What Are UTERINE FIBROIDS? | Symptoms, Causes, and more!

Did you know that 70% of people with periods will develop a fibroid(s) before they reach menopause? Yup, that's right! So if they are that common, why don't we talk about them more? Well, today I am highlighting this common condition and talking about the 3 types of fibroids, symptoms to watch out for, causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. This video is here to help raise awareness of fibroids and intended for educational purposes only. Please consult with your health care provider if you have any health concerns or are experiencing any concerning symptoms.

I have endometriosis so this is very relatable to me.

A great video would be interviews with or a compilation of people who healed their fibroids with lifestyle change. If that's a thing or possible?

Interesting, I love learning about our health. 💖

could you maybe do a video talking about an abnormal pap-smear and what that could mean?

My mother has a bunch of fibroids and it runs in the women in our family. My grandmother and 2 great aunts needed a hysterectomy. I hope my whole food plant based diet is enough to prevent it for me...

My gyno thinks I have them as my periods are so heavy and bad. I take Tranexamic Acid during the really heavy days, but it's still not helping much. I have been waiting for a call for an appointment to get a biopsy done of my uterus. I have been having many pregnancy symptoms and apparently fibroids can cause that! What a strange side effect! Made me sad because I haven't been able to conceive. I've had pcos for most of my life but when the gyno checked my hormones he said that they are in perfect balance so he thinks that I do not have it any longer. I give credit to a vegan diet ;o)

My fibroid grew to over 10", took forever to get surgery.
Obviously I was thankful it was not cancer but it was not a fun 18 months of waiting.
