Fibroids can be a very exasperating thing for women to deal with.
Because fibroids are not generally harmful to the body, most doctors do not advocate actively eliminating them.
Rather, doctors will put off removing them until women pass menopause.
What if you still have many active, reproductive years left? What do you do? Fibroids form, in part, because of an excess of estrogen in the body.
This is the biggest reason why doctors prefer putting off treatment of fibroids until after menopause.
After a woman goes through menopause, there is a sharp reduction in the production of estrogen and, as a result, fibroids will shrink naturally.
Even if treatment was sought immediately, maybe in the form of surgery, fibroids can and, very often do, regrow.
Surgery and drug treatment will eliminate fibroids, but they do not eliminate the cause of fibroids nor will they prevent the growth of new fibroids.
In order to protect yourself from future fibroids, you have to adjust your lifestyle in a way that prevents the growth of fibroids.
As mentioned, fibroids grow, in large part, due to excess levels of estrogen in the body.
Estrogen is stored in body fat.
Consequently, the more body fat you have, the more estrogen you have and the more susceptible you are to fibroid growth.
Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce your risk of fibroids.
Many pesticides and toxins have the same effect on the body that estrogen does.
A liver detox has been found to be beneficial in reducing or eliminating fibroids.
