Patient's question:
I am 39 years old this year. During my physical examination, the doctor told me that I might need to have a detailed gynecological examination, mainly focusing on the uterus. Please ask: What are the causes of uterine fibroids according to traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
In traditional Chinese medicine, uterine fibroids are primarily related to the meridian pathways of the liver and gallbladder, as well as their sensory functions. Therefore, treatment is based on soothing the liver and resolving stagnation, aiming to achieve the goal of unblocking meridians and promoting the smooth flow of qi and blood. In traditional Chinese medicine, Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) has the effect of soothing the liver and alleviating depression, and it can be taken orally in sufficient quantities under the guidance of a TCM practitioner for treatment. In daily life, in addition to focusing on treatment outcomes, special attention should be paid to dietary habits. A healthy diet greatly aids in recovery and can even have supplementary therapeutic effects. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and a regular routine.
