Uterine fibroids are common benign, non-cancerous growths made of muscle and fibrous connective tissue arising in the uterus. Uterine fibroids mostly affect women of childbearing age. A single or multiple fibroids may appear and the location may vary from case to case.
There is a highly impressive treatment in homeopathy for uterine fibroids. Initially homeopathic medicines aim to offer symptomatic relief in uterine fibroids. Symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, frequent periods, painful periods and pelvic pain are wonderfully allayed with these medicines. Later, these medicines dissolve the fibroids gradually. The modern system of medicine considers uterine fibroids as a surgical disease but there are always chances of uterine fibroids reappearing after surgery. On the other hand, homeopathic medicines through individualized approach work marvellously to the extent that they can even do away with the need for surgery in fibroids of mild to moderate size. Besides the above, infertility due to uterine fibroids can be treated with regular homeopathic treatment under the guidance of a homeopath with proper follow-ups.
Homeopathy fixes root cause
It is very necessary that in order to cure any disease the underlying cause be addressed. An imbalance in female hormones is the basic cause behind the growth of fibroids. Homeopathy tends to work on resolving the root cause that has caused fibroids to manifest itself and help stop further growth and aid shrinking of fibroids. Usually birth control pills are prescribed in conventional mode that only manages the symptoms and does not cure the disease and after discontinuing these hormonal pills the menstrual irregularity worsens. On the other hand homeopathy in addition to managing symptoms also helps in shrinking fibroids aiding toward cure.
Prescription as per characteristic symptoms
Homeopathy does not support the use of a specific medicine that can be prescribed in every case of uterine fibroids after ascertaining the diagnosis. Rather homeopathic medicines are prescribed by taking into consideration the peculiar characteristic symptoms of the patient. This is the key to finding the most suitable homeopathic medicine for any given case to bring recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the various types of uterine fibroids?
There are three types of uterine fibroids – subserosal fibroids, submucosal fibroids, and intramural fibroids. Subserosal fibroids grow outside the uterus wall. The submucosal fibroids grow inside the uterus. The intramural fibroids grow between the uterus muscles.
2. At what age are women more likely to get uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroids mainly affect women around the age of 30–40 years. Fibroids tend to decrease in size after menopause.
3. What causes uterine fibroids to form?
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not yet known though a woman with a positive family history of uterine fibroids is at a higher risk. The appearance of uterine fibroids during childbearing age suggests that female hormones estrogen and progesterone play a key role in their formation. Obesity is another factor that puts women at a higher risk of developing uterine fibroids.
4. How can I tell I have uterine fibroids, are there any overt symptoms?
Small fibroids may not show any symptoms at all. When uterine fibroids are large, they cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, prolonged periods, frequent periods, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, constipation, painful defecation (passing stool) and lower back pain.
5. What does investigation of uterine fibroids involve?
An ultrasound of the pelvis helps diagnose uterine fibroids. It will reveal the number, location, and size of the uterine fibroids.
6. I have had heavy menses for months now. Could it be due to uterine fibroids?
Heavy bleeding during menses is one of the key symptoms of uterine fibroids. However, heavy menstrual bleeding may also arise from other causes. Few other causes of heavy menstrual bleeding include endometriosis, uterine polyps and adenomyosis. Final diagnosis may require further investigation.

What is the best homeopathic remedy to get rid of calcified fibroids?
AOA,
I am Naheed from Lahore Pakistan.I h’ve all three types of fibroids.The largest is 12cm in diameter.I am experiencing heavy bleeding with clots for past 6-7 years .Since two months I h’ve non stop menses .My HB has dropped to 7 and now maybe even less.
Right now I am desperate . What should I do to stop bleeding
Hello Dr Sharma,
I am currently experiencing since 2020 a diagnosis of having a fibroid the size of a golf ball. I’m due to get a pelvic ultrasound but from 2020-current I have experienced prolonged excessive bleeding, I have had to move to poise pads and the bleeding is still to heavy, I literally have to wear three at a time, blood clots about the size of my fist to the size of a half dollar, cramping, severe pain. I barely can get out of my bed and have to be near my shower at all times. I am anemic and experiencing vertigo, imbalance and fatigue. I have altered my eating and occasionally have white meat, but due to the heavy bleeding and pain it’s hard for me to work out or exercise because as soon as I get up it feels like my insides are being ripped due to the passing of large blood clots pouring out like water. Please tell me which medicines can help. I take a natural herb remedy and have found that red clover, black cohosh and pecoyote sometimes work instantly to stop the blood flow but lately I get maybe a few hours break from bleeding and then it’s back heavier than before.
Hi Dr Sharma,
I’ve been suffering from heavy mense and anemia (caused by multiple fibroids inc 1 that enlarges whenever under stress. It also feels hard or stoney) for a number of years now..
The one most bothersome symptom i have in particular with mine is that it causes extreme exhaustion.
Usually during the initial onset, I already know my mense is on its way because the day before it starts, I feel an exhaustion that overtakes me. I mean to say, it drains all of my power. I suddenly feel like an ailling old lady. I know on that day in particular, I cannot do anything but rest entirely because when I move alot, it tends to increase or cause me excess cramps. This follows up with my first mense day being a day full of very heavy flow.
I am 45 years of age. My height is 4’12” & weight is 117 lbs.
My mense bleeding usually lasts 2 days average (3 days max) with 1st day being the heaviest.
I’m very interested in seeing how those herbs, China Officinalis & Ferrum Met could help me with mine. I noticed in the article, it mentions, it helps with “exhaustion” in particular.
Thank You So Very Much !
I am 52 years old, with a very large fibroid, that doesn’t really cause any problems except for really heavy bleeding with clots. My period lasts for about 5 days, two of those being extremely heavy bleeding. I also get intense hip pain on my left side during my cycle. The fibroid is large enough that I can see it in my lower abdomen. I’m curious what homeopathic remedy you might suggest?
Thank you so much!
Your article says that the exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown. However, I read elsewhere that adrenal glands play a role. When a woman is under a lot of stress, that stresses the adrenal glands. They produce less progesterone. So low levels of progesterone causes an imbalance with estrogen, resulting in fibroid growth. So applying wild yam cream (that contains natural progesterone) to your wrists can help restore that balance. Also removing or resolving the stress.
