Can Uterine Fibroids Be Treated Naturally Without Surgery? - #14860

Anonymously

A few months ago, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids after experiencing heavy periods, severe cramps, and bloating that made me look pregnant. I had no idea what was causing these symptoms until my doctor did an ultrasound and found multiple uterine fibroids. They said they’re non-cancerous, but some are large, and if they keep growing, I might need surgery. I really don’t want to go through surgery unless it’s absolutely necessary. The doctor suggested birth control pills to manage the bleeding, but I’ve read that they can cause side effects and might not actually shrink uterine fibroids. Instead of just controlling the symptoms, I want to know if there are natural ways to actually shrink them. I came across some information about Ayurveda and how it can help balance hormones and reduce fibroid growth. Can Ayurvedic treatments dissolve uterine fibroids completely, or do they just stop them from growing bigger? Are there specific herbs or therapies that have worked for anyone here? Also, does diet play a role in fibroid growth? If you’ve successfully managed uterine fibroids with Ayurveda, please share what helped the most—herbal remedies, lifestyle changes, or any specific treatments? I really want to explore all options before considering surgery.

Ayurveda focuses on balancing hormones and improving digestion to manage uterine fibroids naturally. Kanchanar Guggulu is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation used to help shrink fibroids and reduce their symptoms. Ashoka and Shatavari are also commonly used herbs for balancing menstrual cycles and relieving cramps. While these herbs may not completely dissolve fibroids, they can help slow down their growth and alleviate symptoms. Diet plays a significant role in fibroid management. Ayurveda recommends avoiding processed, fried, and sugary foods that can aggravate hormonal imbalances. Instead, focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and warm, cooked meals to support digestion and hormone regulation. Reducing dairy and caffeine intake may also help with bloating and inflammation. Lifestyle changes like practicing yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can improve blood circulation and reduce stress, which may slow fibroid growth. If you decide to explore Ayurvedic treatments, it’s best to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized plan. Many women have found symptom relief and slowed fibroid growth with consistent Ayurvedic care.
