Dysmenorrhoea , miscarriages, fibroid and polyps, ovarian cysts, adenos and endos and scores of other uterine problems faced by both-- married and unmarried women-- and years of treatment --allopathic, homoeopathic, Ayurveda and unani-- by obstetricians and gynecologists and hakims and doctors of every kind shelling out thousands of bucks and still ending up with hysterectomies and oophorectomies................
As per stats, one in every 3 women worldwide suffers miscarriage at least once in her life and one in 10 is found to suffer from uterine fibroid, and by the age 60, more than one third women in the world have already undergone hysterectomies for some uterine problem or the other. Ovarian cysts are also another common feature these days.
Recent researches have now linked the mineral Selenium with uterine health of humans and success stories are already emerging on the net by ppl who have used selenium for their uterine problems and even made ovarian cysts and endometriosis disappear with selenium. These are just a few sites below. You can chk out more.
While the above uterine and ovarian problems can be caused due to various reasons, Selenium deficiency in the body is now emerging as one important causative factor. But it will be another half a century by the time our obstetricians and gynecologists become aware of it by which time you can be sure that over two-third women in the world will have already undergone hysterectomies by age 40 itself unless you take it upon you to make women aware.
Selenium is a trace element, a micronutrient required by our body in small quantities. ( In micrograms. Not milligrams). And it works along with Vitamin E. Selenium along with vitamin E , protects uterine lining from damage by free radicals and also keeps estrogen levels in control. Selenium deficiency has also been linked to high estrogen levels in the body which rapidly worsen the above problems.
Selenium is present in most of the common foods that we eat although the richest source of Selenium happens to be Brazil nuts. You can check selenium rich foods on different websites. Also check out the normal required dose of Selenium for healthy adults which is said to be about 50 mcg per day. Too much selenium taken for long time also causes other problems. The maximum safe dose of Selenium in a day is 400 mcg ( should be used only by people who have uterine disorders only. )
Its time to wake up to vitamin and nutrient therapies. Many a health problem suffered today is due to a deficiency of some nutrient(s) in the bodywhich in turn is attributed to our diet or depletion of the minerals in the soil due to over cultivation and soil erosion mostly.
What the doctors provide you is symptomatic treatment using drugs . But this does not address the real cause of the problem. And that is why the problem keeps popping up again and again and the treatment continues all your life while in many cases the problem actually aggravates finally leading to the hysterectomy or the oophorectomy. If you want to cure the problem, then you must address the cause besides the symptomatic treatment.
Besides Selenium, other minerals such as iodine, zinc , and folic acid are also said to treat uterine problems as iodine, zinc and folate deficiency is also said to be other common factors contributing to the above uterine and ovarian disorders.
There are stories where a simple change in the diet avoiding some particular food stuffs which is said to worsen the above problems have also given a far better success rate than the drugs which our doctors provide.
But most of us never bother to think in terms of a change in our diet for our health problems. All we can think of is drugs. And unfortunately our doctors also do not give us any info other than drugs. Time to wake up to diet therapies too. For every health problem, there has to be food stuffs that you must avoid and food stuffs that you must take. Search and find out. Don't depend on the doctor to give you the info.
Also for the above health problems, the most common therapy so far was the contraceptive therapy which the doctors commonly provided which are generally not very effective. Wake up to progesterone therapies for fibroids, endometriosis, and miscarriages. " Progesterone--only" therapies. Talk to your doctor about it. Not many doctors are again aware of the new progesterone therapies. And it will take decades for them to become aware and accept the new. You can go ahead with the progesterone therapy but not before you read enough about it first on many different sites.
