Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for Fibroids in NJ.
If you are looking for natural fibroid treatment, you have come to the right place. If you have fibroids while TTC or think fibroids may be keeping you from getting pregnant, you have landed in the right place. In general, fibroids don’t keep women from conceiving, because I’m sure you know women who have conceived and went on to have healthy live births with fibroids…I know I do.
However, you should consider that there is a certain environment in the uterus and body as a whole that is conducive to the growth of things that don’t belong there, fibroids, cysts, polys, etc. This is the foundation of how we treat at Hackensack Family Acupuncture & Wellness. Our combination of gentle acupuncture and natural herbal medicine works to change the environment in the uterus and the body to a place that is NOT conducive to growing fibroids, but IS conducive to growing an embryo.
Have more questions? We have an appointment for that. You can book a free consultation, come into the office and ask. We are happy to answer.
How can I shrink fibroids naturally?
What are fibroids?
Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop on or around the uterus. These growths typically develop in women of childbearing age and usually naturally shrink after the transition to menopause.
The root cause of fibroids isn’t well understood in western medicine, but Chinese Medicine always gets to the root cause by finding the imbalance and using all available modalities to treat this root cause. You may also be at a greater risk for these abnormal uterine growths if you have an imbalance in your estrogen or progesterone hormones.
In our experience, there is also frequently a metabolic component to the growth and proliferation of fibroids. We will use your Initial Consultation appointment to find out what the root cause is for you, as it can be different for different women. We then use acupuncture, which is a 100% natural treatment, to relieve the pain and other symptoms fibroids can cause, as well as repair the root cause of why fibroids are growing in the first place. This causes fibroids to shrink on their own. This is how you can shrink fibroids naturally.
When should I seek natural treatment for fibroids?
For some women, fibroids can grow large enough to cause pelvic pain and uterine deformities, and make conceiving difficult. Your should seek treatment as soon as you are diagnosed.
Some of the symptoms of fibroids may lead you to seek support, including:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding, eventually leading to anemia
- Periods that last longer than a week
- Frequent urination
- Pain during sex
- Lower back and abdominal pain
At your initial evaluation, we ask the right questions to learn more about your medical history, lifestyle, and diet to create a treatment plan for your needs. We typically recommend weekly acupuncture and herbal medicine to address fibroids and the symptoms they cause, including infertility.
How does acupuncture treat fibroids?
Our Doctors of Chinese Medicine (DACM) use acupuncture to restore blood flow and life’s energy force (qi) throughout the body in the treatment of fibroids.
The acupuncture techniques we use can reduce the growth of abnormal cells that contribute to fibroids. Treatment involves the insertion of fine needles into different points (meridians) of the body to stimulate blood circulation, correct hormonal imbalances, relieve pain, and promote a deep sense of relaxation.
We also use Chinese herbs and supplements in combination with acupuncture therapy to restore your reproductive health. Certain herbs are effective at shrinking fibroid tissue, improving hormone signaling, balancing hormone, and improving endometrial receptivity.
If you have very large fibroids, you may find that the treatment you receive helps you avoid fibroid surgery. If you’ve already had surgery, our natural fibroid treatment will keep the fibroids from returning, as they typically do.
You can use our online booking to schedule a free consultation to further discuss how acupuncture & herbal medicine can help balance your hormone and help you conceive, avoid surgery, or reduce the chances of your fibroids returning.
