Question 1

how can you get rid of a fibroid that is the size of a tomato naturally?

Accepted Answer

No good data: Although some alternative treatments have been proposed for fibroids, the studies supporting them are small, non-randomized and non-blinded so the evidence that they work is not very good.  There are a number of medical treatments that are effective for fibroids.  Talk to your doctor about what would work for yours.

Question 2

any permanent solution to get rid of fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Nutritional Rx: Fibroids are a result of high estrogen levels.  High estrogen can be caused by excessive carbohydrate intake  (via competetive inhibition of glucoronidase enzyme) therefore a low carb diet is beneficial to reduce estrogen and help shrink fibroids. You may also have low iodine, thyroid problems, low progesterone. All of these things should be evaluated. All phytoestrogens should be avoided.

Question 3

how do i get rid of fibroids without going tooperation?

Accepted Answer

Consult IR: You would need to get an opinion from an interventional radiologist (ir). If you go to sirweb.Org you will see irs listed by state and when you click on your state, they will list by city. There should be ir near you. You would need to talk to someone who is expert in uterine fibroid embolization (ufe) and see if you are a candidate for ufe. Compare risks/benefits with surgical choices. Good luck.

Question 4

can i get rid of fibroids and keep my uterus?

Accepted Answer

Fibroids and uterus: You can have a embolization of your uterine fibroids done by an interventional radiologist in a hospital done in the radiology suite there. The embolization will cause the deprivation of blood going to the fibroid and it will bleed again. You can avoid a hysterectomy and not bleed again from it. Speak to your gyn about this type of embolization in your case.

Question 5

how do you get rid of fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Fibroids that don't cause symptoms need no treatment. If symptomatic (exs. Heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, increased urinary frequency) diet/exercise (lose body fat) easiest. Medicine next (exs. Anti-inflammatory tranexamic acid, birth control pill). If symptoms persist uterine fibroid embolization (consult interventional radiologist) or surgery (exs.Myomectomy, hysterectomy).

Question 6

what is the best way to get rid of fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: Uterine fiborids are quite common, especially in african american women. Often they don't cause much problem, but some women may experience painful and heavy menstrual periods, causing anemia etc..Progestin only birth controls may help a bit. They can be surgically removed, selectively embolized (cut off blood supply), or hormone suppression.  Consult your doc. Good luck.

Question 7

does ablation surgery get rid of fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Ablation impact is on the lining of the uterus (womb). Myomas (fibroids) are mostly in the walls  if excess bleeding is caused by fibroids, it is usually not treated by ablation.

Question 8

what's the safest way to get rid of fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Safe and Effective: Lupron (leuprolide) (gnrh agonist) can control fibroids with medical menopause. Embolization can treat by blocking the blood supply to the fibroids. Both however, are not definitive treatment & may only improve symptoms. Surgery with an experienced gyn surgeon is both effective & safe and can be done laparoscopically (myomectomy or hysterectomy). Talk to your gyn to see which is best for you & good luck.
