Tips for Dealing Better with Fibroids

As any woman who has ever suffered from uterine fibroids can tell you, they can be extremely painful. In addition to symptoms like the need to urinate frequently, constipation, heavy menstrual bleeding, or prolonged menstrual periods, fibroids often cause pelvic pressure or pain, backaches, and leg pains. Sometimes this fibroid pain can become acute.


Determine The Type:

There are different treatment measures available for uterine fibroids versus calcified fibroids. Although it may seem like a no-brainer, the tip below (Visit Your Doctor Regularly) will help you with this tip and speed up your overall treatment program exponentially. For instance, if you have a degenerating fibroid, you may require surgery, and it is better to know this earlier than later.


Increased Vitamin D

One of the main reasons African American women are three times more likely to develop fibroids than white women is the genetic predisposition towards less natural vitamin D production in the body. Take a vitamin D supplement every day if recommended by your doctor.

Contact the gynecologist in Indore, for best help.


Consider Options

Fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that an experienced physician conducts to eliminate the primary source of fibroid pain. It does require incisions, but they are small, and there is usually only one needed. You will recover much more quickly and have fewer side effects and pain from this treatment than from some of the more severe treatments you may incur if your situation goes untreated for a long time.


Use a Heating Pad

Although it does not replace a more long-term treatment, a heating pad can be a tremendous short-term relief to fibroid pain in the stomach. Fibroids cause inflammation that can completely immobilize a person, and heating the affected areas will increase mobility. This is especially important for your safety if you are driving by yourself, as some fibroid pains can be so intense as distracting. Invest in a mobile heating pad if you have a life on the go.
