Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Bonnie, Cheryl The growth of the fibroids is so heavily influenced by the presence of estrogen. Before menopause it may be that shrinkage of fibroids can only happen to a certain extent but after menopause with the drastic reduction of estrogen in our bodies then shrinkage is more achievable. I have been reading a lot about diet and there are so many factors that can influence how much " extra " estrogen is in our blood. One thing that can influence that is how well our livers are eliminating wastes from our bodies. If it is compromised or congested in any way then that can cause problems in most areas of our bodies. This is where drinking plenty of water comes in. The reason why fiber is so important is that fiber will actually bind with estrogen as it is being eliminated and help escort it out of the body. If there is not enough fiber is our diets to carry it out then the estrogen will recycle through our blood stream. Also there are so many hormones in our meat that we eat that it only adds to the problem of putting yet more estrogen in our bodies. Dairy is the same way. Soy milk would be a good substitute. I will let you know how I found this reading. Most of you might enjoy it. I use google as my search engine. I was curious about certain foods and how they may influence the growth of the fibroids so I put in the words miso soup and uterine fibroids herbs and uterine fibroids natural remedies and uterine fibroids liver cleanse and uterine fibroids The articles they brought up were very informative. I am new to all this and just now starting my research. You all may know all of this already but for those that don't, I hope it is helpful.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 I made a comment earlier about replacing cow's milk with soy milk. It seems there is some conflicting information about the benefits of soy milk. Some articles are saying to eliminate soy from the diet for the same reasons for eliminating cow's milk. It pays to gather as much information from as many different sources as possible. Welby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 I understood you were talking about degrees of shrinkage. My opinion was that it would be much harder (though not impossible) to successfully shrink a fibroid before menopause. Just as the combination of factors had to be just right to grow the fibroid, they have to be just right to shrink it. I realize that is an obvious statement.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Well no there is no use arguing and if you are satisfied with waiting it out then you know,I know a really good surgeon whose motto is: " No surgery is the best surgery " I have had fibroids as an issue in my life(on and off) for 20 years when I had my 1st myo.I then had a UAE and then a 2nd myo last July.I have done a lot of reading in 20 years,been on this list group for more than 1 year,and the doctors I've seen could form a small army by now. You may be referring to Tish's mother who did have her fibroids shrink with menopause and I am not saying they do not shrink.I do believe,and Tish could confirm or deny this,that there was not the diagnostic tools like ultra sound or CAT a number of years ago and so size reduction may not have been able to be accurately diagnosed. The important thing is that you are in good health and should your expectations not be realized you could always decide to do something (or not) at that time.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Of course fibroids are influenced by the presence of estrogen and with menopause there should be no more growth and a reductuion in some of the fibroids.What is being discussed is whether a large fibroid can reduce to nothing with menopause and I'm saying that I doubt this,but rather it would go into a state of calcification. I am, having just undergone my 2nd myomectomy at age 50, relying quite a bit on menopause to not have any future growth,so I am most certainly aware of how both estrogen and progesterone influences fibroid growth-its a question of degrees that is being discussed.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 They are no longer active when calcified.Fibroids cannot really be referred to as " foreign bodies " they are part of the myometrium or arise from the myometrium.Sometimes doing nothing is a good solution sometimes fibroids which were never a problem become one.Everyone has to put their picture together for themselves as to what to do and be sure they are talking to a doctor who would consider conservative measures before jumping to the hysterectomy solution should the fibroids become a problem.
