Fibroids and Natural Progesterone

Here is the part in Dr. Lee's book about Fibroids.First of all he says they will disappear altogether at menopause but should be able toshrink them to an unnoticeable size until then with the cream. Italics are my notes.

Otherwise known as myoma of the uterus, fibroids are the most common growth of thefemale genital tract. They are round, firm benign lumps of the muscular wall of theuterus, composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue, and are rarely solitary. Usuallyas small as a hen's egg, they commonly grow gradually to the size of an orange orgrapefruit. The largest fibroid on record weighed over 100 pounds (ouch). They often causeor are coincidental with heavier periods, irregular bleeding, and/or painful periods.After menopause, they usually wither away.

Fibroids are also one of he most common reasons that women in their thirties andforties have a hysterectomy. Some particularly skillful surgeons are capable of removingonly the fibroid, leaving the uterus intact, but they are the exception.

Here again, natural progesterone offers a better alternative. Fibroid tumors, likebreast fibrocysts, are a product of estrogen dominance. Estrogen stimulates their growth,and lack of estrogen causes them to atrophy. Estrogen dominance is a much greater problemthan recognized by contemporary medicine. Many women in their mid-thirties begin to haveanovulatory (non-ovualting) cycles. As they approach the decade before menopause, they areproducing much less progesterone than expected, but still producing normal (or more)estrogen. They retain water and salt, their breasts swell and become fibrocystic, theygain weight (especially around the hips and torso). they become depressed and lose sexdrive, their bones suffer mineral loss, and they develop fibroids. All are signs ofestrogen dominance relative to a progesterone deficiency.

When sufficient natural progesterone is replaced, fibroid tumors not longer grow insize (they generally decrease in size) and can be kept from growing until menopause, afterwhich they will atrophy. This is the effect of reversing estrogen dominance.

Anovulatory periods can be verified by checking serum or saliva progesterone levels theweek following supposed to ovulation. A low reading indicates lack of ovulation and theneed to supplement with natural progesterone.
