Patient's question:
Can women with uterine fibroids and heavy menstrual bleeding take Yunnan Baiyao capsules?Doctor's answer:
You can take Yunnan Baiyao capsules to stop bleeding. For smaller fibroids, medication is usually sufficient. However, for larger or multiple fibroids, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to postoperative care and infection prevention. Your condition may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, leading to bleeding. This is often due to prolonged illness, overexertion, or spleen deficiency, which results in qi deficiency. When qi is weak, it cannot properly regulate blood flow, causing blood to escape from blood vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold blood. It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding.
