What is the treatment for uterine fibroids?

Suffering from uterine fibroids makes many women worry. In fact, there are many methods now that can achieve good results in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Common drug treatments and surgical treatments are relatively good, and acupuncture treatments are also widely promoted.

1. Drug treatment:

There are many Western medicines for treating uterine fibroids, but most of them are only symptomatic and not addressing the root cause. The results are not very ideal and they also cause great harm to the kidneys.

2. Surgical treatment:

One is intrauterine and abdominal myoma removal. This method is effective for small and medium-sized myomas, but it is powerless for myomas larger than 5 cm. Moreover, the recurrence rate is particularly high. There are cases where more than 200 fibroids were removed consecutively. The second is total hysterectomy, which is more effective and can fundamentally solve the problem of uterine fibroids, but it will cause loss of fertility and will no longer have menstruation. In addition, after hysterectomy, ovarian function will fail prematurely, estrogen will decrease, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease will increase. Patients are prone to adverse reactions such as obesity, hypertension, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc.

3. Acupuncture method:

Acupuncture is divided into needling and moxibustion. Acupuncture is to insert fine needles into the patient's body at certain acupoints, and use acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to treat diseases. Moxibustion is a method of applying burning moxa to certain acupuncture points to fumigate and burn the skin, using the stimulation of heat to treat diseases. The main function of acupuncture treatment is to dredge the meridians, harmonize yin and yang, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil. It also has significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of uterine fibroids, but this method requires dialectical treatment by a professional acupuncturist, so it cannot be widely promoted.
