Homeopathic treatment for Fibroids
Can homeopathy help you avoid hysterectomy?
Homeopathic remedies tend to balance the hormones, shrink the fibroids and reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. The medicines are selected solely based on the individual’s symptoms and how these symptoms present themselves. Fibroids are a leading cause of hysterectomy (the removal of the uterus). Removal of uterus leads to surgically induced menopause. The abrupt disruption in the production of hormones will cause symptoms that are more severe, more frequent and last longer compared with symptoms of natural menopause.
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of the fibroid while preserving the uterus but recurrences are often observed.
How much time does it take to completely cure these Fibroids?
That depends entirely on the size and chronicity of the Uterine Fibroid and overall symptoms.
