Patient's question:
My menstruation has always been very regular, but this month, before the expected day, there has been a continuous, light flow of blood. The amount is not significant. I bought "Wuji Baifeng Wan" to take, but it didn't help. When I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, they found a uterine fibroid. My friend heard I was sick and bought ginseng to visit me. I want to understand if it's okay to eat ginseng with a uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
Please check carefully if you have uterine fibroids and take timely medication. Uterine fibroids are a type of benign tumor. Small fibroids generally do not affect health, but they may cause irregular menstruation. It is recommended to take oral medication and apply topical medication, while following medical advice to take oral medication for fibroids. It is generally advised not to consume ginseng if you have uterine fibroids, as it is a supplement and may slow down the growth of fibroids. For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and start treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid using medication blindly to worsen the condition.
