Adenomyosis

During the initial consultation, the depth of blood stasis and the state of coldness in the uterus are assessed based on pain patterns, menstrual flow, presence of anemia, and OB/GYN test results. Subsequently, moxibustion and deep tissue heat therapy are used to raise the temperature of the uterine muscle layer to initiate the circulation of hardened blood stasis. The second step involves dispersing the blood stasis that has invaded the muscle layer using herbal prescriptions that resolve lower abdominal blood stasis or prescriptions that activate blood-activating and blood-resolving herbal prescriptions to clear blocked blood and provide nourishment. If there is blood loss due to excessive bleeding, blood-replenishing prescriptions are administered concurrently to address anemia as well. Once pain and bleeding stabilize, we switch to a nourishing prescription designed to constitutionally improve the cooled uterine environment.
