Uterine Fibroids – Diagnosis & Treatment

Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroid

Green Tea

Green tea and its extract contain EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a special substance that can alleviate the severity of your uterine fibroids. Consuming this drink on a daily basis would help shrink the masses and prevent the development of new ones. Ideally, you can sip a cup daily or add supplements to the diet. Make sure to talk with your doctor before starting as it would intervene with some medications. Keep in mind that green tea is rich in caffeine. Therefore, if you are sensitive to this substance, it would lead to some possible side effects such as nausea, nervousness, or irritability. [4]
