What are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. They are common in women of childbearing age between 30 and 50 years old. They are known as the "first gynecological tumor". In recent years, the incidence rate has been on the rise, and the age of onset is getting younger. Therefore, early diagnosis and early treatment of the disease are very important. Since the specific conditions of each patient are different, it is necessary to consider the current situation and long-term effects of each patient in order to properly treat them.

The treatment of uterine fibroids includes follow-up observation, drug therapy and surgical treatment, etc., and surgical treatment is still the main treatment method. Although the treatment effect is good, surgery is mostly invasive and will cause physical pain to patients. Hysterectomy, even if the ovaries are retained, may cause the early onset of perimenopausal syndrome, coronary heart disease and osteoporosis in women. At the same time, patients who undergo uterine myomectomy may have recurrence after surgery, so patients need regular check-ups.

At present, TCM is widely used in clinical practice, and there are many treatment methods, including not only decoctions, Chinese patent medicines, traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, and proven prescriptions, but also Chinese medicine enema, vaginal medication, umbilical therapy, etc. Compared with surgical treatment, drugs are easy to take and do not cause physical trauma, so patients are happy to accept them. At the same time, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and can adopt personalized treatment according to the patient's condition. It has good effects in improving clinical symptoms, reducing uterine bleeding, correcting anemia, and restoring physical strength, and the long-term effect is relatively stable.
