Patient's question:
A sister suffered from uterine fibroids, and her complexion wasn't looking good, with some spots on her face. So I took her to a beauty salon for some skin care. The beautician noticed the spots on her skin and explained that she could undergo laser treatment. My friend said that her skin had started to deteriorate because of the uterine fibroids. Then, the beautician also explained that she could have moxibustion, which could help with the uterine fibroid issue.Doctor's answer:
After hearing your description, I don't know how big your friend's fibroid is. Generally, moxibustion can be effective in treating uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. Uterine fibroids are mainly composed of fibrotic smooth muscle cells of the uterus. While undergoing medication treatment, if the fibroid is smaller than 3 centimeters, moxibustion can be used to completely treat it. However, it won't work after just one course; you'll need to endure several courses. In fact, having a uterine fibroid is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as it is detected early and timely treatment is administered, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
