Fibroids are noncancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. While fibroids do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to problems for some women, including pain and heavy bleeding.

Fibroids range greatly in size from very tiny (a quarter of an inch) too larger than a papaya (10 inches or more). In some cases, they can cause the uterus to grow to the size of a five-month pregnancy and the woman looks as though she is pregnant. In most cases, there is more than one fibroid in the uterus.

  • @nicolewise10 cont. honestly, i think juicing fruits and vegetables will be best (it's costly but ones health is more important....just my opinion, i Pray and wish the very best for you:)~

  • @nicolewise10 i really hope someone replied to your question.. in my opinion i think you can, i know several people that had quite a bit and had the procedure...the biggest thing that would help you is to change your eating totally..for a few months go on a strict fruits and vegetable diet, with lots of water and watch them shrink over time, in my opinion only..(consult a physician):)~

  • I am 41, never have children and i have 5 fibroids including a big one 5.6 cm. Would it be too dificult for me to get that treatment if i have that so many ?
