Uterine Fibroids Symptoms – Easing the Discomfort Using Heat Therapy

Frustrating as it is, your treatment options are somewhat limited if you have uterine fibroids symptoms. What makes it worse is that unless action is taken, fibroids symptoms will not usually disappear until menopause, by which time some women will have been unfortunate to have had fibroids for upwards of 15 years.

Conventional treatment leaves a lot to be desired as although surgery can remove fibroids, unless the actual cause is dealt with, they are likely to return within a few months. There is no satisfactory medication either. Although hormones are sometimes given to shrink fibroids prior to surgery, these can only ever be taken temporarily as they effectively put women through an early menopause, including all the unwelcome symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, drying, thinning skin, lack of sexual desire and the threat of osteoporosis.

If you have been diagnosed with fibroids, you are likely to be suffering from some or all of the following symptoms:-

* Bloating
* Heavy bleeding and/or painful periods
* Pain during intercourse
* Bladder incontinence or frequent urination
* Breathlessness
* Pain in the legs or lower back

One simple way to ease the discomfort of uterine fibroids symptoms is by using heat therapy. Gentle heat can help to relieve the pain of various conditions and for fibroids, it can be very helpful. The heat can not only soothe aches and pains but circulation can also be improved which can encourage the fibroids to begin to break down. Try taking a warm bath and soak for at least 20 minutes, ensuring that your abdomen is fully submerged. Another form of heat therapy is using a heat pad or hot water bottle on the abdomen.

Fibroids are a condition which respond very well to natural remedies and they are an ideal condition to treat because as they are so rarely life-threatening. It makes complete sense to try out a natural treatment for fibroids before resorting to surgery or any of the hormonal drugs which can cause their own side effects.
