Benign Fibroid Tumors
uterine Fibroid Removal?
I had a large uterine fibroid removed on April 22. The fibroid was large 10.5 cm, so they did it by an incision cut (from my belly button down to the top of my vagina). The first week and 1/2 were painful, but now I'm up, walking around doing pretty normal activities. Went to my post-op visit, and the pathology was normal/benign (orig. they were worried it was cancer because the tumor grew so big so fast). But I'm ok, and the stitches had dissolved. The Dr. performed and internal exam and said everything looked fine and that for the next two to three months it's normal to feel a little "off" down there.
Well other than the scar healing and the skin being a bit bruised and tightened I was feeling fine. Now I constantly feel bloated. I feel like my colon is always filled with pressure and gas. I don't know if this is what she means by "off" and it's normal after major abdominal surgery or if I should call and make another appt?
I had a c-section and also a fibroid that they removed. It's normal to feel like the doctor said "off" for a couple of months. Everything has to settle back to where it was. My doctor recommended that I get checked every 6-12 months to see if it grows back. Wait awhile before you go back unless your in deep pain. YOU JUST HAD SURGERY.
Alternative Treatment For Fibroid Tumors-Naturally Treat Uterine Fibroids
Over a year ago now, I decided to try out alternative treatment for fibroid tumors. I had large fibroids and was reluctantly going down the surgery route, but had a month's "window" before starting hormonal blockers to shrink them temporarily to make surgery easier.
I knew that they were benign and therefore felt fully justified in trying out an alternative before I went under the knife.
When originally diagnosed, I was told that I had several fibroids, the largest being the size of a grapefruit. I had terrible symptoms, which included flooding during each period and terrible cramps. I was also partially incontinent, iron deficient and tired all the time! My sex life took a hit too. I looked permanently pregnant and intercourse was the last thing on my mind!
I knew about all the inherent risks of a hysterectomy but initially felt I had no other options. However, as many of us do, I began searching on the internet and came across an alternative treatment for fibroid tumors. Being a natural skeptic, I must have read the information half a dozen times before taking the plunge and pressing the "buy" button. However, I figured that I really did have nothing to lose. My surgery was looming and I would have done (almost!) anything to avoid it.
The alternative treatment for fibroid tumors which I used centered around treating the root causes of fibroids. Although it is almost impossible to isolate the causes in individual women, by dealing with each and every possible root cause and no stone is left unturned. I can understand that some women might find it difficult to find the motivation to stick with the treatment, but as my symptoms were so bad, this was all the motivation I needed!
Excessive estrogen is one of the main causes of fibroid tumors. This is not only the naturally occurring estrogen, but estrogen mimicking compounds which originate from pesticides and environmental toxins. Maintaining a healthy weight can help to reduce natural estrogen, although removing estrogen mimicking compounds can be more difficult and the only way to successfully remove them is by performing a liver detox. To do a liver detox, you must drink plenty of water (a minimum of 2 liters) and avoid eating processed meats. Certain herbs, including Milk Thistle can be used to cleanse the liver.
Another useful alternative treatment for fibroid tumors is to eat foods which have natural anti-inflammatory properties, such as oats, hops and cumin as it is thought that many women with fibroids are sensitive to inflammatory conditions.
The symptoms I experienced, such as bloating and heavy periods began to diminish in just a couple of weeks. Noticeable fibroid shrinkage began after about 6 weeks and within 4 months, my largest fibroid had shrunk by just over a third.
It was the lack of comprehensive "real" help for women led an alternative practitioner to develop a complete system for shrinking fibroids which mirrored what she taught women in her busy clinic. Her unique, 7 Step Plan has been successfully used by many thousands of women worldwide and for those who are willing to take charge of their own treatment and recognize that they will have to play an active role in their own healing, then this is simply ideal.
If, however, you are the type of person who will simply expect to take a pill and be cured, then this is maybe not the right system for you. If you feel you have a degree of motivation, then I can highly recommend that you give it a try.
