Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been discovered 8 years ago, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. Can traditional Chinese medicine treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine is not very effective in treating uterine fibroids. Its main function is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which does not target the symptoms of uterine fibroids. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the size of the uterine fibroid. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own condition to achieve targeted treatment and recover quickly.
