Clinical Use of Chai Gui Tang and Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan in Treating Uterine Cysts and Myomas

Uterine cysts and myomas, categorised as zheng jia (癥瘕) in TCM, are common gynaecological diseases. Although some are asymptomatic, some can cause serious complications such as ruptures, torsions or bleeding. In the presented case, a 60-year-old female arrived at the clinic complaining of persistent pelvic pain. Imaging initially showed a uterine cyst, and subsequently a myoma was found. The patient preferred Chinese herbal medicine over modern medical intervention. Professor Huang Huang’s Fang-Bing-Ren (Formula-Disease-Person) triangle diagnosis method was applied. Based on this method, Chai Gui Tang (a combination of Minor Bupleurum Decoction and Chinese Angelica and Peony Powder) and Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan (Cinnamon Twig and Poria Pill) were selected for treating the patient. After a year of administration, both the myoma and uterine cyst had disappeared.
