Top Homeopathic medicines for Heavy Bleeding from Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths made of muscle and connective tissue developing in the uterus. These can lead to various symptoms among which heavy menses is the most important. Heavy menses means bleeding more than the typical menstrual blood loss or passing of large clots frequently in bleeding which may last for more than 7 days. Heavy and prolonged menses is medically known as menorrhagia. Other symptoms of uterine fibroids include prolonged periods, clots in the menstrual blood, menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, bleeding in between the periods, frequent urination, painful intercourse, back pain, pain in legs, miscarriage and infertility.

There may be many reasons for heavy bleeding from uterine fibroids. These include fibroids that may put pressure on the uterine lining or cause growth of the blood vessels that tends to cause excessive bleeding. Fibroids may also interfere with normal contraction of the uterus resulting in excessive bleeding. Additionally, fibroids may cause an increase in some hormones (prostaglandins) that might lead to heavy bleeding. Bleeding from fibroids depends on the location of fibroids. The fibroids that grow inside the inner lining of the uterus tend to cause the most heavy bleeding. Bleeding may be so heavy that it interferes with doing daily activities. Heavy bleeding may lead to tiredness, dizziness and anemia (a condition in which blood lacks enough red blood cells to carry adequate amount of oxygen to body tissues).
