46 year old has fibroids and anemia

Posted By Linda From Florida (Zolfo Springs, Fl, United States) on 10/30/2012

My name is linda, im 46 yrs old and have suffered from uterine fibroids for yrs. In the beginning I had very heavy periods and painful, now the last 6 months they last longer but not heavy and no pain. Ive had 2 have 5 blood transfusions, and was told again I need a hystercomy. I have several fibroids, my dr put me on birth control pills to stop my periods but did not inform me the estrogen in the pills makes the fibriods grow. I DONT WANT SURGERY PERIOD. Is there really a natural way to get rid of them? i am currently taken serrapeptase and maca, and just had my period and it lasted 7 days instead of 2 or 3 wks. Im also anemic and taking iron pills. Ive been on serrapeptase for 1 month, I do feel better but im worried im not doing enough to try and get rid of them. Please help, im terrified of surgery. I just had bloodwork done 2 see if im going thru perimenopause, please I need help, anyone?

hi linda. I too had uterine fibroids that caused me have extremely heavy periods, back and leg pain. I could hardly walk at times and had to literally run to the bathroom if I coughed or laughed. I never wanted to have any surgery at all in life, except the csection to deliver my daughter, so when my doctor told me I could have a hysterectomy, I wasnt receptive at all. I tried all the remedies I could find but the most effective was to have my uterus removed and to keep my ovaries.

i will tell you that ws the best choice I have ever made in my life. Is wish I would have made he choice early. I am now forty six as well and grateful I no longer have the pain associated with my fibroids, but I do have the premenstrual symptoms but no actual period. I suggest any woman who is not trying to have any children, and has fibroids to have the surgery. I had my surgery on january twenty first, two thousand and six and that is when my life began.

there is a procedure call uterine fibroid emobilization that can save your uterus and kill the bloodflow to the fibroids whch will irradicate them. if you want something noninvasive as an actual surgery, I would look into that.

Find an accupuncturist, with chinese herbs you can begin dissolving the fibroids.

Google 'pranic healing'. It is an energy based protocol that has a LOT of success getting rid of fibroids. Anyone can go this for you long distance if there is no one in your vicinity.

Look at 'Endoflex' is the oil name. They are therapeutic grade and have incredible results in resolving women's issues.

Also look at this link for successful resolution of fibroids with essential oils. (It is IMPERATIVE to use therapeutic grade essential oils to not harm your body. Only 2% of essential oils on the market are therapeutic grade).

http://tiffanyrowan.com/essentialoils/essential-oils/essential-oils-for-fibroid-pain/

Also google 'Weston Price' Foundation. There are many cases of women consuming high quality fermented cod liver oil which has gotten rid of heavy bleeding, fibroids and the like. This type of cod liver oil has great amounts of Vitamin A which can help your body heal itself.

I have resolved my fibroid issues with a combination of what I shared with you above.

Good luck, Tina

Hi Linda... There is a supplement called DIM. I suggest further web searches. It has helped me enough to think I can get to menopause now without surgery. I am 51... with many female issues, a large fibroid among them.

Dim helps to regulate estrogens. I also believe in ACV (1oz) and Baking Soda (1/2 teaspoon) every day, and three times a day when having period.... I know how miserable it can be, and wish you the very best. Good luck!

Depression, anxiety could be a vitamin deficiency.. Magnesium or vitamin d might help... have your doctor check your vitamin levels.

I dont have the signs of having them, thank u jesus.

My belly is not big at all, im not overweight, my periods r light and im not in pain when im on it. I dont understand when a few yrs bak I use to go hard and pass big clotts and be in really bad pain, now theres no pain and I just kinda spot. Should I get a different dr?plz help me w/any info. Ive changed my diet and try to eat completely organic, I dont eat meat other then organic chicken oassionally. I stopped dairy period, caffeiene, sugar. No processed food. I pray alot too. Ive lost about 25 pds and dont want to lose anymore.

Hi - I agree with what Susan said - Make sure you are getting enough magnesium and vitamin D. Also, another thing you might want to read about is lithium orotate (not to be confused with straight up lithium acetate or carbonate, it is a different thing).

My husband takes lithium orotate, and after reading about it you might want to try it. We buy his online (vitacost. com) where it is way cheaper than at a regular store.

Here is an excellent research starting point / website about lithium orotate written by Dr. Jonathan Wright of the Tahoma Clinic:

Good luck to you. :-)

Hi Linda, You mentioned that you are taking serrapeptase and that your fibroids have shrunk in size but you think this is a doctor error. I don't understand why you would think this as serrapeptase eats non living tissues in the body or in otherwords, serrapeptase is eating away at your fibroids. So, why are you surprised that they have shrunk? Fibroids have, from what I have read, been linked to a possible insufficiency of B vitamins, specifically B6 and B12. You are taking B12. It can be possible that you are not absorbing your B12 as you have mentioned that you are on a low protein diet and the B vitamins need to combine with protein when taken in order to be absorbed and used efficiently by the body. You may find this article helpful;

I wish you well in your recovery.

Susan, thank u. I am currently taking b12 and I will check on magnesium. I actually am feeling better, I started maca a lil over a wk ago and started Apple Cider Vinegar w/raw honey. Im trying to get as much info as possible, I get tired of everyone saying to me to just get the surgery. Thanks again

Hi, it would be sensible to get a 2nd opinion from a different gyno clinic.
