TREATMENT OF UTERINE FIBROMA

The uterine fibroma is a non-

cancerous (benign) formation of the
uterus. Known also as myoma,
leiomyoma, fibromyoma or myofibroma,
the formation is made up of smooth
muscle tissue or of fibrous tissue. It may
vary in size from a pea to a melon, an
event in which also the abdominal area is
deformed.

It also generates a number of specific symptoms, but they do not appear in every case:

 heavy and prolonged menstruations (menorrhagia);

 sometimes menstruations accompanied by clots discharge;
 hemorrhages between menstruations (metrorrhagia);
 strong menstrual pains (dysmenorrhea);
 leukorrhea (heavy vaginal discharge that cannot be accounted for by an
infection);
 pelvic pain or pressure;
 discomfort or pain during intercourse (dyspareunia);
 constipation and distension caused by the pressure exerted upon the large
intestine;
 difficult intestinal transit;
 lumbar pains or pains in the lower limbs (if the tumor exerts pressure upon
certain lumbar nerve endings);
 urinary incontinence, frequent urination and sometimes renal blockage (caused
by urethral blockage);
 burning in urination;
 urinary infections;
 the uterus grows in size and the abdomen acquires the aspect of pregnancy;
 conception difficulties or sterility (if the tumor blocks the access to the uterine
tubes or to the uterine cavity);
 anemia – caused by the menstrual hemorrhages;

  fatigue caused by anemia;
 when the vascularization of the fibroma is obstructed, there may occur strong
pains;
 if the cells of the fibroma migrate to the neighboring tissues, the pains are
accompanied by fever episodes.

When pregnancy was confirmed, the fibroma may cause spontaneous abortion or
premature delivery (due to the pressure exerted by the fibroma upon the uterus or the
placenta).

The tumour can consist of one or several excrescences. In the latter case the disease is
called uterine polyfibromatosis. The location of the fibroma defines its type but it also gives a
particular symptomatology:

 submucous – the fibroma develops under the inner wall of the uterus. This type
of fibromas cause most often heavy hemorrhage during menstruation, infertility and
spontaneous abortion (where there is a pregnancy);
 intramural – the most frequent type. It grows inside the uterine wall and it
expands, making the uterus look larger than normal;
 subserous – it grows outside the uterine cavity or the membrane lining the
uterus. It presents a risk of torsion.

Causes

The growth of the uterine fibroma is influenced by the levels of the estrogen and of
the progesterone in the body. Dysfunctions of the pituitary gland, of the thyroid or of the
ovaries may cause the growth of the fibroma. Among the risk factors we may mention age,
obesity, repeated abortions and local infections. Statistics show that there are more such cases
in the women who have never given birth as well as in the African-American and the African-
Caribbean women. As far as age is concerned there has been a greater incidence in the women
between 30 and 40 years. The presence of a uterine fibroma may be associated with
thyroid, breast nodules and/or polycystic ovaries.

Treatment

The traditional medicine treatment implies the regulation of the neuro-hormonal

functions by traditional procedures, because the uterine fibroma occurs due to an excessive
secretion of estrogen and it grows when there is an increased secretion of progesterone in the
body. The regulation of the progesterone and estrogen levels is made by acting upon the
thalamus, the pituitary gland and the thyroid. Thus the growth of the fibroma is stopped. Its
resorption is done by removing the existing energy void. A tumor occurs when there is
excessive matter in the origin tissue, a misbalance caused by an energy void. The optimum
levels of matter and energy are restored by acupuncture procedures. The active substances in
the herbs help the action of acupuncture and support the healing process.

INFERTILITY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE – APPROACH

AND PRACTICE

The World Health Organization underwent
a series of researches to establish the
efficiency of the alternative therapies in the
treatment of sterility. According to them,
the success rate of IVF (in vitro
fertilization) procedures increased by 60%
in the female patients who had chosen this
conception procedure and had also
undergone acupuncture sessions.
The traditional medicine, whose history is as
old as the planet and as nature, treats the
cause, not the effect.
In this case, the herbs, the various
acupuncture techniques and other methods as
well, treat all the affections, irrespective of
their gravity. The traditional medicine is a
treasure. Those people who find it will guard
and treasure it in their turn. Those who don’t
find it, well, diseases of all kind will find
them.
