2. Natural way to treat / prevent.
3. TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) way of treatment.
4. How Shuang Hor products help.
1. Western Treatment
1(a) Medicine
These 4 methods are usually advised if the size of the growth is less than 5 cm.
a) Watchful waiting
Doctors may decide not to prescribe anything. If the person's liver function is strong, the growths may resolve on their own.
b) Using birth control pills or hormone therapy
The main function is to stop ovulation and prevent the developments of new cysts. It also slows endometrial tissue growth and prevent new implants of endometrial tissue. But it isn't a permanent fix for endometriosis.
c) Control and lessen symptoms uterine fibroids and polyps
The most commonly used drug is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, which blocks the production of estrogen and progesterone.
Another method is by using progestin-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) or Mirena to help relieve heavy bleeding.
d) Tranexamic acid (Lysteda)
It is used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding.
Side effects of medicine
a) Birth control pills or hormone therapy
By using this method, high levels of estrogen will be produced, which convinces your pituitary gland that you are pregnant and you don't need to ovulate anymore.
Mild side effects: Larger breasts, weight gain or loss, reduced or increased acne.
Serious side effects: Increased risk of cervical and breast cancer, heart attack and stroke, migraine, yeast (candida) overgrowth and infection because birth control pills destroy the beneficial bacteria in your intestines.
b) GnRH agonists
Side effects include hypoestrogenism, hot flashes, headaches and osteoporosis (thus it's common for doctor to also prescribe calcium or bone strengthening medicine to be taken at the same time).
c) Progestin releasing IUD, Mirena
Side effects include irregular periods, benign ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and depression.
1(b) Operation / Surgery
If the growth is bigger than 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgery.
a) Remove ovarian cysts
- Laparoscopy (for small cysts). A surgical procedure where an instrument is inserted through the navel to perform minimally invasive surgery.
- Laparotomy (for large cysts). A large incision is made on the abdominal wall and if the growth is found to be cancerous from biopsy, a hysterectomy (removal of ovaries and uterus) will be performed.
b) Remove uterine fibroids
- Hysterectomy - removal of uterus.
- Myomectomy - removal of fibroids only.
c) Remove uterine polyps
- Hysteroscopy - removal of polyps via the insertion of a tube through the vagina. Biopsy is then conducted.
d) Remove endometriosis
- The initial surgery will seek to remove only the endometriosis (laparoscopically or conventional abdominal surgery).
- A hysterectomy and removal of both ovaries may be necessary for severe cases of endometriosis. The side effects include osteoporosis and accelerated ageing.
2. Naturopathy
Practicing a healthy lifestyle and diet helps prevent growths.
a) To relieve pelvic pain
- Warm baths and a heating pad can help relax pelvic muscles, reduce cramping and pain.
- Avoid cold drinks.
- Regular exercise.
b) How to shrink fibroids and cysts naturally
- Take complex carbo and low glycemic carbo to prevent diabetes (thus reducing risk of cysts) and prevent obesity (associated with development of fibroids). Avoid intake of white rice, white sugar and white bread.
- Do physical activities for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week (stabilise blood sugar levels and lose weight).
- Eat more healthy protein such as fish, beans, legumes and low-fat dairy products instead red meat or dark meat poultry.
3) Natural treatments for endometriosis symptoms
Avoid food that lead to inflammation, including dairy products, processed foods, refined sugar and excessive caffeine and carbo.
