Can Fibroids Really be Shrunk with Enzymes?

I have seen a few different products advertisted, some type of enzymes like Fibrovan or Vitalzym. Just wondering if anybody out there has actually tried alternatives to shrink fibroids, and if there are any successes?

Hi Moonface35

I've seen some of the enzyme ads before. Unfortunately, the only success stories about the enzymes I've seen were part of the ads. I'd ask your GYN what his/her take is and if they are worth trying or at least safe to try.

I tried Lupron to shrink my fibroids back before I had an ablation. Some women find Lupron helps reduce the size of the fibroids to make the surgery easier or make them candidates for a less invasive hyst. The side-effects were worth the trade off for me, but not all women feel that way.

Here's the link to our Resource Section / Options for Fibroids. Hopefully these links will be helpful as you explore your options for treatment.

Good luck with whatever you decide. We'll be here for you.

Hi Moonface35,

There are products that advertise they can shrink fibroids. I might suggest you check out what the ~regrowth~ rate is.
