Can I Prevent Uterine Fibroids at Home?

Unfortunately, no one can prevent fibroids altogether. Some risk factors — such as hormonal changes and a family history of fibroids — are out of our control. However, you can reduce your risk of developing the condition using several natural remedies. If you already have fibroids, you can also use these remedies to alleviate your symptoms in the short term.

How to Shrink Fibroids Naturally

Studies have found several lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of developing fibroids and lessen your fibroid symptoms. Some home remedies for uterine fibroids include:

  • Lowering your blood pressure: Women with low blood pressure are less likely to develop fibroids in their childbearing years. You can lower your blood pressure by limiting your sodium intake, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating more potassium-rich foods.
  • Balancing your estrogen naturally: Excess estrogen is linked to fibroid growth. To manage your hormone levels, you should avoid contact with fertilizers, pesticides, dyes, paints, and similar chemicals. Use only organic makeup and beauty products. You can also try essential oils like frankincense and thyme to lower your estrogen levels naturally.
  • Exercising: Regularly exercising can lower your chances of developing fibroids and relieve your symptoms if you already have them. Consistent exercise offers a host of benefits related to fibroids, such as reducing blood pressure, managing weight, and balancing hormones.
  • Taking your vitamins: Vitamin D has been shown to significantly reduce fibroid symptoms and lessen the risk of developing the condition. Talk to your doctor about adding a vitamin D supplement to reduce your chances of developing fibroids. You can also discuss taking vitex, milk thistle, B-complex, and fish oil to balance your hormones.

Ways to Prevent Fibroids With Your Diet

Your diet plays a significant role in fibroids growth. While you can’t completely prevent fibroids, you can reduce your risk and manage existing symptoms by regularly eating the following foods:

  • Leafy green vegetables
  • Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage
  • Iron-rich foods
  • Whole grains
  • Organic foods
  • Flaxseeds
  • Fresh fruit
  • Legumes

Likewise, certain foods and drinks can increase your chances of getting fibroids or worsen your fibroid symptoms. Limit or altogether avoid the following:

  • Alcohol
  • Red meats such as beef, lamb and ham
  • Non-organic dairy
  • Sugary foods
  • Caffeine
