Abstract:
We experienced a case of post-operative complication and chronic pain due to left pyeloplasty and uterine myomectomy successfully treated with Kampo medicine. A 55-year-old woman underwent pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and ureteral stent for ureteral stenosis caused by synechia after uterine myomectomy. She suffered from post-operative complication and chronic pain, which was becoming severe, and had a depressed mood. She visited our outpatient clinic for Kampo therapy. We prescribed bukuryoingohangekobokuto on the diagnoses such as qi deficiency, qi stagnation, and water retention. Her symptoms disappeared with this formulation. This case suggests the importance of considering qi disturbance when we treat patients with chronic pain using Kampo medicine.
