How we heal women with fibroids...

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They vary in size and number, and while some women experience no symptoms, others may face significant health challenges.

Symptoms of Fibroids:
✔️ Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding – Can lead to anemia and fatigue.
✔️ Pelvic Pain or Pressure – Discomfort due to the size and location of fibroids.
✔️ Frequent Urination – Fibroids pressing on the bladder can cause urgency.
✔️ Pain During Intercourse – Depending on fibroid location.
✔️ Lower Back Pain – Caused by large fibroids pressing on nerves.
✔️ Difficulty Getting Pregnant or Pregnancy Complications – In some cases, fibroids can interfere with fertility.

Causes of Fibroids:
🔹 Hormonal Factors – Estrogen and progesterone promote fibroid growth.
🔹 Genetics – A family history increases the risk.
🔹 Obesity & Diet – Higher body fat can influence hormone levels.
🔹 Race & Ethnicity – African American women have a higher risk of developing fibroids.
