子宮筋腫 6例에 대한 임상경과 보고

Abstract

Uterine myoma is benign tumor formed from muscular and connective tissues, which is one of the most common tumors found in women's reproductive organs. Uterine myoma is the most common pelvic tumor and they are diagnosed in up to 15 to 20% of women in pubertal period. Although myoma is generally considered to be a slowly growing tumor, in 20-40% of women at the age of 35 and more have uterine myoma of significant sizes with severe clinical symptoms. The most common symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort, low abdominal pressure sensation, hypermenorrhea and urinary symptoms. The treatment of uterine myoma is just observation, operation and hormone replacement therapy. We treated 6 outpatients who has uterine myoma and visited KyungWon InCheon Oriental Hospital with Herb-medication and acupuncture. So we have gotten good result from them. After 6 outpatients had taken Guichulpazing-tang(歸朮破癥湯), the symptoms were improved and the size of the uterine myoma was reduced significantly. It proves that oriental medical treatment is effective on the patients with uterine myoma, but continuous studies are needed.
