Fibroid

Uterine leiomyoma, in fact, there is no such concept in traditional Chinese medicine, "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu" has tendons, intestinal tumors, spinal tumors, sarcomas and so on. Among them, visceral tumors were mostly classified as Zheng Jia by later physicians.

Woman's disease refers to a disease in which a woman has a mass in her abdomen, or has pain or distension.

Symptoms refer to specific lumps of intra-abdominal mass, fixed position, pain location is generally fixed in the fixed place, the disease in blood, mostly visceral disease, the formation of a longer time, the disease is generally more serious.

Plaque refers to the location of intra-abdominal mass is uncertain, the location of pain is not fixed, the disease is in Qi, most of the viscera, the history is relatively short, the condition is generally relatively light.

Symptoms mainly manifest as mass in the lower abdomen, or accompanied by swelling and pain, often affecting women's physiological activities such as menstruation, belt, fetus, delivery, or even general discomfort symptoms, which is one of the common diseases seriously affecting women's physical and mental health, including ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and other diseases.

When we often hear about "tumors", we naturally feel that it is a very serious and malignant disease. In fact, uterine leiomyoma is a common benign tumour of female reproductive system. It is called uterine leiomyoma. It can grow in any part of the uterus, single or multiple, but often multiple.

Hysteromyoma in western medicine is mainly considered to be related to high estrogen level, heredity and uterus itself. Girls under the age of 20 are not very common, generally seen in women aged 30 to 50, especially in childbearing age. Because of the exuberant hormone secretion of women of childbearing age, they are also highly prevalent in this age group. The prevalence rate is 20%-25%. That is to say, about one of the five women is suffering from uterine leiomyoma.

Chinese medicine believes that uterine fibroids are due to phlegm, dampness and blood stasis blocked in the uterus, and can not be discharged. Over the years, latent dark growth, growing larger and larger, gradually forming lumps. The root cause is not in the uterus, but in the liver, which corresponds to the phrase "Women are born with the liver".

The common symptoms of uterine fibroids include irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal mass, pain, compression of adjacent organs, increased leucorrhea, etc. Severe can be infertility, hemorrhagic anemia, cardiac dysfunction, etc. The main symptoms of pressure in adjacent organs are：

• Urine frequency and urgency may occur when bladder pressure is applied

• Compression of the ureter may cause hydronephrosis due to incomplete or incomplete urination.

• Compression of the rectum may lead to constipation

Generally, uterine leiomyoma may not have obvious symptoms in the early stage and can not touch the mass, but can ordinary female friends find gynecological problems early through some symptoms, or early judgment of whether there is a risk of uterine leiomyoma?

Of course, there are, just as the so-called "all shapes are inside, all shapes must be outside." But first of all, we should understand that traditional Chinese medicine does not strictly classify fibroids, nor does it treat ovarian cysts, chocolate cysts, uterine fibroids and other categories separately. In fact, they are almost the same methods of judgment and treatment. We should focus on the physical environment, not on one or two parts of the body.

menstruation

From the symptoms, how can this person have uterine fibroids? First of all, it is related to gynecology, because women have menstruation, so menstruation is a very good judgment point.

Normal menstruation basically corresponds to the moon, five days for a Hou, 28 days for a month, so the most standard menstruation is a cycle of 28 days, each time five days clean. If you come in early or delayed, some people have not been cleaned for more than five days or have not been cleaned for three days, you can consider some pathological changes. If one day found that menstruation bleeding volume is particularly large, blood clots or very dark color, or even odor, you can judge the gynecological aspects of some problems.

Leucorrhea

Female vaginal secretions increased, leucorrhea color changes, increased volume, odor, and even with blood silk, all represent gynecological problems.

Acupoint reaction

Many acupoints will respond to illness. If gynecology has problems, there will be tenderness points at Sanyinjiao acupoint and blood points of spleen meridian. If there is blood stasis, there will be obvious tenderness.

Sanyinjiao is the intersection of three yin meridians (foot-taiyin, foot-shaoyin and foot-jueyin). If there is pain, it represents more or less a problem in gynecology.

The sea of blood is the sea of blood, where tenderness means blood stasis. In fact, boys also have tenderness, but it is not a gynecological problem.

The feeling of tenderness should be compared with that around acupoints. If it is more painful than that around acupoints, it is tenderness. Conversely, how to judge whether your body is better and the doctor's treatment is right? Then we can judge by the pain of pressing more and more lightly.

Poor circulation in the lower half of the body

All of these criteria are well understood and recognized by Western medicine, but Chinese medicine has other ways to judge, because Chinese medicine pays more attention to a whole, not to a disease name, but to symptoms.

Why does myoma grow? It's because of metabolic problems and circulatory problems. The beginning must be a little bit small, whether it is Qi stagnation, blood stasis or cold coagulation, will slowly block, if the circulation of the lower half of the body is good, will not get the disease. Therefore, the lower half of the body circulation is not good, feet are cold, summer may be cold, it is easy to get uterine fibroids and other diseases.

Western medicine, if there is no feeling at ordinary times, in the health check-up occasionally found uterine fibroids, and the volume is not large (< 5 cm), you can continue to observe, or take hormones under the guidance of doctors. If women are approaching menopause, they may consider not to be treated, because after menopause, hormone secretion will naturally decrease, and uterine fibroids may also subside by themselves.

But uterine leiomyoma > 5 cm may need to be removed, but it may recur, and even the uterus may be removed in severe cases. Ordinary doctors will choose the best treatment according to the patient's wishes (such as retaining fertility, etc.).

When Western medicine is used, if the uterus really needs surgery, we have no objection. But what we need to know is that although western medicine has removed the contents, the internal environment of the human body has not changed. The cold, damp and blood stasis in the body are still there. As long as the operation is done, new blood stasis will still be formed.

Our skin will scab if we get hurt. What about inside our body? If the circulation of the body is not improved, the wound will be more difficult to heal. The same is true of diabetes. Many people become very weak when they have been operated on, because Qi has to help heal wounds.
