Vitamin D and daylight
How to do it
Get some daylight most days, and ask your doctor whether your vitamin D level should be checked.
What we know
Some studies have found lower vitamin D levels in women with fibroids. Whether taking vitamin D changes anything is still being studied.
Be careful if
you're thinking of high-dose supplements. Too much vitamin D can be harmful, so get tested and ask your doctor first.

Questions to ask your doctor
Living with fibroids
- How many fibroids do I have, how big are they and where are they?
- What are all my options, including the less invasive ones?
- Should my iron be checked?
- Which symptoms mean I should come back sooner?
