Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. May I ask if it's okay to eat coix seed and lotus seeds with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are considered by Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by the mutual accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis obstructing the uterine cavity. Treatment options include Guizhi Fuling Pill or Xiaojin Pill, surgical treatment, or a combination of both. Surgical treatment is the most definitive. It may be caused by uterine fibroids, and an ultrasound examination is needed at the hospital. Oral antibiotics, vitamins, hormones, and traditional Chinese medicine can be taken initially. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods. If the effect is not good, minimally invasive surgery can be performed at the hospital. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection.
