A member asked:
Are there any teas or herbs that i can use to help reduce uterine fibroids as alternative to birth control?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: And birth control does not reduce the size of fibroids, the only med to reduce fibroid size is depo-lupron or surgery.

No: Uterine fibroids are a common tumor of the smooth muscle portion of the uterus. They grow in response to the hormones estrogen and progesterone. There is no herbal remedy that will decrease their size or impact on your cycles or bleeding.
