It’s estimated 2/3 women will have fibroids by age 50, and they are the leading prescription for hysterectomy. Thank you Alef Morais for the photo.

It’s estimated 2/3 women will have uterine fibroids by age 50, and fibroids are the leading cause of the recommendation for hysterectomy.

If you have or treat uterine fibroids, you know what a confusing and difficult situation it is.

Looking at the research through a quantum lens, I see a few huge areas for potential noninvasive strategies to reduce the likelihood of getting uterine fibroids, increase the likelihood of slowing or reversing their growth, and for generally supporting wellbeing for women who have fibroids.

The preventable risk factors for uterine fibroids with particularly “quantum” possibilities for intervention: inadequate time outdoors, inadequate darkness, inadequate movement, and too many endocrine disrupting chemicals.

This post is grouped with my Quantum Anemia Theories series because heavy bleeding can lead to an anemia…
