Are you feeling anxious or a high level of uncertainty about your fibroid treatment options?
If you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids, chances are you were probably offered one of the following 3 options:
- Do nothing, and just wait and see how it progresses
- Birth control
- Surgery
They’ve given you clear options, but you’re not sure if this is what’s right for your body.
And there’s a reason for this uncertainty.
It’s due to the “elephant in the room” that nobody talks about.
It’s because of this, that on some instinctual level, you feel like something is off, or that this doesn’t feel right.
The “elephant in the room” is that none of these methods try to understand what caused these fibroids to appear in the first place. Nobody is addressing the root cause. And this – has major implications.
Birth control shuts down your menstrual cycles so that your body doesn’t feed the fibroid. But the moment you come off birth control in order to get pregnant or simply because you want to be off of them – the problem is still there.
With surgery, they can remove the fibroids. But it is a well documented fact that fibroids have a high rate of recurrence – which means that there is a chance of them growing back within a few years. The only sure-fire option would be a hysterectomy, where they remove the entire uterus. But this isn’t a desirable option for a lot of women in their 30’s-40’s for obvious reasons.
What these treatments options lack is an approach that seeks to heal the uterine environment and regulate the hormonal imbalance that created the situation in the first place. Without this, you can’t truly have a sustainable, long-term solution.
Now this doesn’t mean that we tell our patients to not got on birth control or get surgery.
Absolutely not.
In fact, many of our patients go through our clinic’s treatment as part of an overall integrative approach. This means that while they may eventually go down the surgical route, they are actively working on and improving their uterine environment through our process leading up to their surgery.
Why put in the work if you’re going to get surgery anyways? Because #1, it can make a difference in reducing the chances of the fibroids coming back. #2, removing your fibroids doesn’t necessarily mean your intense mood swings, cramps, and other cycle-related symptoms are going to go away. Addressing the hormonal balance, however, does mean that those symptoms will get better.
Our clinic focuses on treatments that help correct the body’s metabolism of estrogen in order to stop fibroid growth and in some cases even shrink them. This approach is all about sowing seeds and reaping long-term improvements that last.
There is an unmistakable value in addressing the situation at its roots, regardless of whether you are looking to heal your fibroids holistically or remove them surgically. By looking beyond the surface, you have already set yourself apart from the masses with your desire to put in the work to really heal your body.
