There is a specific kind of soul-tired that comes with chronic health issues. It’s the “I just finished fighting this battle, why is the enemy back?…” kind of tired.
I recently learned about a woman in her 30s who has spent nearly half her life dealing with fibroids. She had an open myomectomy earlier in 2025, where surgeons removed over 80 (yes 80) fibroids, only to find out via MRI in December (2025) that they are already back.
If you relate to this, you are not alone. The feeling that after going through all that surgery and the weeks of healing, only to find they are back…actually, you cannot even describe the feeling. So when your body seems to be on fast-forward with fibroid growth, it’s easy to feel like you’ve run out of options.
The Impossible Choice
When you look at what this young woman is facing, she is has two very narrow choices:
Medication: A hormone pill that switches off how your body usually produces hormones and comes with a laundry list of side effects.
Hysterectomy: A permanent eviction that feels like, for her, a huge emotional loss, especially when she is still young and wants a family.
Disheartened, she found herself stuck in a classic dilemma: she’s sick to death of suffering, but at the same time, she is not ready to let go of her womb. When symptoms are dire, jumping into a life-altering surgery feels less like a solution and more like a surrender, due to the lack of options.
Finding the Why Before the Goodbye
As mentioned so many times before, fibroids are a symptom. Basically, whatever is going on internally, fibroids are the end result. If you remove the fibroids but leave the environment that created them exactly as it was, your body is only going to do what it knows how to do: grow more. This is why just delaying the inevitable feels so scary, it assumes that surgery is the only final destination.
But what if there was a way to pause the rush to the operating table and actually look under the hood?
Your Body Has Been Left Unsupervised
Surprisingly enough, your body is not a machine that needs fixing. Your body is an intelligent, interconnected system that is constantly responding to signals, and right now, something keeps hitting the fibroid grow button.
Most of us hand our body over to an expert and hope for the best. But what if the missing piece isn’t (necessarily) another procedure?
Think of it like this. Your liver and gut are essentially in charge of managing your hormones by routing them, processing them, and clearing them out. When that routing goes wrong, oestrogen gets directed down a pathway that essentially says “expand to your uterine tissue”, over and over again. This is literally what is happening at a biochemical level when fibroids come back after surgery.
The most annoying aspect of this is that standard blood tests don’t pick up on this. These tests are designed to tell you whether something is catastrophically wrong - they are not designed to show you the subtle ways your body might be struggling. There are more advanced hormone assessments that go much deeper, looking at how your hormones are being processed, rather than just how much of them are floating in your blood. That’s the difference that makes the difference.
Another factor that is not included is blood sugar, which rarely (if ever), comes up in these conversations. When your blood sugar spikes, your liver dials down a protein whose whole job is to keep excess oestrogen in check. Without that protein doing its job, oestrogen moves freely and fibroids are essentially bathing in the fuel they need to keep growing. Your daily habits, the ones that feel totally unrelated to your womb, might actually be part of the story.
Despite this sounding dire (and btw, none of it is your fault), it’s actually where you can be more powerful. Because once you can see what’s actually driving the growth through proper testing, you stop fighting the invisible, and you start making decisions that are genuinely informed.
The Power of the Audit
So, before making a choice that can’t be undone, there is a path you can take before you do anything else. Instead of focusing solely only on the tumours, you can look at the six systems in your body that influence fibroid behavior, and one of them has been mentioned already.
By taking the Uterine Health Audit as your first step, you can move away from the wait and see anxiety and into active discovery. The audit helps identify which of your internal systems might be fueling this rapid regrowth. But just bear in mind, it’s not as simple as, “oh, let me go take some milk thistle for my liver”. As already alluded to, it’s important to look at your body as one complete system, rather than seeing your fibroids in isolation.
Why This Changes the Narrative
Please make a note of this: taking the audit does not mean you ignore medical advice.
What it does mean is that you become an expert on your own biology. Getting to know your body and listening to your intuition is something you can definitely learn to do, but it is a process. ‘Knowing Thyself’ offers something surgery can’t: Clarity. Imagine being able to make your final decision because you have the right data. By identifying the systemic blockages and where your body might be struggling, you might find that you can manage the environment of your body so effectively that the drastic choice no longer feels like your only exit.
You deserve to feel ready and at peace with whatever you choose. Whether surgery remains on the cards at some point or not, wouldn’t you rather make that call knowing you’ve looked at every system involved? Your womb is something you hold dear, so it’s worth taking the time to understand the why before you say goodbye.
If you have ever felt pressured to make a permanent medical decision because you didn’t think there were any other stones left to turn, the Uterine Health Audit will make a massive difference. This is how you go from not not knowing to knowing. Start the audit.
