Patient's question:
I have been using Western medicine to treat endometrial thickening, but it always seems like the effect is not very ideal. Recently, I want to try Chinese medicine, but I don't know what to take. I want to ask the online doctor what Chinese medicine should be taken for endometrial thickening?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of patients with endometrial hyperplasia are functional endometrial bleeding. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers it to be blood stasis obstructing internally and menstrual blood flowing outside the physiological path. The combination of Chinese medicine and blood-stasis-dispelling and hemostatic herbs achieves remarkable effects in regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding!The endometrium is the mucous membrane covering the uterine cavity, which develops and grows during childhood. During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium also undergoes cyclical changes. When the endometrium sheds, menstruation occurs. Each menstrual cycle involves the release of an egg. If fertilization does not occur, the next menstrual period will follow. The menstrual cycle is regulated by ovarian hormones. When ovarian hormone levels are disrupted, it can also cause menstrual irregularities, leading to changes in the endometrium. This is manifested as endometrial hyperplasia.
Endometrial hyperplasia can occur at any age, including during puberty, the reproductive period, perimenopause, or postmenopause. Western medicine and Chinese medicine should be chosen independently—I am just analyzing the situation. Personally, I believe Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine. Western medicine has side effects, and long-term use can lead to drug resistance and tolerance. Chinese medicine is safe, effective, and free of side effects. TCM excels at syndrome differentiation and individualized treatment. Since everyone is unique, treating all conditions with a single type of medicine is unrealistic. I personally recommend that Chinese medicine treatment is effective and less prone to recurrence.
