Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids and went to see an old Chinese medicine practitioner. The cause he gave me was very strange. Could you tell me what the causes of uterine fibroids are from a TCM perspective?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) also views uterine fibroids as benign tumors, which are related to the blockage of qi and blood stagnation, as well as the dysfunction of internal organs. The treatment principles are similar to those of Western medicine. For mild symptoms, regular follow-up checks are recommended, as the condition may fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. Severe symptoms require treatment. Daily use of blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispelling traditional Chinese medicine formulas or herbs can help regulate and control the condition. It is important to have regular health check-ups and detect any issues early for timely treatment.
