Patient's question:
My best friend has about 5 cm fibroids, and now her menstrual period is heavy. My best friend is 49 years old and wants to completely eliminate them with traditional Chinese medicine. Can patients with multiple gynecological uterine fibroids completely eliminate them by drinking traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Most of them show no symptoms, while a very small number may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and pressure symptoms, among others. The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be guaranteed. It is recommended that patients use antagonistic hormone drugs under the guidance of a hospital for treatment, or they can also take androgen, progesterone, and vitamin drugs. If the medication treatment is not effective, surgical removal is still recommended. Patients with uterine fibroids should use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. They should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating foods in their daily meals.
