Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Which is more accurate for checking uterine fibroids: transvaginal ultrasound or abdominal ultrasound?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, or surgical intervention, which is the most definitive. Symptoms include menstrual changes, abdominal masses, increased leukorrhea, urinary and bowel abnormalities, lower back pain and abdominal pain, and infertility. In severe cases, it can manifest as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, palpitations, and may even lead to cancer.
