Ayurvedic Expert Reveals 4 Real Causes Of Fibroids No One Tells You

The precise cause of uterine fibroids is yet to be completely understood. However, they can be caused by combination of several factors like genetic, hormonal, environmental, estrogen, and progesterone that can stimulate growth. They tend to develop during the reproductive years and shrink post menopause. Uterine fibroids are common noncancerous tumour that can grow in and around the uterus. Small fibroids do not require any treatment, but bigger fibroids have to be cured either with medications or surgery.

According to a report featured in Cleveland Clinic, uterine fibroids are growths made of tissue and muscle that develop in or on the uterus’ wall. The growths are generally non-cancerous and they are one of the most non-cancerous tumour in women.¹

Why Fibroids Grow?

Fibroids can grow as a single nodule (one growth) or in a cluster. The clusters of fibroids can vary in size ranging from 1 millimeter to over 20 centimeters in diameter or even bigger. The can start as small as a seed or get as big as a watermelon. The growth can take place with the uterus’ wall, inside the main cavity of uterus, or on the outer surface of uterus.

Recently, Ayurvedic expert Dimple Jangda took to her Instagram account and highlighted the real causes of fibroids that no one told you. Sharing the post, she said, “When estrogen levels rise without enough progesterone to balance them, it can trigger abnormal tissue growth in the uterus. An overworked liver, a sluggish gallbladder, and a congested gut can all make it harder for your body to eliminate this excess estrogen.” ²

Over time, it builds up, leading to fibroids and other hormonal issues. But there’s a way to change that — let’s uncover how, said the expert.

Real Causes of Fibroids

The expert said, If you are suffering from fibroids, tumour, cyst, endometrial thickness, or hormonal imbalance, then the video given below is for you. Let’s get to the root cause and understand why you are having an estrogen dominance in your body which is leading to fibroids, tumour, and cyst.

1.  Estrogen: She said, “Estrogen is mitogenic which means it helps in growing the tissues in the uterus wall. Progesterone, on the other hand, is protective and balancing in nature. So during the month, if your estrogen levels are high but your progesterone levels are not equally high but low, it leads to an estrogen dominance. That’s number one, hormonal imbalance.

2. Liver: Dimple Jangda said, “number two is your liver. Your liver is the largest detoxifying organ, which helps in detoxifying the used up, digested, undigested estrogen out of the system. But you are having a lot of fat in your diet, which is unhealthy, saturated fats, lots of alcohol, refined sugar, refined flour, your liver is overloaded, and over worked. It does not have time to clean up the estrogen.”

3. Gallbladder: The Ayurvedic said, “number 3 is your gallbladder, which produces bile. The estrogen is supposed to get cleaned up by the liver, sent out with the bile into the stools and out of your system. But, now your gallbladder, which is producing bile, is not getting enough movement because you are sitting all day." That is also causing the bile to become thick and sluggish. Also, lack of fibre in your diet makes your bile thick and sluggish. It can also lead to gallbladder stones in the future that can block the estrogen from leaving your system.

4. Intestines: The expert said, “number 4 is your intestines. Your large intestine and colon is responsible for evacuating all the unused and digested estrogen out of your system. But if you have constipation, indigestion, backed up waste, then that estrogen sits in your gut longer than needed. It gets reabsorbed in your bloodstream, leading to an estrogen dominance in the body, fibroids, tumours, and cyst.”

Now these free floating estrogen is collected by the body in the form of a fibroid and kept in the corner out of harm’s way. That’s your body’s defence mechanism, concluded Dimple Jangda.
