TCM treatment of uterine fibroids

1. Treatment with Chinese medicine

1. According to the characteristics of blood and qi disorders in uterine fibroids, treatment should distinguish between qi and blood, new disease and long-term disease. If the disease is in the Qi, the main treatment is to regulate Qi and remove stagnation, supplemented by regulating blood; if the disease is in the blood, the main treatment is to activate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis and resolve nodules, supplemented by regulating Qi. In the case of a new illness, the vital energy is still strong and can be attacked and weakened; in the case of a long-term illness, the vital energy is weakened, so it is advisable to use both attack and tonification. Generally speaking, it is advisable to "stop when the vital energy is mostly weakened". Do not attack fiercely or harshly, so as not to damage the vital energy. If it is a stone-like mass and the medicine is not strong enough to cure it, the best option is to use Western medicine surgery to eliminate the solid evil first and then replenish the body.

2. Both drug and non-drug therapies can be used to treat this disease. New diseases and qi diseases should be treated by promoting qi and blood circulation. Long-term diseases, blood diseases or phlegm congestion, mild conditions, and small lumps should be treated by promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and eliminating symptoms. Severe conditions, large lumps, and gradually declining vital energy should be treated by surgical resection to remove pathogenic factors and then regulate the body.
