Good day ladies. I am a fellow fibroid survivor. I have recurrent fibroids and had laproscopic surgery just 3 years ago. The fibroids are contributing to urinary frequency, painful periods and infertility. My previous surgery blocked my tubes and the now the fibroids are back. I desperately want children but IVF is so expensive. The journey can be so discouraging but I am trying to navigate the trials the best way I can. Hoping this group will be mutually beneficial. Are there others out there who are having similar troubles?
I just had a Myomectomy on July 19, 2017. I am in recovery. I am doing some research on how diet affects the growth of fibroids. I am wondering if it really does impact anything. My sister eat meats and pastas and rice and has never had fibroids. I am considering taking supplements to help avoid the regrowth of fibroids. What type of diet are you having? Just curious. I am asian so I have a lot of rice and noodles. I also love pasta and breads and red meat. For now I am going to cut out red meat. I am 37 years old but I think my fibroids started when I was around 27 years old. So there is a 10 year growth period. My fibroids were 6 cm and one was in my uterus the shape of a small soft ball.
