Patient's question:
My older sister has been feeling unwell recently, so she went to the hospital. She was told she has uterine fibroids. What are the causes of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of uterine fibroids is primarily due to the persistent fluctuation of hormone levels within the uterus, which stimulates the recurrence of uterine fibrosis. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment, the formation of uterine fibroids is mainly attributed to excessive cold and dampness in the body, the inability to eliminate cold toxins, and the resulting symptoms. It is recommended to promptly visit a gynecological department for a detailed vaginal ultrasound examination. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment should be administered. The use of medication should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. It is essential to regularly undergo gynecological examinations.
