Chemicals in Household Plastics May Raise Risk for Fibroids - WebMD,
11/15/22 - “We detected the phthalate DEHP and its
breakdown products in much higher quantities in the urine of women who also
happen to have symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors. Then we asked the question
whether this association was causal. And the answer was yes,”

Common chemicals linked to endometriosis, fibroids -- and healthcare costs -
CNN, 3/22/16 - "phthalates and DDE, have been
particularly strongly linked with common female reproductive conditions, such as
fibroids ... The European Union and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have
already banned the use of certain endocrine disruptors, such as BPA, in baby
bottles, though research suggests alternatives to BPA might not be safe .. They
can eat organic, reduce canned food consumption, which reduces exposure to BPA,
and avoid packaged or highly processed food, which is a major route for
phthalates to enter food. They can also open windows to allow chemical dust,
which accumulates on the carpet and electronics, to circulate out of homes"

Vitamin
D may reduce risk of uterine fibroids - Science Daily, 4/15/13 -
"Women who had sufficient amounts of vitamin D were
32 percent less likely to develop fibroids than women with insufficient vitamin
D ... Those with more than 20 nanograms per milliliter of 25-hydroxy D were
categorized as sufficient, though some experts think even higher levels may be
required for good health" - See

Vitamin D shrinks fibroid tumors in rats - Science Daily, 3/1/12 -

but, in the rats receiving vitamin D, the tumors had shrunk dramatically. On

smaller than those in the untreated group ... he amount of vitamin D the
rats received each day was equivalent to a human dose of roughly 1,400
international units"

Green Tea Extract May Treat Uterine Fibroids - WebMD, 1/26/10 -
"In test tube studies with rodent fibroid cells,
cells treated with EGCG grew more slowly and were smaller after 48-72 hours.
EGCG also prompted fibroid cell death. The researchers write that it is
"highly encouraging that, in our work, a relatively modest dose of EGCG ...
that was delivered in drinking water was successful in inducing a dramatic
and sustained reduction in fibroid tumor size up to eight weeks after
treatment." ... The researchers say their study suggests that EGCG "might be
particularly useful for long-term use in women with a low fibroid tumor
burden to arrest tumor progression and avoid the development of severe
symptoms that necessitate major surgery" - See
green tea extract at Amazon.com.

Uterine fibroids have significant impact on quality of life, workplace
performance - Science Daily, 10/24/13 - "women
delayed seeking treatment an average of 3.6 years, with 32 percent of women
waiting more than five years. Most women reported fears associated with
their fibroids, including being afraid that the fibroids will grow (79
percent) and that they will need a hysterectomy (55 percent), as well as
fears regarding relationships, sexual function, body image, loss of control
and hopelessness. Almost two-thirds (66 percent) of women were concerned
about missed days from work due to their symptoms, and 24 percent of
employed respondents felt that their symptoms prevented them from reaching
their career potential. The vast majority said they prefer a minimally
invasive treatment option that preserves the uterus"
