About uterine fibroids
Fibroids vary from tiny seedlings to large masses. They are named by position: within the wall (intramural), on the outside (subserosal) or bulging into the uterine cavity (submucosal). A submucosal fibroid, even a small one, can cause heavy bleeding and affect fertility, while a large outer one may press on the bladder or bowel.
Many fibroids do not need treatment and shrink after menopause. Treatment is considered when they cause heavy bleeding, pain, pressure symptoms or problems with conceiving, and your gynaecologist can explain the medical and surgical options.
Common symptoms of uterine fibroids
Symptoms vary from person to person. Common ones include:
- Heavy or prolonged periods, sometimes with clots
- Pelvic pressure, heaviness or a swollen lower abdomen
- Frequent need to pass urine
- Constipation and a feeling of fullness
- Pain or discomfort in the lower back or pelvis
- Pain during intercourse
- Tiredness, breathlessness and pallor from anaemia
- Difficulty in conceiving or repeated miscarriage in some women
Causes and risk factors of uterine fibroids
There is rarely a single cause. Factors that may contribute include:
- The hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which stimulate fibroid growth
- A family history of fibroids
- Age between about 30 and 50
- Excess weight
- Starting periods at an early age
- Not having had children
- Low vitamin D levels
- Long-term stress and a diet high in red meat and low in vegetables
Warning signs and when to get urgent help
Please go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately if there is:
- Very heavy bleeding that soaks through a pad every hour, or bleeding with dizziness or fainting
- Sudden, severe pelvic pain, especially with fever or vomiting
- Being unable to pass urine
- Bleeding after menopause, or bleeding between periods that persists
- A rapidly enlarging abdomen, or severe tiredness and breathlessness from anaemia

Homeopathic treatment of uterine fibroids at Welling Homeopathy
These are only basic indications – many more homeopathic medicines are used for uterine fibroids, and the right one is chosen after detailed case-taking by an experienced doctor.
Homeopathy is offered here as individualised, supportive care alongside your current treatment. Reliable scientific evidence that homeopathy treats uterine fibroids is limited, so it should not replace a medical diagnosis or any treatment your doctor considers necessary. Please do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it and with our specialists.
Meet our specialists to find your personal best homeopathic remedy and a care plan that supports your recovery. Please do not delay: the earlier you begin, the better. Read about our homeopathic care for uterine fibroids, contact a Welling clinic or call +91 80 80 850 950 for a consultation in person or online.
Self-care and lifestyle tips
These measures support general health and may ease symptoms, but they do not replace treatment when it is needed.
- Eat iron-rich food such as green leafy vegetables, beetroot, dates, jaggery, pulses and nuts, with vitamin C to help absorption.
- Ask your doctor to check your haemoglobin and iron levels, and to advise supplements if needed.
- Keep a healthy weight and exercise regularly.
- Maintain adequate vitamin D through safe sun exposure and diet, as your doctor advises.
- Keep a period diary to track the amount and length of bleeding.
- Attend ultrasound follow-ups as advised to watch the size of the fibroids.
Frequently asked questions about uterine fibroids
1. What is the best homeopathic medicine for fibroids?
There is no single best medicine. Calcarea carbonica, Sepia, Thuja and Phosphorus are among those traditionally considered, but the right one depends on your symptoms, bleeding pattern and general health. Please consult our specialists rather than self-prescribing.
2. Can homeopathy dissolve fibroids?
Homeopathy is offered as supportive care to ease symptoms. Results vary and reliable evidence that it shrinks fibroids is limited, so we do not make that claim.
3. Are uterine fibroids cancerous?
Almost always not. Fibroids are benign, and cancer in a fibroid is very rare, but rapid growth or bleeding after menopause should be assessed promptly.
4. Do fibroids affect pregnancy?
Some fibroids, especially those that bulge into the uterine cavity, can make it harder to conceive or increase the chance of miscarriage, while many women with fibroids have a normal pregnancy.
5. Do all fibroids need surgery?
No. Fibroids that cause no problems may only need monitoring. Treatment is considered for heavy bleeding, pain, pressure or fertility problems, and your gynaecologist can discuss options.
6. Will fibroids shrink after menopause?
They usually shrink after menopause as hormone levels fall, but they can still cause symptoms until then.
7. How do I book a consultation?
Call +91 80 80 850 950 to book a 1:1 consultation at a Welling clinic or online. Please bring your ultrasound reports.
