Can traditional Chinese medicine cure them? Will they recur after treatment? What is the cause of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, currently in medicine, there is no clear understanding of its causes, but according to evidence-based medical research, it is related to female sex hormones. Currently, it is believed to be a sex hormone-dependent benign tumor, a relatively common gynecological disease. If the fibroids are small and show no symptoms, treatment is not necessary, and regular monitoring of their spread and changes can be sufficient. If the fibroids are larger and symptoms reappear, surgical treatment is recommended. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can only slow down its growth rate but cannot cure it.
