Prevention and Management
While fibroids cannot always be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk and manage existing ones:
- Maintain a Healthy Diet: Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish. Limit red meat, processed foods, and sugary drinks.
- Exercise Regularly: Staying active helps regulate hormones, reduce stress, and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.
- Regular Checkups: Routine visits to a gynaecologist can help detect fibroids early, even before symptoms appear. Ultrasounds and pelvic exams are key tools in diagnosis.
- Manage Stress: Chronic stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. Practice mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or other stress-reduction techniques to improve overall health.
