Warm uterine patch for uterine fibroids

Patients with uterine fibroids are generally not recommended to use uterine warmers. Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in the female reproductive system. The uterine heating patch may promote blood circulation through local heating, but it cannot eliminate fibroids. It may also stimulate the growth of fibroids or aggravate symptoms due to excessive temperature.

The main function of the uterine warming patch is to relieve dysmenorrhea or discomfort related to uterine cold through the warming effect. However, the symptoms of uterine fibroid patients are usually related to the size, location and hormone levels of the fibroids. Local warming may increase the risk of pelvic congestion, leading to increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods. Especially when submucosal fibroids or fibroids are large, hot compress may induce abnormal bleeding. Some patients may experience increased bloating in the lower abdomen after use, which is related to fibroid pressure or inflammatory reaction.

Treatment of uterine fibroids requires a plan based on age, symptoms, and fertility needs. Asymptomatic small fibroids usually do not require special treatment and can be reviewed regularly. If symptoms of heavy menstruation, anemia or compression occur, drug control or surgical treatment may be considered. Medications such as mifepristone tablets and Guizhi Fuling capsules are commonly used to regulate hormone levels. Surgical methods include uterine myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, etc. Daily intake of estrogen-containing foods, such as royal jelly and snow clams, should be avoided. Maintaining a regular schedule can help stabilize hormones.
