Effect of Vitamin D on the Size of Fibroids in Women With Vitamin D Deficiency

March 11, 2025 updated by: Fundación IVI

Pilot Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of Vitamin D on the Size of Fibroids in Women With Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D supplementation in patients with uterine fibroids who present hypovitaminosis D to re-establish their normal serum values could stabilize the size of the uterine fibroids and thus prevent their growth or reduce their size thanks to the anti-proliferative action of Vitamin D on the myoma cells.
