Does moxibustion work for uterine fibroids?

Surgery is currently the most common method for treating uterine fibroids, but some female friends are particularly afraid of surgery and want to find a method that is non-traumatic and can cure uterine fibroids. Moxibustion is a commonly used method of traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases. So is moxibustion effective for uterine fibroids? Moxibustion has a good health-care effect on the body, but it is not suitable for every patient with uterine fibroids, so you should not blindly choose the treatment method. You must choose the best treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.

Moxibustion treatment of uterine fibroids is suitable for patients with mild disease

1. Moxibustion is a form of traditional Chinese medicine treatment and is also suitable for the treatment of uterine fibroids in women. The principle of moxibustion treatment for uterine fibroids is to infiltrate relevant drugs into the patient's body through acupuncture points and treat fibroids through meridian conduction.

Specifically, moxibustion treatment for uterine fibroids mainly focuses on the following locations: Guanyuan, uterus, Guilai, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints, as well as the uterus area and the corresponding area of ​​uterine fibroids, which is near the Baliao point. The relevant acupoints can be learned by yourself through the human acupoint map and the specific location can be mastered, but the specific location of uterine fibroids varies from person to person, but the specific location can be determined through B-ultrasound examination. Doctors say that correctly understanding the specific location of the tumor is the key to moxibustion treatment. The above parts need to be treated with ginger moxibustion, and moxa the size of rice grains should be selected. Apply it once a day, 3 to 5 times for each part.

2. However, moxibustion treatment for uterine fibroids is not suitable for everyone. Clinically, doctors generally only recommend it to patients with relatively mild conditions or some patients who refuse to undergo hysterectomy. It has a certain effect.

3. Patients need to be aware that moxibustion treatment requires long-term persistence and needs to be performed every day for at least half a year. In addition, because the treatment time is relatively long, it is difficult to guarantee that uterine fibroids will not develop lesions. If uterine fibroids grow too fast, moxibustion is not suitable for treatment in this case. Therefore, patients need to be mentally prepared when choosing this treatment method.

Moxibustion has a certain effect in treating uterine fibroids, but it also has certain shortcomings. Long cycle and uncertain efficacy are its possible shortcomings. Therefore, for patients, a detailed physical evaluation should be conducted before choosing treatment.
