This March, I had a gynecological examination at the hospital. My uterus has several uterine fibroids, with sizes of 4cm x 8cm and 6cm x 8cm. I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who said: In my case, there is no need to take medication, as they will gradually enlarge with age. Tumor sizes below 5cm can be treated with medication to control the growth of fibroids. If the size is below 5cm, the doctor will recommend surgery. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If there are multiple fibroids and the patient has not yet entered menopause, the doctor may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from growing again. Additionally, clinical diagnosis often employs traditional Chinese medicine and other integrated treatment methods. Herbal supplements such as ginsenoside Rh2 (Houmingsu) can be used in combination with traditional Chinese medicine to completely eliminate residual cancer cells in the body and prevent recurrence.
