TCM Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Uterine Myoma

Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are the most common benign tumors in women. Treatment should be based on comprehensive considerations of the patient's age, fertility requirements, symptoms, location and size of the fibroids, etc. Those who meet the indications for drug treatment can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.

Uterine fibroids can be classified as "stone masses", "uterine bleeding" and "syndrome masses" in traditional Chinese medicine. They are mostly caused by the disharmony of internal organs, imbalance of qi and blood, and the accumulation of phlegm, depression and blood stasis in the uterus, which become symptoms over time. The treatment methods of this disease are to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse masses. The treatment should be combined with syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation. According to the patient's physical strength and the duration of the disease, the method of attack and supplement, or attack first and then supplement, or attack and supplement at the same time should be selected as appropriate, and treatment should be carried out according to the symptoms.
