Uterine Fibroids: Medical Treatment Side Effects and Benefits of Natural Healing Methods

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:22:16 +0000

If you, or someone you care about, has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you’re probably looking for medication or natural fibroid treatment alternatives to ease the discomfort and pain. You may even be considering treatment or surgery as a cure. Since surgery is very invasive and can include a complete hysterectomy, many women choose to watch and wait to see if their fibroids grow larger before deciding a path for treatment.

Most uterine fibroids grow very slowly, making the watch and wait method a valid option allowing doctors to postpone treatment or surgery in some cases. However, the watch and wait (or postponing) method also means living with the discomfort and pain of uterine fibroids. For older women, waiting may make sense as following menopause, most fibroids will decrease in size by about 35 per cent without the use of expensive treatments and this makes them easier to remove surgically. So unless your menopausal, the question is what are you watching and waiting for? Theye are not going to reduce in size. If you are in this position then it means you have time to look at alternatives.

Fortunately, there are other natural uterine fibroid treatment alternatives available. Natural treatment options that don’t include expensive conventional medications, treatments and invasive surgeries to cure uterine fibroids.

There is no medication currently available to prevent the formation of uterine fibroids or to permanently shrink them once they’ve formed. There are a few conventional medications that can temporarily shut off the ability of the ovaries to produce estrogen; a hormone that can make fibroids grow larger. These medications have potentially serious adverse side effects and can take up to three months to work. Other medications like ibuprofen and other mild pain relievers are used to control mild to moderate pain related to fibroids. Some side effects of these medications include heavy bleeding, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, headaches, muscle or joint pain, fluid retention, mood swings, trouble sleeping, depression and sexual side effects. Some medications may also cause significant bone loss leading to osteoporosis. These medications are intended for short term use and should not be used for more than six months.

Some traditional, herbal and dietary supplement remedies can reduce the size of the fibroids or even make them disappear entirely. But most require continued use, can be very expensive over time, there can be side effects and the root cause is not being dealt with.

There is, however, a natural alternative that will prevent you from developing uterine fibroids or help eliminate them after they have begun to form. In some cases, simple dietary changes can help reduce the size of uterine fibroids. There are natural and holistic treatment alternatives to help start your body’s natural healing process to rid itself of uterine fibroids once and for all. Eventually you can be totally fibroid free and learn to stay that way by changing your habits.

Who wants to deal with harmful side effects that could limit your ability to lead a normal, healthy life or even to have children? Especially when these conventional treatments can easily be avoided just by learning more about the natural and holistic treatment alternatives for uterine fibroids.

The masticatory muscles (temporalis, masseter, lateral pterygoid, and medial pterygoid) are responsible for movement and stabilization of the TMJ. Bruxism: Due to stress, people often develop bruxism. Bruxism is a pathological clenching and grinding of teeth that usually occurs during sleep.

First, let’s quickly review how medical massage therapy affects the arterial blood pressure in patients with EH. There are three major mechanisms which massage practitioners should use to help patients with hypertension: Balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, vasodilate the vertebral arteries and reduce peripheral vascular resistance. These three mechanisms are intimately correlated, hence the need to discuss them together as parts of the same process. Vertebral arteries arise from the subclavian arteries. They ascend through the cervical vertebrae and enter the skull where they unite to form the basilar artery, supplying the posterior part of the brain. The vertebral arteries also give off two important arterial branches that supply the entire spinal cord: The anterior spinal artery and two posterior spinal arteries. The pathway of the vertebral arteries through the cervical vertebrae is quite complex. The transverse process of each cervical vertebra has a special opening called the transverse foramen through which the vertebral artery passes. Cervical vertebrae are positioned on top of one another such …
