Patient's question:
Suffering from endometriosis, what should be paid attention to in daily diet? How can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is recommended to be treated with the syndrome differentiation and treatment method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The principle of TCM treatment is to warm the meridians, dispel cold, activate blood circulation to remove blood stasis, soften and resolve hard masses, and reduce swelling and pain. In general, the goal is to gradually liquefy the ectopic masses using traditional Chinese medicine, typically an ancient TCM formula called Guiling Gongmo Patch, which helps shrink and absorb the ectopic lesions. Clinical symptoms will gradually alleviate or disappear as the ectopic masses shrink. A diet with light and plain foods is more suitable. Scallions can effectively dispel wind and cold, unblock the liver meridian, and are beneficial for consumption. Mulberry, known for its blood-activating properties, can be consumed in larger quantities. Alcoholic beverages, which warm the yang and unblock the meridians, promote qi flow and dispel cold, can be consumed moderately to help remove blood stasis and alleviate pain.
