Patient's question:
03 years ago, I had an uterine fibroid, and later discovered multiple uterine fibroids, which grew nearly 2 cm every two years. Currently, they are over 5 cm in size, and I also have pelvic inflammation. My immune function has declined slightly compared to before. I want to take oral health supplements. What kind of health supplements can I take?Treatment history and effectiveness: The fibroids were not treated much. Pelvic inflammation was treated with both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but the condition has been recurrent, with slow recovery and resistance to medication.
The kind of help I value: Currently, I am taking royal jelly orally. I am unsure if I can take capsules made from placenta powder, ginseng, and Cordyceps sinensis.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is not recommended to take oral supplements containing hormones, as they may affect your condition. If you plan to take them orally, you should check the specific type and consult your primary physician. Some supplements contain only trace amounts of hormones, and it is better not to take them orally. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
