Hydrosalpinx is often caused by chronic inflammation on fallopian tubes. Symptoms of hydrosalpinx like lower abdominal pain and lumbago always affect sufferers greatly. As for the treatment, a large number of patients are apt to accept conservative treatments like moxa-moxibustion. However, is the moxa-moxibustion effective for hydrosalpinx?
Moxa-moxibustion is an ancient treating method. With those amazing functions: warming channels, dredging collaterals, eliminating stasis, removing toxin and tonifying Qi, it commonly used for internal medicine and surgical diseases.
According to the viewpoint of
TCM, to cure the hydrosalpinx, treatment should combine with clearing heat, removing toxin, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, resolving stasis and draining dampness functions together. Since moxa-moxibustion can activate blood, eliminate stasis and remove toxin by stimulating lesion part softly, in some ways, it certainly is helpful for hydrosalpinx.
However, the help of moxa-moxibustion is limited. It can only improve the symptoms. Therefore, it is hopeless and takes long-term treatment, if hydrosalpinx patients want to get rid of this condition only by taking moxa-moxibustion. Generally speaking, to eradicate the hydrosalpinx, since moxa-moxibustion is just an adjuvant treatment, it is better for women to take
Fuyan Pill with moxa-moxibustion together.
Fuyan pill is a herbal formula that consists of Radix Bupleuri, Tuckahoe, Radix Scutellariae, Gardenia, Atractylis Ovata, Yam, Rhizoma Atractylodis, Talcum, Angelica, Peach Kernel, Safflower, Lquorice. Therefore, this herbal pill can remove toxin, clear heat, activate blood, resolve stasis, drain dampness and strengthen spleen. When working on the hydrosalpinx, it can eliminate the inflammation on tubes, improve the blood circulation, unblock the fallopian tube and promote the absorbing of hydrops.
What's more, compared with other treatments, Fuyan pill can enhance the whole functions of body, strengthen immunity.
To sum up, although moxa-moxibustion is safer than surgery for hydrosalpinx, it cannot uproot the hydrosalpinx. To uproot the hydrosalpinx, the combination of Fuyan pill and moxa-moxibustion can cure it quickly and effectively.
