Can traditional Chinese medicine treat uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I want to ask if I don't want surgery, can taking traditional Chinese medicine treat uterine fibroids? My symptoms are, I can't feel a lump, and my menstruation is still relatively normal.

Doctor's answer:

If the fibroid is small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, treatment is generally not required, especially for those approaching menopause. After menopause, estrogen levels decline, and the fibroid tends to naturally shrink or disappear. Regular follow-up examinations are sufficient. If the follow-up reveals that the fibroid has grown or symptoms become significant, further treatment should be considered.
Hello, the occurrence of uterine fibroids is currently believed to be related to estrogen. Asymptomatic uterine fibroids do not require treatment, and it is important to undergo regular ultrasound examinations. If the fibroid continues to grow or changes in nature, there should be a warning of the possibility of malignancy.
