Abstract:
A pregnant woman suffering from subchorionic hematoma (which had not responded to any Western medicine) was in danger of having a miscarriage. She was treated successfully with Shimi-kyogai-to-kami. When she was in the tenth week of pregnancy, lower abdominal pain and genital bleeding started and continued despite the administration of carbazochrome sodium sulfonate, tranexamic acid and ritodrine hydrochloride. We initiated Shimi-kyogai-to-kami in the 17th week of the pregnancy, and her symptoms improved within four weeks. The hematoma disappeared in less than five weeks. She made satisfactory progress without recurrence and gave birth to a baby boy weighing 2628g in the 37th week of the pregnancy. It is possible that therapy based on Kampo diagnosis is useful in the treatment of subchorionic hematoma. Moreover, it seems that Shimi-kyogai-to is safer than Kyuki-kyogai-to in the treatment of pregnant women.
