Fortunately most women will never know they have fibroids and unless symptoms starts to make themselves noticed there is no need to worry about them. It is thought that around forty percent of the female population is prone to fibroids which are associated with an imbalance of the oestrogen hormone produced by the ovaries. But of the forty percent of women with fibroids they are those who experience great pain and discomfort.

Although fibroids are non cancerous tumours, they can nevertheless create a whole host of other health problems that make life pretty grim. Treatment is available but in those cases where medication fails to be effective, surgery is generally the only other option. For many, surgery comes as a huge relief but it is not always the preferred option of women and more and more look towards more natural alternative to help treat and make living with fibroids that much easier.

Living with fibroids doesn’t have to be burdensome as there are now several measures that you can take to help not only in the prevention of fibroids but also in their growth or further development. The most obvious measure we can take in the prevention of fibroids is that of adopting a healthy way of life. This includes making some all important changes in our diet by avoiding those foods which can be potentially harmful and incorporating regular exercise into our daily routine.

For some once fibroids have been diagnosed living with them becomes much more bearable knowing that the symptoms that had us worrying are caused by something much less harmful than previously feared. Living with fibroids is either something you will just never know or something you can now take control of should you be aware that you have them.
