I came to Raleigh Acupuncture in desperation.  My GYN told me I had three large fibroids in my uterus and abdomen. I knew there was something wrong because I was having abdominal pain all the time and always looked and felt bloated.  She said that because of their size they would have to be surgically removed.  I did not want surgery and also did not want the risk of needing a hysterectomy. I looked into medical options and read about acupuncture.  My cousin had been to Raleigh Acupuncture and recommended them.  So I tried it.  All I can say is that the fibroids have now shrunk to the point where there is no longer discomfort and my GYN says there is no need to remove them surgically.  It’s a bit of a mystery to me how they did it, but my acupuncture doctor says they treat this quite frequently with a high rate of success.  Moving forward I will have my GYN keep track of any fibroids.  If they return or new ones develop I will get them treated with acupuncture.  I highly recommend this practice for the treatment of fibroids.  I feel very lucky that I sought out this option before getting surgery.
