Uterine Fibroids (Myomas)

“I feel pressure in my abdomen.” “My menstruation is heavier and more prolonged than it has been in the past.” “I am suffering from anaemia.”

This or a similar experience is what women report when suffering from uterine fibroids.

These benign tumours in the uterus grow within muscle fibres, rarely in connective tissue fibres. When the growth is directly underneath the endometrium, the menstrual period is heavier. Within the uterine wall it can add pressure on the bladder and cause complaints during urination as well as painful menstrual cramps. Fibroids can be found outside of the uterus only when they have grown very large.

Uterine fibroids are caused by a female hormone and develop in women during their reproductive years. Approximately 25% of women will have fibroids at some point in their lives.

What is the Vedic medicine point of view on uterine fibroids?

Metabolic residues develop continuously due to improper lifestyle. In the case of fibroids, toxins (in Ayurveda called “Ama”) accumulate in the female genital tract. Stress and an unstable nervous system can serve as a trigger and disturb hormonal balance.

In Ayurveda every patient is different and so each person’s uterine fibroid complaint varies. The Ayurvedic approach at our Centre is holistic.

Vedic medicine offers different methods of treatment. After an in-depth medical diagnosis at our Centre, a comprehensive treatment plan is individually tailored for each patient with uterine fibroids.

They recognize that healing must take place on all levels. In the case of uterine fibroids, for example, an emphasis on elimination of toxins as well as balancing of the nervous system can be recommended. It is important to bring all natural regulatory principles back into harmony. Nutritional recommendations and helpful exercises, as well as specific herbal mixtures tailored according to your needs, support a health-conscious lifestyle. In this way, your natural self-healing abilities can lessen the symptoms as well as the growth of fibroids effectively.
