Can you shrink fibroids with holistic medicine? and uterine fibroids
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Phytoestrogens: 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.

No: Fibroids are benign tumors that can only be removed by surgery.
