What is 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.
Symptoms of uterine fibroids
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged periods, sometimes with clots
- Pelvic pressure, heaviness or a swollen lower abdomen
- Frequent need to pass urine, and difficulty in emptying the bladder completely
- Constipation and a feeling of fullness
- Pain or discomfort in the lower back or pelvis
- Pain during intercourse
- Tiredness and breathlessness from anaemia
- Difficulty in conceiving or repeated miscarriage in some women
Causes and risk factors of uterine fibroids
Common causes and risk factors 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 diet
How uterine fibroids is diagnosed
Fibroids are diagnosed by examination and tests:
- Pelvic examination
- Pelvic ultrasound (abdominal or transvaginal), the main test
- MRI to map fibroids before treatment, if needed
- Hysteroscopy to look inside the uterine cavity
- Blood tests for haemoglobin and iron
Warning signs: 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
Conventional treatment options
Conventional options include:
- Watchful waiting with ultrasound follow-up for fibroids without symptoms
- Medicines to reduce bleeding, hormonal treatment and iron supplements
- Uterine artery embolisation and other procedures to shrink fibroids
- Myomectomy, which removes the fibroids and keeps the uterus
- Hysterectomy, which removes the uterus completely, and may be an option if you do not want children, medicines do not work and you cannot have other procedures

Frequently asked questions about uterine fibroids
1. What is the homeopathic treatment for fibroids?
Homeopathic treatment is individualised: the medicine is chosen after detailed case-taking, based on your symptoms, bleeding pattern and general health. Calcarea carbonica, Sepia, Thuja and Phosphorus are among those traditionally considered.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Will fibroids shrink after menopause?
They usually shrink after menopause as hormone levels fall, but they can still cause symptoms until then.
6. Can I consult Welling Homeopathy online for fibroids?
Yes. You can share your ultrasound reports and consult our specialists online from anywhere. We have been consulting patients online for 25 years.
7. Which is the best homeopathic medicine for fibroids?
There is no single best homeopathic medicine for fibroids. Calcarea carbonica, Sepia, Thuja, Phosphorus and Trillium pendulum are among the medicines traditionally considered, but the right medicine depends on your symptoms, what brings them on or eases them, your general health and your personality. At Welling Homeopathy our specialists choose it after a detailed case-taking, so please consult them rather than choosing a medicine yourself.
8. How long does homeopathic treatment for fibroids take?
The duration depends on how long you have had fibroids, how severe it is, what treatment you have already taken and your general health. Some people notice a change in their symptoms within weeks, while others need several months of regular follow-up. Your specialist will explain what to expect at your first consultation and review your progress at each follow-up.
9. Is it safe to take homeopathic medicines along with my current medicines for fibroids?
Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted and are not known to interfere with other medicines, but you should always tell your doctor and our specialists about everything you take. Please do not stop, skip or change any prescribed medicine on your own; any change should be discussed with the doctor who prescribed it.

Heavy or prolonged periods, a feeling of pelvic pressure or a swollen lower abdomen, frequent urination and tiredness from anaemia are the usual early signs of fibroids.

Conventional treatment of fibroids uses watchful waiting, medicines to reduce bleeding, procedures such as uterine artery embolisation, myomectomy and hysterectomy.
