Patients with uterine fibroids can take Colla Corii Asini under the guidance of a doctor if they are identified as having blood deficiency, but it is not recommended for those with weak spleen and stomach.
Colla Corii Asini is a solid gelatin made from the dried or fresh skin of donkeys of the family Equidae by decocting and concentrating, which has the effect of tonifying blood and nourishing yin, moistening dryness and stopping bleeding. It can be used clinically for treating symptoms of blood deficiency such as paleness, palpitations, weakness, and other hemorrhagic symptoms such as bleeding in stools and vomiting, dry cough caused by deficiency of lung yin, and heartache and insomnia due to injury of yin by heat illnesses.
This drug hinders digestion and should be used with caution in patients with weak spleen and stomach. Patients with uterine fibroids who are identified as having blood or yin deficiency can take Colla Corii Asini under the guidance of a doctor, which can nourish yin and replenish blood.
If patients need to use medication, they should be under the guidance of a doctor, and should not take medication without authorization to ensure their own safety.
