    Cervical erosion and uterine fibroids can be relieved through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treats these two diseases mainly by regulating qi and blood and improving physical fitness. Commonly used methods include oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, etc., but treatment needs to be based on syndrome differentiation according to individual conditions.

    1. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine

    Chinese medicine practitioners will select appropriate prescriptions based on patient syndrome differentiation. For cervical erosion, traditional Chinese medicines that clear away heat and dampness, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis are commonly used, such as Fuyankang Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, Guizhi Fuling Pills, etc. Gynecological Qianjin Tablets can improve symptoms such as heavy vaginal discharge, multiple colors and yellow color. When taking traditional Chinese medicine, you need to pay attention to the condition of the spleen and stomach and avoid taking it on an empty stomach to irritate the gastrointestinal tract. During the period of taking the medicine, you should avoid eating spicy food to prevent it from affecting the efficacy of the medicine.

    2. Acupuncture therapy

    Acupuncture can regulate endocrine and improve local blood circulation in the uterus. Commonly used acupuncture points include Guanyuan, Qihai, Sanyinjiao, uterus, etc. For patients with uterine fibroids, acupuncture can relieve symptoms such as heavy menstruation and abdominal pain. Treatment must be performed by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and it is recommended to choose a regular medical institution. Empty your bladder before acupuncture and avoid being overly full or receiving treatment on an empty stomach.

    3. Moxibustion therapy

    Moxibustion has the effects of warming the meridians, dispersing cold, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Moxibustion can be applied at Shenque, Guanyuan and other acupoints to help improve gynecological problems caused by weak and cold constitutions. Moxibustion is suitable for patients with uterine fibroids with qi stagnation and blood stasis, as it can reduce the feeling of bloating in the lower abdomen. Pay attention to prevent burns during treatment, and avoid contact with cold water immediately after moxibustion. It should not be used by patients with bleeding tendency or excess heat syndrome.

    4. External treatment

    For cervical erosion, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for external washing or vaginal administration. It is commonly used to decoct heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs such as Sophora flavescens and Cortex Phellodendron, or use Chinese patent medicine suppositories such as Baofukang suppository. The perineum should be cleaned before external treatment, and use should be suspended during menstruation. People who are allergic to drugs should use it with caution. If any discomfort occurs, they should stop using it and rinse immediately.

    5. Life conditioning

    Traditional Chinese medicine treatment emphasizes coordination with life conditioning. Avoid overexertion and ensure adequate sleep. The diet should be light and nutritionally balanced, with more fresh vegetables and fruits and less raw, cold and greasy food. Maintain moderate exercise such as Baduanjin, Tai Chi, etc. to help the circulation of Qi and blood. At the same time, keep your mood comfortable and avoid long-term depression.

    It takes 3-6 months to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment to show obvious effects. During this period, regular follow-up visits are required to adjust the plan. If there is an emergency such as aggravation of the condition or sudden heavy bleeding, seek medical attention promptly. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can relieve symptoms but is difficult to eliminate fibroids. For larger uterine fibroids or severe symptoms, it is recommended to combine treatment with western medicine. You should maintain a regular schedule, avoid sitting for long periods of time, and pay attention to warmth and personal hygiene during menstruation to reduce the risk of gynecological diseases.
