Abstract: Uterine fibroids (UF) affect 75% of women, causing pelvic discomfort, heavy bleeding, and fertility issues. Standard treatments pose risks like liver impairment and reduced bone density. Traditional medicines (TM) offer alternative approaches. We found that data from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and bibliometric analysis using Dimension AI support TM's efficacy. In this review, we examined 21 case studies across Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, Yoga, Cupping Therapy, and Acupuncture, revealing promising outcomes in reducing fibroid size and relieving symptoms, all without significant side effects. TM interventions have tremendous potential, yet conclusive evidence is lacking. This underscores the potential of TM in managing UF and the need for further research and clinical trials for validation. Integrating TM into healthcare may enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs.
