Q I hear endometriosis and uterine fibroids often occur together - can they be treated together?

A The two conditions share an estrogen dependence, so they often occur together. Uterus-warming and blood-invigorating, stasis-resolving Korean medicine treatment applies to both, allowing them to be managed at the same time.

Detailed Answer

Both uterine fibroids and endometriosis tend to proliferate in an estrogen-excess environment, so their co-occurrence rate reaches 30-40%. When fibroids cause heavy menstruation and anemia, the pain of endometriosis becomes even more severe. From the standpoint of Korean medicine, blood stasis (eohyeol) is the core pathology in both, so blood-invigorating, stasis-resolving prescriptions apply commonly to both. However, if the fibroids are large (5 cm or more) or anemia is severe, we proceed with obstetrics and gynecology treatment first, followed by supportive Korean medicine.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

At Dongjedang, we recommend that patients with both uterine fibroids and endometriosis keep a detailed menstrual diary (volume, duration, clots), and we reflect this in adjusting prescriptions.
