Acupuncture Used the for Treatment of Uterine Fibroids in Cuba
Gynecologists at the Comandante Pinares General Hospital gave acupuncture to some 200 women for the treatment of benign fibroid tumors in 2008.
The results were promising, as marked improvement was shown by periodic abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound tests.
According to gynecologist Ana Rodriguez Núñez, acupuncture treatment is 6.2 times less expensive than surgery, and in most cases eliminates the symptoms associated with fibroids such as pain, discomfort and menstrual disorders.
