My journey from debilitating pain to regaining my health
I am a 41-year-old mother of three. Before coming to McSara Naturopathic Clinic, I was experiencing severe pelvic pain that made walking extremely difficult. On one occasion, I needed to go to the laboratory for tests, but I was in so much pain that I couldn't walk there. I had to wait until my husband returned to drive me.
A friend introduced me to McSara, where I underwent a clinical assessment and physical examination before further investigations were recommended. What I appreciated was that my assessment went beyond my pelvic symptoms. My metabolic health and other potential contributing factors were also evaluated.
My ultrasound investigations showed uterine fibroids, including a posterior-wall intramural fibroid measuring 2.20 × 1.45 cm, and two anterior-wall intramural fibroids measuring 1.65 × 1.05 cm and 1.79 × 1.16 cm on a subsequent scan. The findings also raised suspicion of possible coexisting adenomyosis.
My individualised care plan included nutritional therapy, a personalised meal plan, lifestyle modifications, acupuncture, herbal medicines and nutraceuticals.
What amazed me was that by the second day, my pain had reduced drastically, and I could begin walking again. I followed the protocol strictly as advised, and my improvement was better and faster than I had imagined.
I was also educated about my condition, the possible reasons behind my pain, and how my lifestyle could be contributing to it. At my three-month review, my ultrasound showed no visible fibroids, with normal uterine architecture reported. My CRP had also reduced from 19.11 mg/L to 5 mg/L.
I continued my reviews and care over six months. Today, I am grateful to be free from the symptoms that once disrupted my daily life.
What I value most is that I now understand why maintaining healthier lifestyle choices matters. I have continued making those changes beyond the treatment period, and I am genuinely happy and grateful for the healthier choices I make today.
My journey at McSara has been a turning point for me.
