery 9 yrs ago. And now the annoying fibroids are back
Vitamin D and Hormone balancing herbs like Dim and Primerose can help prevent fibroids. Also diet.
agreed. cut coffee(not completely) but increased the tea w/ honey and it has helped. Not a cure but helped.
THANK YOU FOR RHIS VIDEO!
I was just told me I have two fibroids and wanted me to have a hysterectomy and I refused! I’m 46 and I want all my organs!! I’m
So thankful I found this video
Hi ladies!!!i read so many of your comments and i'm like wow!i too have a few small fibroids...i've never spoken about it in public..there was a time when i use to get a weakening pain in my leg and abdomen (sometimes)not knowing if it was exactly from that...i vistied the dr and one of my main hormones was less than normal. I was treated..i made some changes to my diet as well...i dont know the last time i got pain to be honest...the thing is though the location of it has affected my changes of pregnancy hence other alternatives in that area...we really gotta be strong for each other❤❤❤❤❤
God bless this young lady for sharing her story and bringing some needed light to this issue that has been plaguing lives for centuries!!!!
I have them in the lining of my uterine wall. I had one miracle child that I almost lost . Birth control help me get pregnant while this kept me sterile. My doctor told me my pregnancy was considered being in the rght place at the right time. It has also caused urge incontinence. My fibroids is hereditary.
Excellent segment. I'm still not understanding why on TV they only speak about myomectomy and not fibroid embolization. Embolization is less non surgical & recovery time is quick.
Not sure where you live, but in NYC embolization is all over the commercials. That's how I first heard about it.
As a matter of fact, in NYC I see more commercials a out even one of the things they are claiming now causes fibroids, perm relaxers.
It’s not always a viable option for every woman. For me, I had as many and as large fibroids as Michelle so I needed the full open myomectomy. Also, my doctor suggested that the myomectomy was a better option for women desiring children. That may be the reason this is the preferred option.
Oh my Goodness. I have and is experiencing the exact symptoms and has had an accident at work. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy in 12/23/2023. I will be turning 55 in November. I have decided to keep my ovaries. My uterus is the size of a cantaloup and I have several fibroids 2 is the sizes of an oranges.. We definitely need answers why this happens to so many women
Are u ok now??,i have tooo do this😢😢 im afraid😢😢😢
UFE is the way I’m going now. No more surgery!
UFE did absolutely nothing for me. Zero changed. Unfortunately not the solution for everyone.
Thank you team Oz for showcasing this on your show. I’d discovered I’d had fibroids 8 years ago after my periods went from bad to worse. A good friend of mine just discovered she had them and will need them operated on. Her inability to conceive almost broke her in her younger years, and she wonders if this diagnosis is what contributed to that
I'm so glad he's talking about this
I have fibroids as well. Two inside my uterus three outside of it. I changed my diet and they shrunk. During my pregnancy once again they grew but shrunk back down again because of my diet. Now I have normal periods and zero cramps or pains. Everyone’s body is different but I’m able to control mine through what I eat. So I’m grateful to find a healthier way to handle this situation.
Wow,I'm happy you can control yours through food What do u eat?
how can I say thank you *Dr Kosun* for curing me of my disease and making me whole again.i promise to tell the world about your super herbs that cured me
@@afuaeffiesb Hi and thank you:) I did a lot of research because what the doctor was telling me seemed off. I cut out the high starchy foods first. Stop eating bread, especially white, pasta, rice, all sugars and replace it with honey instead. Was hard but eventually the body gets use to it. I basically eat a lot of greens, raw kale , spinach, cucumbers to start. Absolutely no dairy, but I love ice cream so I found a dairy free ice cream, it feeds the fibroids in my discovery during research. Of course fruits but lots have sugar so mainly veggies and especially bell peppers. I also take supplements because it’s about healing the gut as well. I did this for about a year and by the time I got them check again they were hard to find basically almost gone. My doctor was shocked.😆 As I stated everyone is different so hopefully this too may work for someone else as well:) research, and a healthy, well-balanced diet with super foods and greens is a key factor in helping us all out. Also absolutely no sodas only water and teas. Sorry it’s so long and hope this helps if needed:)
What diet did you follow
I can't afford the surgery and I'm sure I'm not the only woman with this problem, yes there should be some help out there for women with this issue, I'm over 50 and a hysterectomy at this point in life would be a God send
I feel you. I'm currently experiencing this. It's awful 😩
I probably can't afford it either but neither can the potential to get anemic issues, and anxiety and sleep disorders because the fibroids take control of my body.
It goes away with menopause.
@nellysworld5151 yes I heard that too but I think everyone body is different nd it depends on what you eat
I have experienced all symptoms from my early menstruation.
This was 50 years ago when I thought I was dealing with what other women were as well.
Thinking about my hormonal changes in my life
I do believe that hormones are the key.
Glandular interactive
thyroid pituitary parathyroid thymus
Working to balance hormones 🙃 😢
These fibroids stop the development of a healthy women by preventing the supply of hormones into the cells of Uterus.
Blocking growing causing excessively long heavy bleeding in menstruation .
Thank you for sharing. I recently had a myoectomy last and still recovering but I can’t feel my body changing for the better, if that makes sense. My breast’s are swollen and tender and getting bigger which is from my hormones and my body seems to be balancing out.
Like she said you have to listen to your body.
@@NiNiTheWarrior The body is brilliant adapter for keeping us alive 🙌
So true , and so truly difficult as well .
Especially in cases of severe hormonally changing circumstances.
What was the message because we are still suffering out here
See my response in the comments. Fibroids are estrogen dominant- you will have to make changes in your diet as well as add supplements like DIM to balance your hormones. Studies support the use of green tea in shrinking fibroids as well.
I’ve had 2 surgeries now and I turned 40 this year. The first one was my late 20s, I had pain but no noticeable bloating. The 2nd time was 2021 my stomach got large as if I was pregnant, got them removed and my stomach never fully reverted back to normal. A year later when for a check up and they found 3. Going to check this week if they gotten larger. I would say I’m done with intensive surgeries though.
My dear pray and ask God in the Name of Jesus to remove this evil from you.

This was very helpful. I’m going in for an appointment next week. I have all of the symptoms. It’s becoming too much.
I had fibroids inside my uterus. Found out in Desember and had a hysterectomy in January.
The were fast growing. I was 48 years old. Best decision of my life. Still have my ovaries.
I had all the symptoms as described. I have L4,L5 and S1 back issues and had to use pain relief for my back for over 20 years when its that time.

I just came across this video, and the timing couldn’t be better. I am currently waiting a hysterectomy, and just found out have 4 large (around 10cm)fibroids and submucosal fibroids too. I don’t really understand what the difference is in fibroids, and I’m searching for answers. The pain and fatigue is too much! I just hope a hysterectomy is going to give me my life back.
This is making me angry. Not at the information being given but, that I was recently in the hospital for other health reasons but, they did a ultrasound of my uterus and they found a fibroid sitting right on my ovary just one...so they said.... And said it's the size of a lime but I don't need to worry about it. I'm realizing now that apparently I should be and I need to go see a different doctor. One who cares about me as a patient. Cause hearing all this I go through so much pain and bleeding heavily and as I get older it's getting worse. I am going to take care of this ASAP! Like thank you! 🙏🏾
Oh my goodness! I pray you don't go through what I did. I had a golf ball sized cyst on my ovary and the weight of it managed to twists my ovary, killing it, there was no way to describe the pain. They had to remove my ovary. Luckily I still got pregnant with one ovary. Get a second opinion.
Please go they can grow
Yes, please take care of it sweetheart. I wish I would’ve got my surgery years ago.
Please take care. I was told almost the same line, "they are tiny, you shouldn't worry, we will deal with them later."🙄
Well, that led to 17 fibroids, 1 the size of an orange. I had UFE, and 👍🏿. Follow your instinct and research.
Yes I went to a Doctor who said “oh it’s just 1 fibroid you’ve been having” im like lady I’m in pain …. I got imaging done there like 5 …. And now I have a new gynecologist to figure out what to do
I was diagnosed with fibroids 5 years ago. I tried herbal and homeopathic treatment but condition got worse. So i went through embolization of uterine fibroids. I am women of 45 having 3 adult kids due to teenage marriage.

So now I’m just waiting to see how I heal up❤️😩🙏🏽🙏🏽
Michelle I thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽 waiting for my 2nd fibroid removal surgery.
I have not used any birth control, so I'm sure mine wasn't caused by that.
Excellent interview DoctorOz. I really appreciated all this information. I have all the symptoms mentioned in this video too. In the next couple months I’ll have a second surgery to remove more fibroids. The first one was in 2014 and sadly they grow back again.
The thing is insurances do not want to pay for procedures that includes removing the fibroid. They want to treat symptoms
I’ve had thee different fibroid removal surgeries under thee different insurance companies with no problem
You're right about that because I keep having something else to do. I'm too busy to even get to it😢
I have big fibroids and will try to take the progesteron pill so I can take a break from these nasty accidents.
However I would like to ask everybody to look for a second opinion, a histerectomy is a serious operation. There is a procedure now where they take the uterus out but leave the ovaries and that helps still with the hormones.
In Germany there is a non invasive procedure with radiofrequency where basically the fibroids are split in pieced through radio frequency.
In addition my Ob Gyn recommended a variation of radiofrequency called Sonata.
A myomectomy is an invasive operation and there are other options.
Some doctors also recommend a hormone cocktail that is suppressing oestrogen and progesterone as is thought this might shrink the fibroids and cut the period. However my doctor mentioned there are no real studies to prove their efficacy.
It is a given that most health remedies are tested on men, for the same reason many women's heart attacks are ignored cause they manifest differently.
We as women need to get louder and ask for pur rights and that science is investing in the diseases affecting us.
I did a little research a while back, and saw a medical show that confirmed what I found out. Some very strong possible causes are, substances from some relaxers/perms and other leave-in hair products, some types of make-up and hormones found in certain meats.
After menopause, I discovered I had bleeding in my urine which was only seen through lab work. 6 months to a year of getting test done I was told by the Obgyn Dr. I had some small fibroids. Turns out they got worse as time went on. Had symptoms like I still had a period. Most of my middle School and High School years I was pretty regular, I played sports and was very active until my 30's and 40's. On occasion I would have pain and other symptoms which were a bit off during my period but nothing as bad as after my mid 50's. Looking back I believe that my being active helped me with not getting full blown symptoms until I stop being active. Found out my mother also had fibroids and had a hysterectomy in her mid 40's she wasn't active as a teen and she had heavy flows through out her teens and 30's to the point she would be bed ridden for 2 weeks every Month. The only time she wasn't bed ridden was during her pregnancy. This makes me think that being active sports wise was a way of controlling my fibroids during my earlier years, because of our two different experiences and the only difference is how active I was from my Mother's non sports.
Oh wow, being active is something to consider. I can't believe even in Menopause you have issues. Here I am looking forward to Menopause to alleviate my symptoms. What a bummer 😢
Hormone balance. Pregnancy is high progesterone as we go into menopause we loose all progesterone. We have to supplement on a cycle progesterone and estrogen. Exercise always good but it’s hormones
Thank you for this topic. These are common on my mother’s side of the family. My great grandmother died because of these in her early 30’s. 😢

I was diagnosed with endometriosis about 15 yrs ago. Suffer with debilitating menstruation cramps and heavy bleeding for the first 2 days of my cycle. Last year, i was told by my obgyn that i have 2 fibroids, but it should't cause me any problems since they are very small but if i wanted to have it removed it was up to me. Im 47 yrs old now, never had any kids unfortunately due to my endo. I had 1 pregnancy in my late 20's about 1 and a half yrs after marriage but that ended up in an early miscarriage. Had an ivf in my 30's which was unsuccessful.
Now i just try to manage my pain, which isnt always easy until i go into menopause
Underutilized holistic treatment for cysts and fibroids that have given many of my patients their life back- Serrapeptase Enzyme.
Does it really work
I'm 36 yrs old i have a fibroid 5.6 cm always pain so sad i still didn't have a children after 13 yrs marriage 😢
After years of trying I just found out a natural diet if effective at getting ride of them. Mostly vegetables and low glycemic fruits and roots. Staying away from sweet fruits that are sugary
me similar but more complicated
I was just diagnosed with two fibroid tumors, cysts on both ovaries, cysts along my cervix, and a uterine polyp
Not to mention it has caused me to have severe anemia snd debilitating pain
I’ve been dealing with these for years. I had one vagina myomectomy to remove the largest one at the time. I also have one that is on the outside of my uterus that is pedunculated. Not only did the larger one grow back with a vengeance, but the second one is almost as large. I’ve been through enough hell since I was a teenager that I’m getting this beast removed. I wanted to have a hysterectomy done years ago but doctors refused to do it. They said I was too young and didn’t know what I was talking about. Or that I’d regret it because it meant not being to have kids. Like I’d really regret not being in now constant pain. Even my current OB agrees that I should’ve had it done years ago. Now I finally get to say goodbye to the beast in a couple of weeks.
I’m scared to death. I’m getting a abdominal hysterectomy done November 14. Been dealing with this for about 15 to 20 years of my life. 😩😩 I have so many symptoms. From the fibroids.
My sister just had this surgery and she is doing fine. Be positive! Everything will be fine😊❤
Dont be afraid
I'm so glad that technology had changed I had a robotic myomectomy I'm about to go back to surgery to get 3 more out next month but they grow back depending on your age
Btw if you have such huge things growing in your uterus, next stage is other growths like cancer you should be looking out for next! The older you get the more things will grow, watch out!
Just had Uterine Fibroid Embolization/Uterine Artery Embolization on 11-28-23
Good awareness but it should have been longer for Dr.Oz to give her nutrition tips or something otherwise it makes it hopeless so sad, I'm praying for her
I have two fibroids and experience all the symptoms too. 😢
I'm 52 and suffer every month with pain and nausea due to fibriods ...My mom had them as well as one of my sisters..
