Patient's question:
I recently had a health check-up, and the report indicated that I have endometriosis, which had a heavy impact on me as someone who wants to have a baby. My mom found out that endometriosis can be treated with moxibustion. Doctor, is moxibustion effective for endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the growth of endometrial cells outside the uterine lining, where they are not supposed to be. This condition often causes symptoms such as painful periods and post-coital pain. If these symptoms recur, the recommended measure is surgical removal of the ectopic endometrial tissue. However, most patients experience recurrence because it is difficult to completely clear the endometrial cells. Traditional conservative treatments are often ineffective.
