What are the moxibustion areas for uterine fibroids?

The uterus is not only the place for women to give birth, but also the place that dominates the female body. Problems with the uterus will cause diseases in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and appendages around the uterus. Severe cases can endanger the vagina, so it is necessary to take good care of the uterus. Many women with uterine fibroids are afraid to undergo surgery. At this time, they can be diagnosed and treated through moxibustion, and it will be effective if they persist.
