Hello , I have a few dumb questions. Here's my back story.. I was diagnosed with fibroids last year I am 28 . I had 2 types of fibroids one pedunculate submucosal and a submucosal cluster . The PS one was the size of a baseball and the S cluster was a little smaller . I had 2 surgeries for these last sept. and dec. I have went back into my MD for a check up this july and THEY ARE ALL BaCk !! Both kinda the largest being almost 3 in. When I go in my md always says eat red meat for the iron because of the anemia associated with the fibroids . While browsing the Internet I see articles of foods to avoid with fibroids . Most being avoid hormones in food / meats . I know hormones and estrogen make fibroids grow. How much of a role does that really play in the growth ? I will admit i eat more pork then the average person ( 1 grilled pork chop a night ) mmmmm... I have been trying to avoid hormone filled meats and foods but it is hard. am I just wasting my time and money ??? Or is avoiding these foods actually making a difference ?? Any advice would help , thanks
Hi sara! Don t give up on your battle with the fibroids. Do they cause you any discomfort? Are you flooding in your period? Are you bloated? Have back pain? Anyway, right now i am on a diet trying to shrink my fibs while eating only veggies. Needless to say, i don t know if it will work. However in every book read they advice us not to eat beef and pork. In contrast to your habit, i have given up pork 3 years now. Don t like it. Too fat. My fibs did not grow and have the same size for 2 years. I usully eat spinich a lot good for iron too, parsley and green leaf plants.
Thanks I will start trying spinach that sounds good . Yes lots of pain during my period . It went away for a while but is comeing back . And as for my periods I usto have to call out of work for a full week there was literally no way to go to work at all it is not as bad now but if I let the new ones go I am afraid it will return to the extreamly heavy flow like before . I actually had to quit my job because I was passing out behind the cash register to often . I now have a sit down job which actually made it worse because I have gained 30 lbs and my MD says that fat produces hormones and will make them grow. I will start eating more veggies and less meat . For sure . Did you take any medication to shrink yours at all ? Or are you just monitoring them to make sure they do not grow ?
Hello!
I don t take any meds because my period is very light and except for feeling bloated and very t
Very tired bc fibroids eat a lot of iron. Right now i know they are there but only monitoring them.
