Patient's question:
Last month, a thorough examination was conducted on the first-degree uterine prolapse, reviewing the previous treatment history and its effectiveness: The Kegel exercises showed limited results. There are no drug allergies, and no hereditary issues within the family? Is it possible to undergo acupuncture treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this condition can be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture tools. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, uterine prolapse is believed to be caused by three main symptoms: qi deficiency sinking, kidney deficiency failing to consolidate, and damp-heat descending. Therefore, treatment also follows the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, fully leveraging the therapeutic advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Based on the theory of the properties and functions of Chinese medicinal substances, as well as the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians, it draws inspiration from the traditional TCM method of "boosting qi." According to the principle of "treating deficiency with tonics, raising prolapse with lifting methods, and consolidating prolapse with binding methods," while promoting diuresis and drying dampness, as well as lifting and binding, the foundation is to tonify qi and lift, and to tonify the kidneys and consolidate the prolapse. Therefore, acupuncture to tonify qi can be applied to this condition. It is recommended that you seek the services of an experienced TCM practitioner for acupuncture treatment.
