Hey.. I'm wondering if there are any bikini competitors that have fibroids? I have 4 and my lower abdominal area is always looks bloated... Any diet and/or exercise ideas that can help with this?

    as far as I understand it fibroids can only be removed surgically.

    as for the cause of them you should get some blood work / genetic testing done to see what is triggering your body to create them. They can be a reaction to foods like gluten or lactose, could be stemming from hormone issues like too much estrogen and or endometriosis, or a precursor to a cancer. That's some pretty serious symptoms that you should not ignore.
