Re: Homeopathy and fibroids

[Guest guest]

:

I was treated by a homeopath for about 5 months. According to what I

understand, there are two ways to approach homeopathic treatment: treat the

disease, or give a constitutional treatment that works on an energetic level.

This homeopath worked with the constitutional remedies. I didn't see any

changes, even in the bleeding problems. In November, I started seeing an

M.D. who used Chinese herbs and vitamins and minerals. I started seeing an

improvement in the bleeding during the first month. But, I didn't like the

way he treated me personally, and he never talked about shrinking the

fibroid. So, I started to get scared. I switched to a doctor of oriental

medicine who uses Korean herbs. I've been doing this for a little over two

weeks. He says that he doesn't treat the disease. He treats the reason for

the disease: imbalalance of hot, cold, weak, strong, yin, yang. I don't

think I notice a change yet. I sometimes get down on the floor several times

a day just to palpate my fibroid. But it's hard to be objective about that.

And he did say this would take a long time.

I'd like to hear what you find out in your research.

I tried both homeopathy (at least 6 mos) and an extensive herbal program. I

saw a westertn herbalist for about 8 mos. and a Chinese herbalist for about

4. The homeopath was very well respected and I think very good -- she

greatly helped a friend of mine with endometriosis -- but she did not help

with my fibroids or symptoms at all. The herbal treatments, both, helped

with my symptoms and energy and it seemed they kept the fibroids from

growing, but did not shrink them at all. When I had my myomectomy the doctor

said the fibroids were very loosely attatched and were very easy to " peel "

out. My herbalist had told before the surgery this might be the case because

of the regimin I had been doing. She also thought the herbs might " soften "

the fibroids ....whatever that means.

I'm being treated with herbs. Have been seeing an

herbalist/Dr of Naturopathy. So far so good. I decided

on another route because I dont want another myo.

fibroids came back after 1year. uterus size of 18week

.. I'm taking the following. Have been on these since

October. My last period was this month. Only 2 days of

just spotting

kelp

Primrose Oil

Vitiamin e, Bayberry, Wild yam, Esiak capsules or

E-tea,

I've also changed my diet. no beef pork or scavenger

fish. only eat chicken from veggie fed chickens. same

for eggs.

also cut down on caffeine

hope it helps.

See, for me that is another issue. Much of the medication that someone would

take I cannot absorb. I have a mal-absorption issue due to weight loss

surgery. I HAVE to take 2 prenatal vitamins and 2 calcium's EVERY day just

to make sure I am getting enough of the RDA of basic nutrients. Many

medications and such never have time to absorb in my system. It is great in

that I CANNOT gain back my weight ( I used to be nearly 300 pounds and am

now a wonderful size 4 at 137-144 pounds --5'10 " ) BUT I have to be careful

when taking medications because everything seems to exit my system well

before it has time to take effect. The other thing is that many vitamins

will counteract each other if you take them at the same time, so I have to

take the one kind in the morning, because of the iron and the calcium at

night before bed. Anything taken during the main part of the day won't

last.....so I am worried if I do try to take something to shrink my

system....will it absorb readily? Even liquids meds do not always do well,

however, sometimes they do better. I also had liver and pancreas issues, so

I have to be careful there with what I take.....so many variables.....don't

get me wrong.....I am basically healthy except for my female parts right

now. Otherwise I feel great...I am just at such odds.....don't know what to

do. The doctors office called and scheduled my surgery for the 14th....

I am thirty-seven and recently diagnosed with a

fibroid on the outside of my uterus the size of my

uterus. My doctor wants to do a complete hysterectomy

but I am going to try a homeopathic progesterone

creme. My understanding is that I do not have enough

progesterone and that is what is causing the fibroids.

Have you heard anything about this creme or other

methods. I am trying to avoid surgery and have

absolutely no problems with my period yet. Tina

One year after myo. and your uterus is 18 weeks size? This is incredible. Can

I ask you how old you are and how many and the size of fibroids which you

have removed year ago.

I am considering surgery next months but if I am to have the same amount the

size of fibroids I may reconsider.

I'm interested in this type of re-growth as well.Is this 18weeks all fibroids?Or

is it that the

uterus has stretched and so it is enlarged?I am 6 months post and don't have

fibroids but becauseI

did and they were numnerous and large, the uterus has stretched.This may shrink

down again with

menopause,but it is enlarged without fibroids.Can you explain the amount of

fibroid re-growth and how

this was determined? By exam only or by Ultra sound or CT scan?

Sorry I wasnt clear. The uterus stretched due to

fibroids. It was determined by ultrasound.

In addition, the fibroids are throughout my uterus,

inside, outside, inside cavity.

these things are just everywhere. I guess they are in

love with me and dont want to go away.....

Sorry I wasnt clear. The uterus stretched due to

fibroids. It was determined by ultrasound.

In addition, the fibroids are throughout my uterus,

inside, outside, inside cavity.

these things are just everywhere. I guess they are in

love with me and dont want to go away.....

Hi Tina,

There are all kinds of theories out there about why

fibroids develop. Some believe it's related to

progesterone, some think it's estrogen, some relate it

to diet and lifestyle - but I don't know that any of

those theories have been definitively proven yet. I

don't have any experience with progesterone cream, but

it probably can't hurt to try it. Does it get absorbed

by the skin? Where do you apply it, or does it not

matter?

Also - I don't know all the details of your fibroids,

but I wanted to say that you might want to get a

second opinion before you agree to have a

hysterectomy. It's a pretty drastic treatment for

benign fibroids, and most of the time it is not

considered medically necessary unless there is cancer.

At the very least, you could ask your doc whether

he/she can just remove the fibroid instead of your

entire uterus - especially if you don't have any

symptoms.

Keep us posted,
