Patient's question:
My aunt was diagnosed with uterine fibroids during her gynecological examination this year. It's not just one, but more than one. However, they are not the large type. She's been in pain and doesn't want to go into surgery. She wants to try some folk remedies to treat this condition. Usually, when she gets sick, she dislikes seeking out folk remedies, but this time with uterine fibroids, she's hoping to heal by eating something. Can taking Guizhi Fuling Pill help treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids that are smaller can be treated with Fu Ling Gui Zhi Wan, but those below 5cm are recommended for surgery. Essentially, there are no clear medications that can completely cure uterine fibroids. In clinical diagnosis, treatments such as Gui Zhi Fu Ling capsules, Gong Tou Xiao, and Bai Xiao Dan are often tried, with the goal 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 throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you quickly distance yourself from this disease.
