Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for a year. Since they are relatively small, I haven't considered surgery. Recently, I have been taking medication, but during my follow-up check-up, they are still the same size—no reduction at all. I heard from a colleague that this condition can be treated with Sanqi powder, which is said to help cure uterine fibroids. I wanted to ask if uterine fibroids can be treated with Sanqi powder?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroid patients can consume Panax notoginseng powder for treatment. Uterine fibroids are primarily caused by blood and Qi stagnation, and Panax notoginseng has the effect of invigorating blood circulation, which can provide some therapeutic benefits. However, medication is not a definitive solution for uterine fibroids and should only be used as a supplementary approach. Therefore, do not place excessive expectations on medication. The best method is still to consider surgical removal, which is a more modern approach. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to the recurrence of uterine fibroids.
