Uterine fibroids, also known as "uterine leiomyomas," are the most common type of benign tumor in the female reproductive system. This condition often has no symptoms, and when symptoms do occur, they may include vaginal bleeding, the presence of a palpable abdominal mass, and symptoms of compression. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not well understood, but it may be related to excessively high levels of estrogen in the body. Since uterine fibroids can grow rapidly, they may undergo varying degrees of degeneration when the blood supply is abnormal. The larger the fibroid and the more severe the ischemia, the greater the likelihood of secondary degeneration. Therefore, uterine fibroids should be given adequate attention. Moxibustion has been found to be effective in managing this condition.
Qi stagnation type: Abdominal bloating, pain without a fixed location, and emotional depression.

Phlegm-damp type: The lower abdomen has a soft mass that is tender to the touch and occasionally painful, with increased vaginal discharge, and a feeling of fullness and oppression in the chest and epigastric area.
Qi and blood deficiency type: Dull lower abdominal pain, pale complexion, and dizziness with blurred vision.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course. (If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
1. When surgery is necessary, although moxibustion cannot replace surgical treatment, it can improve the patient's constitution and speed up the improvement of symptoms. 2. The diet should be light, with less consumption of hair-stimulating foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Avoid spicy and irritating foods and beverages like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white liquor. 3. Use a moxa stone tool (or warm the palm of your hand) and place it on the lower abdomen. Massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction for 36 circles, then switch to a counterclockwise direction for another 36 circles. Next, smooth push the waist and back area from top to bottom 10 to 15 times, until a feeling of soreness and swelling is felt. Massage once a day to help with the recovery of uterine fibroids.
