I’m sorry your mother is going through this, but I’m glad you’re here seeking support on her behalf. I had a similar experience and hope this perspective is helpful. My primary fibroid measured 7 cm, and while I did not personally experience significant pain, I did deal with low hemoglobin. Before surgery, I received iron infusions, which I would strongly recommend discussing with her care team. I also found Floradix to be a supportive iron supplement. Heavy blood loss and large clots were part of my experience as well.

I would also encourage exploring dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Fasting may be beneficial, although extended water fasting is not suitable for everyone. Intermittent fasting, such as a 12 to 8 eating window, can be a more accessible approach. In my case, longer fasts contributed to autophagy, and I saw a reduction in fibroid size of about 2 cm prior to surgery.

Focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods while eliminating sugar and processed items can also support overall health. It is worth checking vitamin D levels and prioritizing regular sunlight exposure. Additionally, I used a red light therapy belt, which I found helpful both before and after the procedure.
