Thank you for your reply.

Both gynaecologists will not discuss anything that is outside of their medical books. I have tried. My research is primarily from William Wong’s research.

I’m having my fibroid monitored and in the last 6 months it only grew by 2mm. I was having heavy bleeding including clots (and now I take tranexamic acid for one or two days) and my periods are very light and then come off the tranexamic acid and the period last for about 3 more days but is still light, no clots anymore since taking tranexamic acid. I would not take a contraceptive pill for the periods as that would just put more oestrogen into my body and I am trying to reduce my oestrogen intake.

The two gynaecologists I have seen have both said, ‘wait and see’ and I am happy with that, at the moment, but I have a scan every six months to check the size of it followed by a discussion with my gynaecologist two weeks later.

The fibroid does not give me any pain whatsoever. I am 39 years old, my mum went through the menopause at 46, so if it doesn’t grow any bigger from now till I go through the menopause I am happy to just keep on having it monitored.

I would deal with the fibroid using medical intervention if I had to but at the moment I am not having any symptoms so would prefer to try ‘the natural way’ and just see what happens. I’m not a ‘hippy’ kind of person but there are risks with any surgery and at the moment I am not in any pain from it which is why for the time being I thought to try this route.
