Despite various surgical and hormonal treatments available for myomas, their possible side effects warrant the exploration of complementary medicine for myoma management. Segmental electroacupuncture on acupoints located on myotomes with the same innervation as the uterus was performed for a patient diagnosed with myoma and menorrhagia, twice a week for 2\u2009months in the acupuncture clinic of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a reduction in the size of the myoma and ovarian cyst. Patient's heavy menstrual bleeding, clot passing and fatigue associated with the myoma decreased after 2\u2009months of treatment and her quality of life adversely affected by myoma\u2010related symptoms, improved. Electroacupuncture applied to acupoints that have the same innervation as the uterus has been shown to alleviate menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea associated with myomas, and it may serve as a safe substitute for conventional therapies for symptomatic myomas with low invasiveness and no adverse effects while preserving female fertility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.72011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]],"date-time":"2026-02-17T04:40:10Z","timestamp":1771303210000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Segmental
