|
|
Objectives: We report two cases that have an effective result with Korean traditional medical treatment to two patients who have uterine fibroids, using transabdominal ultrasonography for checking the size of uterine fibroids.
Methods: A 44-year-old patient and a 43-year-old patient were treated with an herbal medicine, acupuncture and cupping therapy. We followed up the symptoms and the size of uterine fibroids.
Results: The 44-year-old patient was asymptomatic, her size of the uterine fibroid was reduced for 6 months. Also, the 43-year-old patient experienced that the symptoms such as urinary frequency, ovulation pain, heavy bleeding were
improved and the size of the uterine fibroid was reduced.
Conclusions: This results suggest that Korean traditional medical treatment if effective for both asymptomatic and symptomatic uterine fibroids and ultrasonography is useful for checking the effect of Korean traditional medical treatment. Further case series and studies are warranted.
