Is it useful to take Chinese medicine to treat uterine fibroids?

Many gynecological diseases are effectively treated with Chinese medicine, so many women ask whether Chinese medicine can cure uterine fibroids. In fact, if the uterine fibroids are not very serious and do not have a big impact on menstruation and the body, it is okay to use Chinese medicine for treatment. It’s just that relatively speaking, the treatment process and effect are longer than Western medicine treatment.

1. Can uterine fibroids be eliminated by taking Chinese medicine?

Depending on the situation, uterine fibroids may not be cured by Chinese medicine. This mainly depends on the type of uterine fibroids. If the uterine fibroids are relatively small and the menstrual volume is normal, it can be cured by Chinese medicine. If the uterine fibroids are relatively large, submucosal, and the menstrual flow is particularly heavy, Chinese medicine will not be able to effectively treat them and surgical treatment is necessary.

3. Dietary considerations for uterine fibroids

Stay away from spicy and irritating foods. Patients with uterine fibroids should avoid all spicy and irritating foods as much as possible, such as: pepper, ginger, beef, mutton, seafood, coffee, alcohol, etc. Spicy and stimulating foods will only aggravate the severity of the disease, increase the difficulty of cure, prolong recovery time, and cause greater physical harm to the patient.

Stay away from irritating foods. Uterine fibroids are also a type of inflammatory disease in the body, so you should be careful about your diet, especially avoiding irritating foods that may aggravate the condition. Such as mutton, beef, dog meat, seafood, eel, salted fish, black fish, etc., these foods may aggravate the occurrence of the disease.

Stay away from hot foods. Women with uterine fibroids are prone to anemia. Long-term anemia has a great impact on women's health. Therefore, many patients with uterine fibroids will choose to eat supplements such as longan, red dates, and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Because consuming hot foods during illness may aggravate the condition of fibroids.
