Symptoms
Always Carry a Bigger Message
There are many treatments available for fibroids,
including drugs, surgery, and the newer high-tech ultrasound treatment known as
ExAblate. Regardless of which one(s) you choose, it's important to understand
that fibroids, like all conditions, don't just jump out of the closet and land
on you (or your uterus). They're a signal from your inner wisdom that something
in your life needs to be addressed. This doesn't mean that you need to obsess
or make a career out of them, but it does mean that you'll be happier and healthier
if you regard them as messengers and then heed the message. (It might be as simple
as losing ten pounds!)
Fibroids
often represent creativity that hasn't been birthed yet, or creativity (such as
a job or relationship) that's being directed down a dead-end path. I've written
about this extensively in both Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of
Menopause. Addressing the lifestyle and mind/body factors that favor fibroid growth
in the first place will also help prevent recurrence. And if you eventually need
a medical procedure for your fibroids, your health will have improved greatly
and you'll heal much faster.
