For Fibroid Awareness Month, Dr. J puts the focus on fibroids and the toll it takes on women of childbearing age.
Dr. J begins the discussion with a definition and scope of the problem, moving on to diagnosis and conventional treatment options. In the last half hour, natural treatments are discussed including diet, lifestyle and supplementation that may be helpful for fibroid management.
