Fibroids

What Are Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often during the reproductive years. While common, they can vary greatly in size, number, and how they affect each person. Some women experience no symptoms, while others face heavy bleeding, pain, pressure, bloating, or fertility challenges. At MNMC, we understand how disruptive fibroids can be, not just physically, but emotionally too. We’re here to look beyond the surface and support you with a personalised approach that addresses what’s driving their growth and how to ease your symptoms naturally.

Common Signs and Symptoms

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Bloating or abdominal fullness
• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Pain during intercourse
• Fatigue (often due to low iron from heavy periods)
• Fertility issues or difficulty falling pregnant

Root Causes and Contributing Factors

Fibroid growth is often influenced by hormonal imbalances, particularly excess oestrogen or poor oestrogen clearance. Other contributing factors can include inflammation, insulin resistance, poor liver function, gut dysbiosis, toxin exposure and chronic stress. We take a whole person view to understand how these systems interact and what may be creating an internal environment that encourages fibroid development or symptom flare-ups.

How We Can Help at MNMC

At MNMC, our approach to fibroids is tailored and empowering. Your practitioner will take a thorough case history to explore your symptoms, hormonal health, lifestyle, and medical history. Functional testing may be used to assess hormone levels, inflammation, nutrient status, liver function, or gut health. Care is designed to support hormone balance, reduce inflammation, promote healthy detoxification, and ease your symptoms naturally. We aim to help you feel more in control of your body and your cycles, with a long-term plan that supports both symptom relief and hormonal health from the inside out.
