Fibroid symptoms are common in 50% of women with uterine fibroids, and can range from mild to severe.
The most common symptoms of uterine fibroid tumors include:

• Pelvic pain - large fibroids can put pressure on the other pelvic organs, causing pain and discomfort
• Heavy periods - this affects about 33% of women with fibroids, and can lead to significant monthly blood loss and even anemia
• Bleeding in between periods - this can range from spotting to a significant amount of blood
• Painful intercourse - if a fibroid is growing near the cervix, this can cause pain while having sex
• Digestive complaints - large fibroids pressing on the intestines can cause constipation, IBS symptoms and painful bowel movements
• Frequent need to urinate - a large fibroid pressing on the bladder can reduce the bladder's capacity, making you want to urinate more often
• Bloating - fibroids are often accompanied by inflammation of the uterus, or a particularly large fibroid can make some women appear pregnant
• Infertility - fibroids that grow within the wall of the uterus (submucosal fibroids) can make implantation difficult, resulting in difficulties in getting pregnant with fibroids

It is possible to reduce the symptoms of fibroids, simply by avoiding the foods and substances that cause fibroids to grow out of control.
Although many foods, cosmetics and cleaning substances contain chemicals that encourage the growth of fibroids, there are cost-effective alternatives that will stop fibroids from growing and manage the symptoms of fibroids.
Combining these dietary and lifestyle changes with herbal remedies for fibroids can help you shrink fibroids, and reduce fibroid symptoms significantly.
The main types of herbal remedies for fibroids include those that cleanse the body of the chemicals that cause fibroid tumors to grow, and those herbs that work proactively in shrinking fibroids, and reducing the symptoms of fibroids for example, the FibroidClear formulation.
