Most women will develop fibroids in their lifetime. However, they are not always large enough to cause an issue or any pain/discomfort. Fibroids impact 26 women annually and can range in size from a pea to a melon. One of the complexities of fibroids is the variation in size as well as the multitude of symptoms that come along with them, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, blood clots, anemia, pelvic and back pain, the appearance of pregnancy, pain with sex, GI distress/discomfort, cramping, impacting quality of life and desire or ability to go out and do things/work. Depending on the size of your fibroids as well as your symptoms, there are many options for treatment. A great deal of relief and healing can come from nutritional interventions, supplementation, and acupuncture. Our nutritionist Lindley has a history with fibroids and, as a result, has extensive experience addressing them and bringing clients relief and healing.
