Unfortunately at this time, there is no diet, herbal or acupuncture treatment proven to decrease the size of uterine fibroids. But there are a few things that a patient might do for herself, and it seems primarily to involve weight control. What remains unclear, however, is how much of an effect all this has in the long run.

Athletic women have fewer fibroids than non-athletes.
The common denominator may well be estrogen levels. To see how it may be related, let's examine the effect of estrogen on fibroid growth. Generally speaking, Estrogen stimulates fibroid growth. It is unlikely that estrogen triggers the change of a normal cell to a growing fibroid. From what has been said, it would appear logical that the pill will increase fibroid size.
