Nothing: that is available over the counter. Treatment of uterine fibroids medically is possible but should only be undertaken with medical supervision. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Fibroid treatment: There is really no medicine to shrink the fibroid. Fibroid usually shrink with aging and with menopause. If does not bothers the recommendation is to leave it alone.

Diet exercise help: Fibroids grow with estrogen stimulation so an anti-estrogen approach will be helpful. Diet and exercise to lose body fat (secondary source of estrogen) very helpful. Diet rich in colored vegetables, fruit (which contain flavonoids which block key enzyme in estrogen production) . Trying to avoid hormone-rich foods (red meat, chicken, dairy) also help. Soy substitution can benefit too.
