Fertility Herb Guide: Uterine Fibroids

Hethir Rodriguez - Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist
July 25, 2021
Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Uterine fibroids are extremely commonโ€ฆ 30% of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s have them. Fibroids develop from a single muscle cell in the wall of the uterus. This cell multiplies and grows forming a hard ball of collagen that can be as tiny as a pea, or as big as a cantaloupe. While doctors understand there needs to be an event that causes that very first muscle cell to divide, the exact cause is unknown. What is known, is that hormonal factors appear to play a role in their growth. Learn about herbs that have traditionally been used to support the body in maintaining a healthy environment within the uterus by promoting hormonal balance.

๐ŸŒฑ One of my favorite ways to support fertility and hormone health is through herbs. 

Over the past 20+ years that I have been an herbalist I have seen what herbs can do to help turn someoneโ€™s health around. 

When it comes to fertility there are a lot of different herbs that you can use. But they all have different actions. There is no one herb that fits all for fertility. 

That is one of the reasons I make herbal blends & formulas. 

Three of my favorite herbs are vitex, maca and shatavari, but they each have different effects on the body. 

So the key to success with fertility herbs is to first figure out what is going on in your body and then you can pick the right herbal formula for you. 

You can do this by charting your fertility (I have a lot of posts about fertility charting on my feed as well as my website) and also paying attention to your period. ๐Ÿฉธ

What most people donโ€™t understand about low progesterone

Many people don't fully grasp the complexities of low progesterone. 

There are three key factors to consider when aiming to support the body's progesterone production. 

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Misconception #1 surrounding progesterone....

It's not widely known that its deficiency is often a result of inadequate ovulation. 

In order for progesterone levels to rise, the body must first ovulate, which triggers the transformation of the follicle into a corpus luteum, responsible for producing progesterone. 

If ovulation doesn't occur, low progesterone is likely to persist since the body doesn't require an increase in progesterone without ovulation.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Misconception #2... the cause of low progesterone can be estrogen dominance.

There is a balance between estrogen and progesterone happening within the body and if there's too much estrogen this can affect a lot of different functions with hormone balance as it pertains to ovulation and progesterone production.

Considering the larger context of the entire fertility cycle is crucial when addressing progesterone production. Instead of solely focusing on supporting it, zooming out and examining all aspects of the cycle is necessary. 

This entails understanding the characteristics of the menstrual period, the length of the follicular and luteal phases, and awareness of ovulation patterns. 

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Misconception # 3 Dietary habits contribute significantly to hormone production and balance within the body. 

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Misconception #4... Another aspect worth exploring is thyroid function, as it can also impact hormone equilibrium. Regular thyroid testing is therefore recommended to assess its influence on hormonal well-being.

What exactly are uterine fibroids? 

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus.

These common benign tumors can vary in size and number, ranging from small pea-sized nodules to large masses that can distort the shape and size of the uterus.

Although the exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, certain factors like hormonal imbalances, genetics, and estrogen levels are believed to play a role in their development.

While some women with uterine fibroids may experience no symptoms at all, others may suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, and various reproductive issues.

Understanding what uterine fibroids are and their potential impact on women's health is crucial for effective management.

๐Ÿฅš In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age. 

Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true. ๐Ÿคฏ

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
โžก๏ธ Proper circulation
โžก๏ธ A healthy fertility cycle
โžก๏ธ Balanced hormones
โžก๏ธ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. 

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an eggโ€™s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. โณ

This journey takes about 90 days. 

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now. 

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI. 

๐Ÿ™‚ The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption butโ€ฆ.

So, how do we deal with this?

First, we cleanse and detoxify the body.

By supporting the body's natural ability to eliminate these compounds and excess hormones, we can significantly alleviate the hormonal imbalance.

The human body is in a constant state of detoxification, eliminating chemicals, excess hormones, and other compounds on a daily basis.

This is a natural process that's intrinsic to our biology.

However, based on my research and experience over the past 15 years, it's become apparent that regular cleanses and daily supportive measures can significantly enhance the body's natural detoxification abilities.

BPA is a major concern when it comes to hormone health, and this is just one of the many compounds found in plastics. 

I know it sounds daunting, but it is well worth  the effort to avoid using plastics containing BPA and other hormone-disrupting chemicals.

There are many alternatives available, such as glass or stainless steel containers and water bottles.

You can also look for products labeled "BPA-free" or "phthalate-free". Taking these small steps can help protect your health and the environment. 

But what can we do about our previous exposure? Cleanse, helping the body  naturally remove toxins. Supporting the liver in its ability is a great way to detoxify toxins like BPA, the Fertility Cleanse is great for this. Also eating a diet rich in whole foods and fiber is awesome as well.
