Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 hello- i have a prospective patient who has both a fibroid and a cyst that are 6cm ( " grapefruits, " says the doctor). of course her doctor recommends surgery, but she is hoping for an alternative. however, i have read in Giovanni's gynecology book that only small (<2cm) masses can be dispersed. has anyone experienced otherwise? is it dangerous for her to hold off on the surgery while we treat with acu & herbs? any input would be welcome. thank you, fiamma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The uterine fibroids are not likely to shrink. You have to find out what the chief complaints caused by the gynecological problem are. If she feels bloated and has stabbing pains, for instance, you give her herbs to treat that. There's no harm in waiting, but if she is bleeding very heavily from the fibroid you shuld definitely be careful not to give her blood movers right before her period. Give her stop bleeding herbs or Yunnan Bai Yao. Also, in rare cases a fibroid can grow on a stalk and twist-in that case ofcourse she needs intervention right away. The doctor should have informed her of the nature of the fibroids, and where in the tissue they are. Ovarian cysts are ok, unless they rupture-then the pain is intense, but surgery will not alleviate the pain of the ruptured cyst. The body just needs to reabsorb it. If she has had cysts rupture before, adjust your herbal formula accordingly. (I would personally not use Ziao Jiao Ci) Gabrielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
