Patient's question:
I am 54 years old and have been menopausal for almost 4 years. Yesterday, I suddenly bled like I was having my period. My breasts were also very sore two days ago. Today, the ultrasound at the hospital showed fibroids and endometrial thickening of 0.8 cm. Do I have to undergo a D&C procedure?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a diagnosis. The treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, dissipating blood clots, clearing heat and detoxifying, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and resolving blood stasis to alleviate pain. It can improve blood circulation in the hyperplastic endometrium, gradually reduce simple muscular hypertrophy, soften the proliferated connective tissue, and thus achieve therapeutic effects such as regulating menstruation, stopping bleeding, eliminating pain, and restoring ovarian function. It can effectively control the growth of uterine fibroids, gradually soften the tumor, and eventually dissolve it. A commonly used medicine is "Gui Ling Xiao Liu Wan," which is characterized by a short course of treatment, rapid onset of action, quick efficacy, and minimal side effects.
