This clinical case series examined the outcomes of three patients with uterine myomas who achieved pregnancy following short-term Oriental medicine treatment. The study highlights non-surgical management strategies for fibroids in the context of fertility preservation, contrasting with traditional surgical interventions like myomectomy. While the sample size is extremely limited, the report documents successful gestational outcomes without mentioning complications or long-term follow-up data. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

Objectives: It is not yet clear wheather myomectomy for uterine myomas raises the pregnancy rate or not. And myomectomy has the risk of side effects and reducing pregnancy rate by causing tubal disorders, pelvic adhesions, endometriosis and so on. Therefore less invasive treatment to patients with uterine myoma who want to be pregnant is necessary. Methods: In this study, the patients who had uterin myoma were treated by oriental medical treatments such as herbal medication, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. Results: After oriental medical treatments, their menstrual condition was improved and size of their myoma was decreased. And they were pregnant within two to five months. Conclusions: This case report shows that the oriental medical treatment is less invasive for uterine myoma and that is effective for patients with uterine myoma who want to be pregnant.
