Guest guest Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 I have had heavy bleeding for over six weeks now and I have been diagnosed with submucosal fibroid tumors. I'm currently seeing a Naturopathic Doctor who is a licensed acupuncturist as well, and I am taking herbal tinctures that include chasteberry, dong quai, red clover, black cohosh, and something else I can't remember. I am also taking three cups of red raspberry leaf tea. The acupuncture seems to help relieve the pain and I use moxa on the area twice a day to help control the bleeding. Yesterday I expelled a large object that was about the size of an orange and ever since then the bleeding has been very heavy. I also have a lot of pain in my pelvic area. I'm going in for a second ultrasound on Tuesday (couldn't get in any sooner). Has anyone had experiences like this with fibroids? A little history, I've had prolonged bleeding off and on for almost 20 years - each time it happened, my allopathic gynecologist prescribed birth control pills, which I now know help fibroids grow. How long does this last? If anyone out there has experience with acupuncture treatment for fibroids, I'd appreciate if you could share your experiences. I really like my doctor a lot and I know she's treated others with the same problem - I'd just like to hear some first-person stories if you could share. Thanks so much, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
