Also, if a fibroid is large, it can trigger pressure on the other organs. When a fibroid gets large, it causes Pelvic pain. When a fibroid creates pressure on the bladder, it results in an urge to urinate frequently, even when the bladder is empty. And, when fibroids press one or both the ureters, it blocks the urine flow. At later stage, it can cause kidney infections. In some cases, it may lead to cancer.
Eating foods with anti-inflammatory properties are useful for treating fibroids like rosemary, hops, and cur cumin. Reducing the amount of estrogen in body through maintaining a healthy weight is also good.
There are many Chinese herbs work well for this purpose. And, if the fibroids are small in size and not causing serious problems, then leave them alone and they will shrink naturally during the menopause. But, large fibroids cannot be left alone.
