Patient's question:
I have a really, really good sister. She got divorced at the end of last year. After the divorce, she wanted to have a child right away. Everything was going smoothly at first, but recently she was diagnosed with severe uterine fibroids, so she hasn't been able to get pregnant. She doesn't know if it's because of this reason, and she's feeling very distressed.Doctor's answer:
When cervical erosion is severe, it has a three-fold impact on pregnancy. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that cervical erosion is primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, as well as downward flow of damp-heat. Generally, conventional drugs are difficult to completely cure it. "Qi is the leader of blood, and blood is the mother of qi." Long-term deficiency of qi and blood leads to persistent cervical erosion. Western medicine's conventional anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments not only fail to but also, due to prolonged use of antibiotics, result in drug resistance, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve a complete cure. TCM and Chinese herbal medicine have accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice, which are fast-acting and produce definite results. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese herbs such as Chinese yam, Eucommia ulmoides, raw coix seed, rhubarb, prepared rehmannia, spikenard, zedoary, and licorice for treatment. Many patients who have been cured have not experienced recurrence, demonstrating the effectiveness of the treatment.
