Title: Ovestin and Fibroids?
Post by: Jett on September 10, 2020, 03:39:21 PM

Hello everyone,

I have quite bad VA and the doctor prescribed me Ovistin to try.  I spoke to a young male doctor who seemed pretty clueless.  I asked if it would be ok as I have fibroids, the biggest guy 4cm by 3 cm and he said it should be fine.  I have moderated my diet to cut down on estrogen to try to prevent my fibroids growing so I just wondered if anyone else uses Ovistin who has fibroids?  I do need to try something but don’t want to fix one thing and make another worse  :-\

Thanks very much for any advice,

Jett xx

I agree with your GP, you should be fine with Ovestin as it won't be absorbed systematically so can have no impact on your fibroids.
