Can moxibustion on the abdomen cure uterine fibroids?

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.

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. This relatively appropriate treatment method has a certain effect.

However, patients need to be aware that moxibustion treatment requires long-term persistence and requires daily moxibustion treatment 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.

How to treat uterine fibroids

1. Drug treatment

Drug therapy is a conservative treatment and is mainly suitable for patients with small fibroids. When the diameter of the fibroids is less than 2 cm, appropriate drug treatment can be taken to slow the growth rate of the fibroids, and regular check-ups in the hospital should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor. It should be noted that drug treatment of uterine fibroids can only control the progression of the disease to a certain extent, but cannot completely cure the disease. If the fibroids continue to grow and their diameter exceeds 2 cm, surgical treatment should be taken in time to completely remove the fibroids.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgery is a fundamental method to treat uterine fibroids. In recent years, the hysteroscopic and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has shown good clinical efficacy. Compared with open surgery, it has four advantages. It avoids the damage of large abdominal incisions in traditional surgery and only makes 1-3 small incisions in the abdomen. It does not cut the diseased organs and does not damage normal tissues, which can greatly reduce the patient's postoperative pain. Preserving the uterus also preserves the female reproductive function. Patients recover faster after surgery, reducing short-term complications and long-term adverse effects such as ovarian dysfunction. The patient will suffer less damage, the minimally invasive incision is only 0.5 cm-1.0 cm, the operation time is short, the patient's bleeding is less, and no earthworm-like scar will be left on the abdomen after the operation.
