Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren&#8217;t associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Uterine fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus (myometrium). A single cell divides repeatedly, eventually creating a firm, rubbery mass distinct from nearby tissue. The growth patterns of uterine fibroids vary &#8211; they may grow slowly or rapidly, or they may remain the same size. Some fibroids go through growth spurts, and some may shrink on their own. Many fibroids that have been present during pregnancy shrink or disappear after pregnancy, as the uterus goes back to a normal size.<\/p>\n<p>Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. They can be single or multiple, in extreme cases expanding the uterus so much that it reaches the rib cage.<\/p>\n<p>As many as 3 out of 4 women have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives, but most are unaware of them because they often cause no symptoms. Your doctor may discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.<\/p>\n<p>In women who have symptoms, the most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy menstrual bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Prolonged menstrual periods &#8211; seven days or more of menstrual bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Pelvic pressure or pain<\/li>\n<li>Frequent urination<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty emptying your bladder<\/li>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Backache or leg pains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you know you have\u00a0fibroids, you can work with your\u00a0conventional medical and complementary medicine practitioners to\u00a0treat the condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Complementary Medicine\u00a0Evaluation\u00a0for Fibroids<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When working with\u00a0Uterine Fibroids at the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine we first provide the Natural Health Care Exam.\u00a0This exam evaluates function rather than using the diagnostic techniques offered by Medical Doctors.\u00a0 This evaluation complements the conventional medical care provided by\u00a0practitioners such as MDs and Nurse Practitioners. It is important for clients with Uterine Fibroids to have an official diagnosis from their Medical Doctor or Nurse practitioner.In\u00a0treating\u00a0Uterine Fibroids\u00a0naturally the\u00a0practitioner assess the\u00a0body with natural theories, recommends natural remedies to shrink the fibroids,\u00a0and\u00a0focuses on the filtration mechanisms of the body through the kidneys\u00a0or liver.\u00a0 Although conventional medical techniques may show there are no abnormalities in the filtration systems the natural health care exam reveals sub clinical weaknesses that do not show up on conventional tests.\u00a0 This is based upon function rather than disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About the Natural Health Exam<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The natural health exam is a comprehensive study of the human body using observation\u00a0skills\u00a0from the Orient and Europe. It is a preventative approach focusing on organ system efficiency and cleansing. Its goal is to heal the internal workings of the human body rather than just treating symptoms. By improving the condition of the organs and tissues, symptoms will begin to dissipate and as a result the body becomes stronger.<\/p>\n<p>The natural health exam looks for imbalances prior to and during a disease state. These imbalances point the practitioner in the proper direction for healing the areas of concern. It also helps with disease prevention. These methods\u00a0augment conventional medical care.\u00a0The components of a natural health exam provided at the Washington Institute are:<\/p>\n<p>Client History<\/p>\n<p>Hara Study<\/p>\n<p>Iridology<\/p>\n<p>Pulse Reading<\/p>\n<p>Visual\/Face Observation<\/p>\n<p>Kinesiology<\/p>\n<p>Bio-Energy Field Testing<\/p>\n<p>Remedy Testing\/Selection<\/p>\n<p>Homeopathic Remedies, Herbal, Aromatherapy, or Supplement Recommendations<\/p>\n<p><strong>After an exam is completed there are\u00a0<u>additional therapies<\/u>\u00a0can be added to intensify the power of the natural remedies such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lymphatic Drainage\u00a0Massage<\/p>\n<p>Chakra Balancing with Guided Imagery<\/p>\n<p>Detox Massage<\/p>\n<p>Acupressure or Acupuncture<\/p>\n<p>Reflexology Foot Therapy<\/p>\n<p>Reiki\u00a0Energy Work<\/p>\n<p>For an evaluation and exam ask for Dr. Victoria Goldsten, HD<\/p>\n<p><u>About Dr. Goldsten<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Victoria Goldsten, HD,\u00a0has been caring for the sick since 1973.
