Patient's question:
My relative went to the hospital for a thorough check-up two days ago due to health reasons. They were diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Hello, is there any medication that can treat this?Doctor's answer:
Etiology: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that uterine fibroids are caused by internal injury of seven emotions, dysfunction of zang-fu organs, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Modern medical experiments have found that the estrogen receptor level in fibroid tissue is higher than that in normal uterine muscle tissue. This suggests that the recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to long-term high estrogen levels leading to endocrine disorders. At the same time, hormone metabolism is regulated by the higher nervous system, so the activity of the central nervous system may also play a very important role in promoting this disease. Additionally, cytogenetic experiments show that some fibroids have cytogenetic abnormalities. For severe patients with uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and treat it promptly according to the doctor's advice. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
