Fibroids [uterine leiomyomas] are fairly common, non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
However, they can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and reproductive issues.
Conventional treatments include medication and surgery, but homeopathy can offer a more natural, long term approach to fibroids and the susceptibility to develop them.

Heredity & Susceptibility

There is evidence to suggest that you may be more likely to develop fibroids if your mother had them. They can have a genetic component and studies have shown that a family history of fibroids increases the likelihood of developing them. Specifically, women whose mothers or sisters had fibroids are more likely to develop them themselves.
Miasmatic homeopathic prescribing may be needed to resolve this hereditary tendency to fibroids.

Factors Influencing Fibroid Development

1. Genetic Predisposition: If your mother or close relatives have had fibroids, your risk of developing them is higher. Miasmatic homeopathy may be able to resolve the underlying tendency in the family.

2. Hormonal Factors: Estrogen and progesterone, hormones that stimulate the development of the uterine lining during each menstrual cycle, appear to promote the growth of fibroids. Homeopathy helps the body to resolve fibroids by addressing hormonal imbalances.

3. Ethnicity: African-American women are more likely to develop fibroids than women of other ethnicities. Additionally, they tend to develop them at a younger age and have more severe symptoms. Miasmatic prescribing may help to resolve this susceptibility.

4. Age: Fibroids are more common in women in their 30s and 40s through menopause.

5. Lifestyle and Health Factors: Obesity, diet, and lifestyle can also play a role in the development of fibroids. For instance, a diet high in red meat and low in green vegetables, fruit, and dairy may increase the risk.

What Homeopathy Has To Offer

I'm going to describe some of the most commonly recommended homeopathic remedies for fibroids, but because homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine and fibroids are a chronic, constitutional issue, it is ideal to see a homeopath rather than trying to treat yourself.

Homeopathic remedies are tailored to individual symptoms and overall constitution and a combination of miasmatic prescribing, constitutional prescribing and palliative prescribing is often used. Palliative prescribing may be needed when treating fibroids to maintain the woman's health whilst constitutional and miasmatic homeopathy helps her body resolve the fundamental, underlying causes. ie. She may need homeopathic support for pain and to help with anaemia.

Homeopathy uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. Due to its dilution, it is incredibly safe, even though we often use poisons.
The choice of remedy is based on the principle of "like cures like," where substances that cause symptoms in a healthy person can, in small doses, treat similar symptoms in illness. Your body is producing all your symptoms in an attempt to rebalance itself. By suppressing the symptoms you maintain the illness and may drive it deeper into the body. By using homeopathy, giving a similar stimulation to the body which supports what the body is trying to do to heal, we are able to help your body make more progress with healing.

Adjustments to the remedies or dosage may be necessary and it may take a while to get the right remedy match. It is very worth persisting and following up with your homeopath regularly, even if you are not initially seeing great improvements.

4. Complementary Approach: Homeopathy can be used alongside conventional treatments. You might like to inform your healthcare provider about any homeopathic remedies you are taking, but be reassured that homeopathic remedies will not interfere with conventional treatments and are not contraindicated with any medications.
