Fibroids are an extremely common problem, affecting many women of reproductive age. They rarely cause problems but when they do, the symptoms some women experience can affect their day to day lives. For others though, the problems might be less obvious. Fibroids can cause fertility problems but you can increase your chances of pregnancy with fibroids by taking a few simple steps.

Fibroids can cause fertility problems because they can block the passage of sperm. They can also affect implantation depending on their size and location. They can also increase the likelihood of miscarriages.

What we eat has a massive impact on all areas of our lives. If you are overweight, this can make you more likely to develop fibroids. Conversely, women who take steps to reduce their weight to a healthy BMI often fibroid that their fibroids also shrink, thus increasing the chances of conception. Try to cut down on sugar, caffeine and alcohol, all of which can aggravate the condition and increase your intake of fibroid-friendly foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, water and organic fruits and vegetables.

Herbs can also help, although if you are trying to become pregnant it is always wise to consult your doctor before taking self-medicating. To increase your chances of pregnancy with fibroids, you could try the following herbs:-

* Chasteberry

Helps to reduce inflammation and thought to reduce estrogen levels

* Red Clover

Can help the liver to excrete excess estrogen and will also boost iron levels

* Motherwort

Good for menstrual pain. Can also rebalance hormonal levels and relax the wall of the uterus

One common cause of fibroids is an excess of estrogen-both natural and in the form of estrogen-mimicking substances known as xenoestrogens. Liver detoxification is one way to help, and to increase your chances of pregnancy with fibroids you might also like to consider alternative therapies such as acupuncture. Practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that this can free stagnated energy and thus help to shrink the fibroids.

Of course, to increase your chances of pregnancy with fibroids, the best solution is to shrink your fibroids completely and there are holistic methods which have proved extremely effective for thousands of women worldwide.

Gail advocates using natural treatments for fibroids rather than using conventional medication or surgery as this is a workable long term solution.  Conventional medication only treats the symptoms and fibroids are likely to regrow, whereas natural treatments, when used properly can eliminate the root cause by rebalancing the body and restoring overall health.
