I just found out this past Friday that I have an 8.5 cm fibroid on my left uterus and cysts on my right ovary. My doctor recommended a hysterectomy but I am not in any pain other than severe cramps during period, which I have always had. I have been doing a lot of research this weekend on natural alternatives. Search on here for Iodine and fibroids, there is a lot of info. Also I found a lot on enzymes and fibroids. Any one with more info/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
