However, this is only effective for small uterine fibroids. Large fibroids must be removed surgically. Do you know more about traditional Chinese medicine in treating uterine fibroids?

The traditional Chinese medicine treatment for uterine fibroids incorporates the traditional medical concept of soothing the liver and regulating qi, regulating the Chong and Ren meridians to support the body's health, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, and removing evil, so that the body can strengthen its symptoms and the disease can heal itself. Derive the traditional Chinese medicine treatment method for uterine fibroids.

1. Treat the symptoms urgently and treat the root cause slowly. Uterine fibroids often have no obvious clinical symptoms.

Submucosal fibroids or intramural fibroids often manifest as shortened menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow or metrorrhagia, which are no different from general menstrual disorders. Therefore, those who suffer from prolonged bleeding can first stop the bleeding and then receive different treatments based on their age. When using hemostatic drugs, you can refer to the treatment plan for metrorrhagia and the traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. After the bleeding stops, the corresponding treatment plan can be taken according to the clinical symptoms. For those with qi stagnation, qi and blood circulation can be promoted; for those with blood stasis, blood circulation can be promoted to remove blood stasis; for those with phlegm and dampness, dampness can be removed and phlegm can be resolved. For patients who refuse surgical treatment, it is particularly important to treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation.

2. Patients with chronic illness should take both tonifying and sedative measures.

Long-term illness will cause deficiency of qi and blood, so appropriate replenishment of qi and blood should be made to restore the body's vitality. On the one hand, it can play a role in strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and on the other hand, it can lay the foundation for surgical treatment if necessary. You can combine the drugs that suppress Qi with drugs that replenish Qi and blood, or you can simply choose some Chinese patent medicines for oral administration, such as Guipi Pills, Shiquan Dabu Pills, etc.

3. Combining symptoms and signs to enhance strengths and overcome weaknesses

It is necessary to be guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summarize the data obtained from the four examinations, analyze and use differentiation as the main method, identify the cause and pathogenesis of the disease, the rise and fall of the patient's yin and yang, qi and blood, and the deficiency and excess of the meridians and internal organs, and then formulate a treatment plan. For the treatment of tumors, the diagnosis of the disease should be determined by type and stage of the disease, and the ten anti-tumor medicines should be selected for combined use. This way, through the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation, accurate diagnosis of Chinese and Western medicine, and the combination of disease and syndrome, attention is paid to both the selection of drugs for tumors and the adjustment of the body's resistance. Syndrome differentiation and treatment can improve the clinical treatment effect of treating fibroids.
