Uterine Fibroids: Understanding the Silent Growths

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during a woman’s reproductive years. Although benign, they can significantly affect quality of life, causing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular cycles, a sense of weight or pressure in the uterine region, pelvic pain, and persistent discomfort. From the perspective of homoeopathic philosophy, uterine fibroids are considered to have a sycotic origin—linked to the gonorrhoeal miasma. This origin may be either acquired or congenital, reflecting the deeper constitutional influences that shape disease expression.
