Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a year ago, the largest measuring 2320 mm and the smallest 87 mm. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication and just recommended regular check-ups. I'm wondering if Guizhi Fuling Pill can be effective. Can Guizhi Fuling Pill treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The main ingredients of Guizhi Fuling Pill are cinnamon twigs, poria, peony root, and peach kernels. It can invigorate blood, resolve blood stasis, disperse nodules, and reduce swelling. It has a certain therapeutic effect on uterine fibroids. Surgical treatment is recommended for uterine fibroids larger than 5 cm, or for those smaller than 5 cm but with significant clinical manifestations. Your fibroid is small, so treatment is not recommended. Uterine fibroids are caused by abnormal decreases in estrogen levels in the body. Drug treatment primarily suppresses hormone secretion, and once medication is stopped, the fibroid may shrink rapidly. Fibroids smaller than 5 cm may gradually enlarge after menopause. You should now have irregular follow-up examinations, and treatment is not necessary as long as the fibroid does not grow. Pay attention to relaxing your mood and maintaining a balanced diet.
