Many patients tend to choose traditional Chinese medicine to treat hysteromyoma. They think Chinese medicine is safer and more effective. Gynecologists say that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating hysteromyoma is not so good in clinic. For smaller uterine fibroids, Chinese medicine can play a controlling role, but for larger uterine fibroids, such as more than 5 cm, Chinese medicine treatment can not achieve the purpose of cure at all, so patients are advised to choose treatment methods carefully. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to treating both the symptoms and root causes, so the treatment of uterine fibroids by traditional Chinese medicine is to regulate the endocrine of patients first, and then further strengthen the immune ability of patients under the condition that the endocrine state of patients is relatively stable, and finally achieve the purpose of treating uterine fibroids. In this way, not only the treatment time is long, but also patients have to take a lot of traditional Chinese medicine decoction during the process, and many patients give up treatment halfway. Drug therapy is generally to regulate the endocrine and microcirculation of patients, regulate qi-flowing, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and control the growth of fibroids. Because of the small side effects of traditional Chinese medicine, patients can easily accept it, and treatment can be started when hysteromyoma is found. However, as we all know, traditional Chinese medicine has a slow effect and a long course of treatment, so patients should make long-term preparations. However, the drug treatment of uterine fibroids generally does not cure the disease, and can only control the growth of fibroids. Therefore, if the patient's fibroids reach more than 4 cm, it is best to remove them as soon as possible. The current minimally invasive technique can completely remove fibroids without surgery, with little damage and quick recovery. Expert tip: Chinese medicine treatment of uterine fibroids is only symptomatic, that is to say, it can alleviate some symptoms caused by uterine fibroids and has an effect on menorrhagia, backache and so on. However, whether traditional Chinese medicine can control the growth of hysteromyoma has not been found in clinic at present.
