Patient's question:
My aunt was diagnosed with uterine fibroids during her gynecological examination this year. It's not just one, but multiple fibroids. However, they are not the large type. She is experiencing pain due to the pressure, and she doesn't want to go into the operating room. She is considering using some folk remedies to treat this condition. Usually, she dislikes turning to folk remedies when she gets sick, but this time with uterine fibroids, she wants to rely on eating something to heal it. Can taking Guizhi Fuling Pills help treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids that are smaller can be treated with Fu Ling Gui Zhi Wan, but surgery is recommended if they are below 5cm. Essentially, there are no clear medications that can completely cure uterine fibroids. In clinical diagnosis, treatments like Gui Zhi Fu Ling capsules, Gong Tou Xiao, and Bai Xiao Dan are often tried, with the aim of suppressing the function of the pituitary and ovaries, reducing estrogen levels, and thereby inhibiting their growth. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is not very significant. But for early-stage uterine fibroids, taking Gui Zhi Fu Ling capsules is still effective and has no side effects. In addition to active treatment, patients with uterine fibroids should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you quickly distance yourself from this disease.
