Hi guys just wondering if anyone else here deals with Fibroids? I had them very bad about seven years ago, I bleed heavily for over a year strait until I found a doctor who would do a Uterine Fibroid Embolism on 27 year old. The procedure worked great but was definitely extremely painful. I’m now 37 and am just recently having issues again including very frequent bathroom breaks and a very puffy belly. My doctor did an ultrasound and saw that the fibroids did grow? I have four and the largest is over 5cm. I see her again in a few weeks but I would love suggestions. Is getting another UFE worth it? Is getting a hysterectomy at 37 something you would do? I should mention that I do not want kids. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

HeartsinPain...I had fibroids many years ago and procedures were not what they are today. I had surgery at the time to remove them and never had a reoccurrence. I did not get a hysterectomy at the time because I wanted to have children . I suppose the best thing to do is have a discussion with your doctor and decide what the best route would be for you.

One option to investigate is the use of systemic proteolytic enzymes:

They would need to be taken on an empty stomach, at least an hour away from food.

CAUTION: In some cases, such supplements can be contraindicated. Thus, you would want to first discuss their use with a qualified healthcare provider, should you be interested in trying them.

Curious, do you have bartonella? I have read in veterinary literature, in particular, it is known to cause all sorts of issues in the reproductive system. If you do have bartonella, what have you done so far in regards to treatment?

Hi I’m not sure I have Bartonella (my blood test was negative) but am guessing I do. I also had fibroid issues ten years ago. At that point the doctor told me I was the second youngest person he’s seen with this bad of an issue. I was 27 at the time. For treatments I have done nine months of antibiotics, a year and a half of the Cowden protocol and am currently on Houttuynia and Sida Acura for six months. I really wish more research was done for people like us!
