Hawthorn on uterine fibroids

Hawthorn has no effect on the treatment of uterine fibroids, because the main effect of hawthorn is to strengthen the stomach and have the effect of eliminating food. Uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent tumors, and clinically the only way to inhibit the growth of fibroids and possibly reduce their size is to use estrogen-fighting drugs or foods. However, the cost is often too great, because the use of androgenic drugs, such as testosterone propionate to treat uterine fibroids, long-term application will cause the manifestation of female masculinization, and the clinical symptoms of hirsuteness and beard growth, so this treatment is not recommended. In addition, for patients with uterine fibroids, it is important to have a regular review and not to eat foods and drugs containing estrogen in the diet.
