uterine fibroids

A friend is having trouble with uterine fibroids and I think she may have some other vit A symptoms, though not a lot.   Irregular cycles too.

Is this a job for the low A diet?

As with many of our problems here, doc's don't know what causes them.

"Vitamin A has also been investigated, and a dose-dependent relationship was observed between vitamin A and the formation of uterine fibroids []. Animal sources of vitamin A appear to be primarily responsible and not sources derived from fruit or vegetables []. The anti-oxidant properties of vitamins C and E have not shown any association however []."

Interesting as my sister developed fibroids and recently had them removed in a costly surgery. She took Accutane back in the day
