Bulky uterus is a term often used for describing a condition in which the uterus gets enlarged. One main factor that causes bulky uterus is uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroids also known as leiomyomas, are abnormal growths of the uterus that can cause excessive bleeding, pain, and discomfort.1
Having said that, please note there’s no such "magical food" which can cure bulky uterus or uterine fibroids instantly. However, there are some studies which show that having some foods may lower the risk of fibroids in women. Here are five foods you may consider adding into your diet to prevent or lower the risk of bulky uterus:
1) Fruits 2 ;
2) Vegetables 2;
3) Foods high in vitamin D 2 ;
4) Whole grains 3 ;
5) Foods rich in calcium 4
Fibroids can affect women at any age and their occurance cannot be predicted; but consuming these foods may lower your chances.5 However, if you're in your 40s and have been experiencing symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, infrequent periods, along with a bulky uterus, it could be a sign of approaching menopause!6,7
