Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine can stabilize the blood circulation in the fibrotic endometrium treated with TCM, allowing the simple hypertrophy of the muscular layer to gradually disappear, and the fibrotic connective tissue to soften. This helps achieve therapeutic effects such as regulating menstruation, applying medicine, relieving pain, and restoring ovarian function. It can effectively control the growth of uterine fibroids, gradually soften the tumor, and eventually make it disappear. Commonly used formulas include Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction and Guizhi Fuling Pill. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to hygiene.
