Does taking Guizhi Fuling Pill cause uterine fibroids to grow larger over time?

Generally speaking, whether Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan causes uterine fibroids to grow larger depends on the patient's specific condition. If the fibroid is small or caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, it may not necessarily enlarge with use of the formula. However, if the fibroid is large or the patient has a heat-prone constitution, the fibroid might increase in size with prolonged use. Should any discomfort occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and follow standardized treatment under a physician’s guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the fibroid is small and primarily due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan, which promotes blood circulation and resolves blood stasis while regulating qi and blood, may help alleviate fibroid-related symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and abdominal distension, without necessarily causing fibroid growth.

If the fibroid is large or growing rapidly, certain ingredients in Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan may enhance blood circulation, potentially stimulating further fibroid enlargement.

In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, avoid excessive intake of spicy or irritating foods, keep regular作息 (sleep patterns), engage in appropriate physical exercise, and undergo regular medical check-ups.
