Uterine fibroids, do not go under the knife!

        For patients with gynecological obstruction (fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, adenomyosis) who have been under the knife for a long time, open surgery or minimally invasive surgery has become a pain in their mouth. Can you still be a complete and confident woman when you have surgery on your uterus and ovaries, even if it is minimally invasive? Is open surgery the only option for the treatment of patients with gynecological Y obstruction?    “Women need more humanistic care, and the focus of our gynecological Y obstruction specialization construction is right here. Let more women use Chinese medicine, get effective diagnosis and treatment as much as possible while preserving the uterus, and try to avoid traumatic methods and the hazards of recurrence so that they can spend the most wonderful years of their lives as a complete woman!”     “Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in gynecology and are therefore called the “number one tumor in gynecology”. According to relevant statistics, the incidence of uterine fibroids among women of childbearing age is 12-25%. In recent years, the incidence of gynecological diseases in the intestine has been gradually increasing due to factors such as environmental pollution, unreasonable dietary structure, fierce social competition, irregular lifestyle, and the increasing frequency of abortion and medication abortion among women.      According to statistics, 30%-50% of patients with unmenopausal fibroids will recur 2-3 years after surgery, and the recurring fibroids are often multiple, i.e. multiple fibroids. The recurrence of fibroids is usually not easily detected as there is no obvious discomfort in the early stage, and when menstrual changes or pressure symptoms appear before going to the hospital for examination, the fibroids are often already very large.       Many women, once they encounter fibroids, believe that treatment is best ‘once and for all’, which is actually wrong. In addition, for patients who have already had their fibroids surgically removed, they cannot think that the treatment of fibroids has come to an end and they can rest easy from now on, because the soil where fibroids occur and develop is still there just by external forces such as surgery and hormones, and the tiny seed fibroids cannot be removed, so they will recur, while the treatment of Chinese medicine is not only non-invasive, but its overall conditioning and individualized treatment, while eliminating the fight against fibroids, can also transform The advantages of TCM treatment are reflected at this point in time, as the soil where the fibroids grow is eliminated and transformed at the same time.      In the past, people always thought that traditional Chinese medicine has little side effects, but the effect is slow, but this is not true. On the other hand, the development of modern technology has provided a greater space for traditional Chinese medicine.        As an innovative method for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological obstruction, “Baitong Therapy” is a special treatment established on the basis of the collaboration of various centuries-old schools, which was evaluated by the Shanghai Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission as the first batch of “Specialized Diseases of Shanghai Social Medical Institutions” in 2013. In 2013, it was evaluated by Shanghai Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission as the first batch of “Specialized Specialties of Shanghai Social Medical Institutions” and was awarded 3 scientific research projects by Shanghai Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission and Huangpu District.       The clinical application program of Baitong Therapy for uterine fibroids has been revised four times so far in the past 12 years. In modern Chinese medicine, uterine fibroids have three main clinical characteristics: first, the Qi is not smooth, because the Qi is not smooth to cause blood flow stagnation, stasis into tumors; second, the turbidity and stasis into Y, with the formation of tumors, the accumulation of long and firm into Y; third, the lack of essence, the uterus is the internal organs of Qi Heng, when the collection and not diarrhea. As the uterus collects essence, the formation of the tumor is bound to deplete and injure the essence, as the saying goes, “where the evil comes together, its qi will be deficient”. For this reason, three new principles have been established in the treatment of uterine fibroids: to regulate the Qi flow, with emphasis on draining the liver; to eliminate blood stasis and break down the Y, to soften and disperse the knots; to enrich the essence, and to tonify the spleen and kidneys.       First of all, the liver is the main ascending and active agent, so it is especially important for the qi to be unblocked and unobstructed. Once the liver is not drained, resulting in the accumulation of liver qi, there will be some localized distension and discomfort in the chest, breast or abdomen, which is precisely where the gynecological diseases are located, and is also closely related to the development of fibroids; in addition, if liver qi is depressed, it will also cause depression and sentimentality; if liver qi rises too much, resulting in the rebellion of qi fire, impatience and irritability, which is also related to the development of fibroids, so draining the liver is very important. The most important thing is to regulate the liver, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to the word “regulate”, including the reconciliation of yin and yang, and the reconciliation of the internal organs and blood, because only when there is regulation can there be smooth.        Secondly, uterine fibroids are a form of evil, and of course, there are also the evil of phlegm, dampness, cold and heat, and so on, which will lead to blood stasis in long term. Therefore, the treatment must consider the use of blood stasis, softening and dispersing, as well as eliminating phlegm, clearing heat, removing dampness, dispersing cold and other methods to eliminate stasis and disperse accumulation.        Furthermore, the essence of the uterus should be filled up and not damaged. The production of uterine fibroids will inevitably cause the loss of Qi in the uterus and depletion of essence and blood. Therefore treatment to support the righteousness and eliminate the evil, and to nourish the righteousness and remove accumulation is also indispensable. To strengthen the spleen and nourish the qi to absorb the essence of water and grain to enrich the qi and blood; to nourish the kidney and nourish water to enrich the essence in the uterus, which is the key to support the righteousness.        On this basis, the expert group of “Baitong Therapy” has determined the “Baitong Tumor Eliminating Formula” based on the experience of various schools of treatment, as well as a set of additions and subtractions, and with the internal and external treatment system such as hot compresses, in order to finally achieve the flow of qi and blood, dissipate the nodes and eliminate the tumor. It is worth mentioning that the “Bai Tong Tumor Eliminating Formula” is a treatment for tumors.        It is worth mentioning that the medication of “Baitong Tumor Dissipation Formula” is also unique in that it uses flesh and blood products with emotion to strengthen the tonic and worm medicine to attack the hardness, and it is given in the way of 1+1 combination of granules and tablets to achieve the purpose of improving absorption and fast effect. At the same time, the three methods of “relieving liver and depression”, “removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules” and “tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen” are combined to provide comprehensive treatment to quickly eliminate tumors, avoid surgery and control recurrence, and at the same time to regulate the internal environment of the human body as a whole, so that patients’ menstruation This will help to normalize menstruation, leucorrhea, etc., and improve the quality of life of patients with gynecological obstruction.         In 2005 and 2009, our special disease group conducted 156 and 356 cases of clinical statistics respectively, and the results showed that the treatment of uterine fibroids with “Baitong Therapy” had achieved more satisfactory results, while the total per capita consumption decreased by 20%, reducing the burden of patients.        The treatment of fibroids in Chinese medicine follows the principles of evidence-based, holistic and dynamic, not only focusing on the tumor, but also on the cause and mechanism of the disease, emphasizing the improvement of symptoms, reduction of the tumor, prevention of new fibroids and restoration of ovarian function through holistic treatment, so that patients no longer need to undergo a knife, and the peaceful coexistence between human and fibroids has gone from a dream to reality!
